Lost & Found

[chrisk]

I was having a clean up in my garage today. I found a box, couldn?t remember what was in it opened it up and there they were. I?ve misplaced those for over fifteen years. The swingarm boss things for a triple swingarm.

But then I opened up a black plastic bag that was in the box, and...... ??? Where did they come from? Look, think, look, think .......  (dunno)
A never used set of Koni shocks, 10mm eyes.

Maybe I got them with the 79 Jota I bought 30 years ago? Phil?

That's brilliant ..my best find story was a ?5.00 note in my old overcoat.
No comparison.

Not me Chris.
Just those original Corte Cossi Struts (whatever) and the Fournales.
But hey I had a lot of bits and pieces back then.
Good find.
Keep looking!

The ones I found are a pair.

Only about 1000 parts on that page, Chris! Was there something I should have been able to pinpoint there?!  :

#44 is the spacer between the two swing arm bushes.

Shall I be the pedant?
No 44 is the actual spindle for the bronze bush type swingarm, it goes the full width.
I think you're talking about #27 in the needle roller setup with the separate inner races.

 

[chrisk]

:-[ My mistake #27 it is.
Is needle bearing spacers, swingarm had bearings not bushes.

I was digging around for something entirely different today, but found a Brembo alloy master cylinder I'd forgotten about. Buried deep, hadn't seen it for years.

8) Nice Pat. And no gravel rash. That?s a keeper.

OK, shall I be more pedantic?  It's not a spacer or a spindle. It's a sleeve.

??? It?s  a spacer, Mr Padantic. It spaces out the bearing hard shafts, so you can torque up the pivot spindle without crushing the BJesus out of everything. Except the felt washers.

My mum told me never to argue with idiots pedants, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!

I may start another thread ?lost? and if I ever find where I put the set of Chott yokes off my old 500 racer, the set of clocks off an old, Spanish import, MK2 Montjuic, the other magnesium fork leg to make up the pair etc, etc I can then report back on this thread...

Probably not Chris -I used to import the "Fontana" (FAC) shox

I'm up for that one, Andy!
In my case: a full set of brightwork for my TLS back brake and a set of white rubber strips for a Laverda rear carrier.
Took them off, years ago, intending to get some chroming done.
I know where they were, before I extended/rebuilt my garage, damned if I can find them, now.
