Old Brown

Is it a stud threaded in or is it pressed in.

Neither. Looks like it was machined as a solid piece. You can see where the backside is machined out. I just measured... the "stud" is 12mm and the hole is 10mm. You could cut the stud off flush, drill through from the back and tap it for a 12mm stud... or just a bolt for that matter. If you wanna do some welding, I could send ya this one...

I was afraid of that. That's why it has remained just a exhaust hanger for 40 years. For now I think the status quo will do.

Hey Twomany I was wondering how you were doing. Had Bill's BBQ for dinner.

Likewise with Gonzo box and trying to move buildings around the compound. And the nightly squall lines.

It's Music Fest time and I usually get about 40% of may annual rainfall during the 3 weeks of Kerrfest.

Gone back and looked. I think I may have the pin functions on the TCI connectors juxtaposed. The white/red in the upper left corner of the connector is probably the idle pickup. The white/red on 650 harness to gonzo pickup+ is how Jim is wired.
Edit : Wrong thread .

I love a good oil discussion here. People that know me well describe me as a evil bastard.

This does kinda make me lean towards the diesel oil.

Thinking of ordering one of these for Old Brown. 5/8" (~16mm) bore. Not cheap but first repop of a early master cylinder I've seen .
I need to double check but I think the XJ calipers I'm using also had a 5/8" MC.

If you're going 'after market' for parts, you might be better off with a master cylinder having a smaller diameter piston. It's kinda subjective, but a lot of people think you get a better "feel" of the rotor with a MC having a piston diameter of 12(ish)mm. That, and a good, braided stainless steel brake line (to give you a more "solid", positive feel) would be a nice upgrade. As long as you're in there "cleaning house".....

I have searched till I blue in the face and can't find it here. I know there is a thread about user experiences with vendors and I would like to say some nice things about a couple of people here I have dealt with here. Anybody remember that thread or is my over active imagination at work again.
