After being sidelined all last season due to issues with an un-salvagable dunstall glass tank, my new manx 5 gallon arrived early january so I began the process of stripping her down. So far:
- head rebuild almost complete
- cylinders still within service limits, bores freshened up, blasted, painted and awaiting new rings
- hemmings ISO collars installed
- swing arm pin in good nick, as were the cradle bores, but I installed new bushes anyway and the shaft collar mod
- NOS alloy fr and rear mudguards installed to match tank
- tank now off for airbrushing as are sidecovers
- fitted early triumph taillight
- ditched old lucas horn and remounted $15 disc flapper
- relocated powerbox
- still awaiting primary spacers and bits to reassemble, but clutch bearing and center all in good nick
