Replacement drive arrives from NBS. The casing is a bit untidy and evidence of a previous owner using a rotary steel brush. Set about tidying up with help from a borrowed Dremmel and kit. Decided to fit it to swing arm while work in progress, easier when its held in one place, exhaust and shock removed to help with access.
Used the Dremel on some parts, but mostly 600 and 1000 wet and dry, then steel wool with T cut, then Autosol. Some of the pitting too deep to realistically remove, looks just fine now though, perfection not the goal.
18 March
Filled with oil, everything tight! Wheel, shocks, brake, exhausts all fitted and tightened up.
Test ride curtailed by sudden rain, but no leaks at all after six miles. Phew!
Marks at 12 oclock too deep to remove
Looks more than good enough for an old 'un
