Cant remember the name, have their details saved somewhere.
I'll price them, if its stupid then i'll just go elsewhere.

Re: Sams' cheap NC30 rebuild!
Forks rebuilt and rear Hub out. It was dry as a bone! No grease in sight. I also found a little rubber wedge in the swingarm. Possibly a side stand rubber. Not sure, will fire some Pics up after work!
Now only have to do valve clearances (which i've been putting off like mad) and a few other wee bits to tidy it up!
And put it all back together of course!

Cool.
I'm looking forward to seeing this finished.
But you're making me feel bad about the slow progress with my 2 now!!

Re: Sams' cheap NC30 rebuild!
Just to make you feel bad Vic!
Panels re-lugged and test fitted

Rubbed down


Then stripped

Few new seals and bits


And Rebuilt

Whats that hiding in the swing arm?


Any ideas?
Gave it a good scrub


Panels are off to painters, have been filled and tidied up. There looking great. Trying to sort decals out soon!

Re: Sams' cheap NC30 rebuild!
Hope to spray up daft bits like the fan mount, screen brace and maybe yokes tomorrow evening. And maybe a bit more cleaning. Then might spend Friday night in the pub, so i'm hungover, and have an excuse not to do my valve clearances on Saturday.

Re: Sams' cheap NC30 rebuild!
Sounds like a plan!!
I'm hoping to get time on sat, replace exhaust gaskets on one & try to free clutch.
Then fit loom, carb rubbers, carbs to the other.
Samcos arrived yday, so should be able to test fit the rads
Must get a cuppa/pint sometime & a proper chat, only 10 mins away from each other!

Re: Sams' cheap NC30 rebuild!
