I've finally found some to time to make some progress with the assembly of my '77 Jota :D

However, I'm looking for confirmation of the steering lock and oil cooler bracket assembly please. Reference the photo below (taken before the parts were refurbished....), specifically the elongated hole at the outer end of the steering stop (in the centre-ish of the photo) - this mounts to the frame cross-piece below the steering head, but is it a direct fastening or should it have a 6mm rubber bobbin between the two parts? (I'm aware that the oil cooler mount to the left of the pic uses a bobbin).
I've checked through my various parts diagrams, but can't find the answer. Anyone able to confirm please?

Thanks,

Perfecto, cheers Grant! (bigthumb)
That explains why inserting a bobbin pushed it too high and leaving it out pulled it too low.

Ta much! :D
 
Whats the flat strap and the solid rod in the first pic do,I dont rember it at all on my 3C.Any chance of a pic of it mounted to the frame.I dont think mine has it from a hazy memery of fitting it 25 years ago.
 
What flat strap and solid rod.
Do you mean the hollow threaded tube welded to the upright that then is rubber mounted at the top to the steering stop?
This is where the long bolt passes through to attach the oil cooler.
 
I think Vince means the flat is rolled around the front that would go up agaist the steering head. The earlier bikes dont have that.
Al' sometimes you have to push that steering lock plate around a bit in the sloted mount to get the oil cooler to sit square.
Well done! :D :D :D
 
The bit in the first pic sticking out on the left side of the pic.I also don't think mine had that curved vertical shoulder bit in the same pic but on the right side.Might be handy to get a selection of pics for the different models,wouldn't surprise me to see wrong stops on wrong bikes.
 
The steering stop on Cerianis doesn't have the raised semi circular piece as far as I remember Alan. It might not make any difference mind you.

Davo, the pic I posted at the beginning of the thread relates to my '77 Jota with Cerianis.

Be that as it may, someone has put a Marzo steering stop on it.  :D
 
Thats why I said it would be a good idea to see a few pics and identify whats what.Wouldn't surprise me if thats happened to other bikes,bit like the different centrestands for Maz and Cer
