It was put on just as a trial fit while I was putting the front end stuff in. There was no intention for it to stay like that. In actual fact I only had that photo of the whole assembled unit at that point in time and didn't really expect anyone to notice the rough looking adjuster. Now in saying that I spend a couple of hours on it wasn't just the wheel work but as you suggest the filing and sanding by hand that took up most of the time. I have also done the brass thrust pad as well so that the two would match, just remembering that both these items were originally finished in body matched colour which I've always felt looked a tad off. Anyway the clear I've used is an industrial grade of clear used for lacquering brass plaques like what Doctors have mounted on the outside wall of their surgeries. It was given to me years ago, try 20 years ago and has still held up in the sealed can that's been opened up many times over the years.
All I'm going to do is sticker up the chain case tomorrow and apply the brass badge on to the handle bar shield and that's about it for now until I get the two half links for the two chains on Tuesday. Only then can I say it'll be finished.
Anyway here's as she stands right now,
Cheers, BB.
PS. Oh and yes that's a piece of sheet rubber supporting the drive shaft on the clutch fork until the engine finds it's way on to the engine deck and lifting the whole clutch / drive shaft assembly. Oh and how I hate fitting engines on to freshly painted surfaces..... grrrr !!
I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
