    Alan
    Thank you.
    I’ve no idea what rods I have, been in for years. What caught my attention is that they only screw into into the fork by 1/4”, which is fine - no idea why was even looking!
    I have a 3/4” master cylinder, although have a 948 clutch arrangement. Might be worth looking at modifying it to give 7/8” for the clutch. Can’t find anywhere local to me (Lancashire) but can ...

    I read something yesterday that perhaps explains why we have got in such a mess these past few years. Apparently senior figures in government and the civil service are frustrated by the lack of leadership because recent PMs seem incapable of making a decision in a reasonable timeframe. Starmer just sits on information and never acts, May always wanted more information and Johnson was forever chan...

    You can of course improvise a torque wrench by weighing yourself and then working out where on your breaker bar to stand...

    The suppliers sell one length of pushrod making no mention that 3/4 and 7/8 dual master cylinders require different length rods, between piston & pedal, because the piston in one or other is hollowed.
    It should become apparent whether you need to trim the length of the new pushrod when you come to fit it. If you still have the two differing masters then compare the pistons. One should pr...

    I bought an INIU. 10kmAh 45W power bank. £17.25 delivered. And it came in less than 24 hours. It's very neat, includes the USB -C cable and weighs just 145gms. Just what I wanted; very pleased with it so far!

    Tested: It arrived with 50% charge, showing with neons. It topped up to 100 % in 1h 20mins.
    It then charged my phone from 32% to 90% in 22 mins.

    When Alan said the pushrod length needs reducing for 3/4” master cylinder , does he mean screwed into the fork so it measures 3.75” from the pushrod end to the clevis pin hole ? How long is the 7/8” pushrod? With 3/4” master cylinder my pushrod only screws into the fork 1/4” - I’ve no idea what the pushrod length is.

    You're right Trev.

    I can't ever remember, since I became politically aware sometime in my mid teens, actually having real despair about the state of the country.

    I always thought it could NEVER get THIS bad.

    Even though I and many others saw how Starmer blatantly lied his way to power, and even with useless theeving Reeves robbing us and crippling the economy, I still sa...

  • M Hyde17 May 2026

    Thanks again Chris. Much appreciated. Yes, after welding a new nut to the damaged and stuck drain plug - it sheared off anyway. Time spent with a slow drill and progressively larger drill bits to create a new aperture and tapping it receive a new 'plug and sealing washer. Cleaning out any swarf with flushing and then all back together now with fresh oil.

    Pesky job!

    Thanks Merv...

    Bjlp - Rob's badge is what you need.

    Paul

  • Rob Snell17 May 2026

    Hi Paul,
    Believe it is a original boot badge as it has the locating pin and a lot flatter than the grill badge, it is identical to the boot badge on my Yt and Ya , bolt length fine as only has to go through boot skin.
