Looking for a list of vestigial parts in a 1970 t120 build. Didn’t get a lot of response on the other board, and since nortoneers are more accepting of improvements, figured I’d ask here…. Lotsa stuff in a 650 triumph that looks vestigial to me, i.e. could be left out… examples I thought of
Sludge trap (gotta keep the plug, ditch the sludge tube, cartridge oil filter kit)
Weird chain oiler thingamabob in primary
Primary crank oil seal? 70 has the 3 lil holes drilled into the primary, effectively un-sealing it anyway…
Transmission main shaft bearing oil seal? New bearing came sealed on the one side…
Two obnoxious flat head screws in crank cases around pushrod tubes? I heard they were deleted at some point further down the line but I might have made this one up…
Oil pressure release valve?
Ok I put that last one up just to see if you were still paying attention. But seriously though- what can be or is better left out? My commando has all the trick mods- enlighten me on this 650 lump!
