Hi all,
I have just fitted the head to my 850 Commando. (Third time lucky - I'm becoming an expert!) However I feel that the three head
to barrel studs (067885) are a bit short. There seems to be only about 5/16" of thread for the sleeve nuts (063192) to go onto, and
the rear stud has only enough thread for about half the long nut at the back. I am not using washers as there would be even less
thread available for the nuts. I do not think I have put the studs in the wrong way round as I think the head end thread is different
to the nut end thread.
Has anybody else noticed this phenomemon?
Is it normal?
Has anybody tried making slightly longer studs?
(I realise longer ones probably make fitting the head even more difficult!)
Thanks
Staytite
