Winter Service

New bigbore 35mm j-tubes..........loads more space!!
The best of both....i had to keep the original spindel as the two liter starter is longer , and it has more ware than the 1600 spindel. Better solenoid fitted also. A little sealant also.
Get it clean, abrasive paper on the electromagnetic surfaces, cleaned all the brushes.

So with winter fast approaching and with a host of failures , notably the broken manifolds and dodgy starter motor. New j-tubes (no more crappy heat!! :0) with quality slim 11mm brass nuts and ss bolts....new 35mm gaskets also. Also stripped down the dicky starter and it was totally full of dust and rust......so cobbled together the best of two......cleaned, greased and sealed it all it up, fresh.
