basketcase Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I was wondering if anyone could tell me the torque setting for the cylinder head nuts on my 1975/6 MAR. Also is the paint on the hubs satin or gloss black? And.....does anyone know if the rear shock decal (BETOR) is available anywhere? Many thanks in advance, Nigel.

trialsrfun Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) 15ft/lbs at 3 stages, maybe 5/6 10 then the 15 is the figure I have for the MAR OSSA. Hub paint ? Would be interested myself in the paint type. Edited May 11, 2014 by trialsrfun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus54 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I recall the Phantoms of that year had flat black hubs. I had a MAR NOS hub floating around for yeas- it was either flat or satin black. I think I sold it a few years ago-but it was long enough ago I don't actually remember! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basketcase Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Many thanks trialsrfun and lotus54. I have some heat resistant black that should be gloss but it always turns out satin so I`ll go for that. And for the earlier post, can the spindle that the brake lever and chain tensioner are on be removed with the engine in situ.....yes it can!!! I`ve just done it but I did have to remove the swing arm. Cheers, Nigel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus54 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I'll look through my pics I took when got the bike to make sure. Here is one of a new 1974 Phantom- looks like a low gloss rear hub. I sure thought the later bikes were flat or satin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
