Ben, I just bought 3 of the RM8's from simplybearings.co.uk they also do the carrier wheel bearing 6408 at £20 each.

I think once you have cleaned up your cam, cover it with grease. Before you put your cam bearings in, pop one seal and add some more grease, (they never come with sufficient grease). Also don't put your radiator in yet !, consider tack welding your cam plate mounting plate left side retaining nuts to the carrier floor, that way later on if you have to drop the cam you can just unscrew the bolts out from the bottom (my plate is missing some left side bolts due to the sheer impossibility of fitting them with carrier engine/radiator/cooler assembled!).

Anyone got details pics of the cam plate canvas cover, not the drivers compartment rod cover but the rarely seen cam roller covers, I think Richard had a pic of this when he bought his carrier.

Ben, Also before you fit your cross tube, lay in your gear change connecting rod under it!!.

kev.

Bearings ordered and on the way. I'm off to paint a selection of bits and bobs later.

Cross tube will probably be the next job, the radiator won't go in until after the engine is in I would think, too easy to damage.

Does anyone have any of the conduit elbows that fit to be back of the division plate spare? I don't think I have enough. I need to track down some of the shielded flexi pipe that the speedo cable runs down and a long length of bike brake cable for the Arens control.

I have some if you want to make some more from them they are just cast... I also have dies and benders for making the old style conduit.

Also Dirk has the speedo cables and if you need the drive sprocket for the speedo, Marc made copies from mine... He may still have details to make more.

Thanks Richie

I'll keep you in mind for benders.........I've got the speedo cable and drive gear it's the spiral type outer protector I'm after about 8mm diameter I think.
