Be prepared for a poor rear brake once assmbled the mechanical advantage is terrible.

Just digging out the parts for my '81 Jota and looking at the rear brake. The parts diagram at the start of this thread is really helpful but doesn't show the spring...which I have got. However can someone advise if the spring just sits on the frame or is there a bush that fits inside the spring? I haven't found a bush so hoping the answer is that there's no bush.

Thanks

Nick

There's no bush. The lug that takes the transfer shaft is longer on the "inside" of the frame, the spring sits over and is held in place by this part of the lug.

Thanks Piet. Gradually finding all the bits and pieces - just a few bits on the gearchange side to find...

This is what I did to raise the m/c to get the position and angle, formed the s/steel rod and fitted rose joints.
This has worked very well for me for years.

A handsome beast to be sure.

They always look good with a 3 into 1 exhaust. Interesting swingarm, what’s that off

The swingarm I purchased early 80s and it was originally painted orange . That chrome is 30+ years old and is still superb. The 3/1 is from an endurance bike also from the 80s, its a one piece structure which is horrible to fit. Over the years it has been painted orange and blue (now black).
I cannot remember where the hell I bought them,- those brain cells are long gone !
