Ceriani 38mm fork assembly..how to?

[tritone1962]

Cheers,

my 1000 3C project bike is coming to the final mounting stage...after Piet has done magic to the engine..looks like new...should be even better than new inside.
As i bought this bike as a rolling chassis with lot's of parts beeing missing/wrongly mounted i'd like to get some expert advice on the front fork assembly:
  Accordingto the parts manual the fork should be assembled like this pic:

My questions:

- How to mount the upper spring (part no: 28), it seems conical, wider side down or upwards?

- Is the brass hut(part no: 40) facing with the lid against the valve body's(part no 32) chamfered side?


Thanks for your advice!

Thanks Stefan,

help just from around the corner
Your assembly makes sense to me...

IF that is correct, THAN the parts catalog table 19 is WRONG!? Same to Green book!

Can anybody confirm this?

Thanks jens

Found Andy Wagners catalogue the only source displaying it the right way so far.

Andy's catalog pics are lifted straight from the factory manuals... plus his minor additions .

Andy' catalogue (2007 issue) and his online pic's are wrong too...if Stefan is right!?
I wonder why this has never been covered between the experts here...at least scrolling through the ceriani fork topics i didn't find it...maybe too stupid myself :'(

Experts opinion still welcome...

cheers

Thanks all you out there!!! (3some) (clap)

The issue's sorted, ALL manuals/partslist are WRONG  so please follow Stefan's pictured advice and Rob's hints to those old (2005!) threads!
