Bregenze 750 Side Panel brackets

[Simon Yates]

There is no visible means of mounting / securing the side panels to my 1969 750.
The battery is seated on a simple tray without any integral brackets on it.
Can someone please post an image of both the fuse box (mine is a 4 fuse type which has no cover?) and the starter solenoid areas showing the early 750 S or GT side panel brackets.
I may need to purchase / fabricate some brackets before the side covers will attach.

Can't post a pic, I'm not home.
Side panel mounting lug is on the frame.
Fuse box is a 4 fuse affair available as a replica, with cover.
Only 3 fuses wired in I think.

from  an S.

Haven t got the other side of that S  but these pretty dark/vague!  ones are from my GT,from my pic library.

Initial observations (1) Makes sense the starter relay is inverted, (2) alternative location for the voltage regulator, (3) side panel screws very close to the line of the forward frame tube.

Beware, early GTs didn't have the same side panels due to different frame.

Here are 2 bare 750S frame images.

Those base frame images are perfect thank you.  We will see what we have!

 

[LJ-2]

perfect Marnix!

Must be early side panels as the frame cross-plate is not tapped on either side.
Can either wait to find some early side panels or tap for later ones.  It is M8 thread I presume.

I seem to recall that the thread was (annoyingly) M7 and again if memory still working, that there was a nut welded onto the back of the steel strip.

Yes.

Should tie a Fish Leader onto them 750 side panels, if you don't want to loose them. Don't trust them Big Nuts and be-sure to tighten them with every circle check before you ride.

On mine the thread in the bracket and on the screw wore out equally. Tapped them to 8mm and carefully inserted a stud into the screwknob. With Phil?s new screws you could weld and redrill/tap the frame bracket if it is worn out on a bike with that mounting system.

these days you could probably grind off the old nut and GLUE a new one in position.
yesterday, I managed to dislodge one of the external steel toe caps on my very old and tatty work boots, and since I was going to be knealing down for a couple of hours, I wanted to re-attach it, so the laggers gun with white squirty adhesive in it, for sticking his sheets up was "borrowed" and the rusty oily cap was bonded back onto the rotten dusty knackered leather and 20 seconds later it cant be budged, and this was not builders fixer/filler foam, but a very sticky adhesive, most impressed to say the least, when the "bristles" from my flux brush dropped off the handle, which has a rusty corroded tin wrap on the end to hold the bristles, you know what, this stuff stuck that on for good as well.
