Is the dust just for effect?

🤣 The dust was real. It looks like the last guy stripped the paint from the frame, painted it, screwed it together a bit, then left it to gather the dust you saw.
It needed scrubbing back a bit and painting again. I also have a new top nut with a bearing cover. A decent swinging arm was found, and I will start putting it back together tonight.
I promise it will not gather dust again. Someone can have it and ride it.

Reading through Duffers pictures (you know what I mean) got me thinking how little SD parts I now see at Autojumbles, 5 or 6 years ago you always found a few sellers with bits, did not even se a broken indicator at this months Kempton Park

You mean no one reads my carefully crafted manuscripts ?
Oh
Never mind. You mentioned indicators. I need indicators 👍😁
BTW. Based on your quite correct assessment of the rarity of SD parts, this swinging arm will be ready soon at the bargain price of £850 👍🤔

Project update. Seeing as no bugger is reading it....
 Sorry. I have to write something. Picking up someone else's job takes time because it all needs looking at again. The engine has been rebuilt, but clearly not run from the state of the oil.  So I have checked timing, tappets, bolt torque setting, clutch not stuck together, wiring and stuff. All not bad. But taking the clutch cover off, the clutch little push head fell out.  Can you see the problem ?  How about now ?  Spring and circlip missing ! Got to keep awake 😳 Hope nothing was missed in the middle bit 😕 |

So, if that one is near completion, does that mean you will have room to do my 996 panels? 🤣
