MK 3 bracket

This is just the left plate
The chewed bit of alloy between the nuts was just to get a line and that will be 8mm plate like the side brackets.
It will be welded both sides onto the side plates

It's all fun and games

I snapped a bolt in the cases as some donkey had red loctited the screws in

Got one out and the other one snapped at the head,drilled in a bit and got the devil stud extractors out i vowed never to use again

Yep and the fecker snapped

So had a nut welded over the stud and after a few attempts $\:D/$
Bottom pic shows how the weld is built up above the threads

Top pic shows the tip of the stud extractor

Another thing i vowed never to do was a bit of home tuning

Ain't touching anything else but matched the crankcases to the transfer ports on the barrels.
There is always quite a step between the two.You need to trim the base gasket now aswell

First time I ever used a stud extractor it worked perfectly and I thought it was a fantastic invention - that was in 1985 - since then I have had 3 sets and never made them work again.

I have bought a cheap bench drill made in China - now I drill out the snapped fastener nice and slow starting with a fine drill bit and using gradually bigger bits - the heat normally shifts the fastener but keep going until you can clear it out with a thread tap - never failed but its not a 5 min job.

Got some TZR 250 6 petal reed blocks,the holes need to be slotted in to fit and a spacer fitted between barrels and reed blocks as the TZR reed blocks go in by a further 5mm.
Apparently this is a good mod and compared to V Force 3 reeds are blummin cheap

Even with a 6-8mm spacer (recommended) it may need a bit of tickling to fit

That does look good HC, class bit of engineering =D>

Damn my lack of engineering ability

I did cut the plates out and drill the 20mm hole but it's me mate Lee who is a welder/fabricator and responsible for about 99% of what you see on these pages

Posted: **Sat Sep 24, 2011 9:00 pm**

Yeah but its you with the idea HC.

That's what matters fella
