Does anyone have the specifications for the oil inlet valve spring for early 2 3/4 engines - Part number 424.   I have tried to order one from the club spares but apparently Jeff Swan is indisposed at the moment.

Have you tried the new Drafts feature yet? I just lost a long message today and learned my lesson. It is a good idea to save a draft of any long post you are writing. You can then just keep writing and keep saving a draft, knowing you have a backup if there is a glitch. The draft is automatically deleted when you post the message.

Hi
I am ready to put forks into the Dragonfly frame however I can't find a top plug - steering column tube Plate 22 number 87 part number 34492. The club doesn't have one and I don't know what one looks like or how it fits. I have a box of bits so a description or photo would be handy.
Thanks
Peter

Peter,
          It is just a round plug (to suit the bore of the steering column) with a threaded stud (about 3/8" long) in the top to suit the large chrome dome nut. From memory, when fitted, it stands about 1/2" proud of the top of the steering column (to suit the height of the cover plate around the handlebar links). If you make it an easy fit, you can Loctite it at the required height after fitting the tank and headlamp nascelle.

  Regards,
                Eddie.

Thanks Eddie. That solves the problem. Apart from not knowing what it looked like, I couldn't see how it was secured.
Back to the garage.
Cheers
Peter
