Thanks, I'll have a proper look!

Hi all,
I'm trying to post an advertisement for my M49 I'm putting up for sale, I can't find a sales forum here, is there one or can I just put the advertisement on here?
TIA.
Mike

Sorry, just read this, no, I did the Manchester 17 Dead easy near Buxton. a super day out!
Easy enough to apply for an ACU license on their website, you can join an affiliated club at the same time, very simple.
-
Bolton have a trial at Grimehills tomorrow. Great weather for it too!

Try Bolton motorcycle club, I did one with them last year at Grimehills. Friendly bunch. Manchester 17 are a decent club but most trials are in Derbyshire. they are running the first Dead easy trial of the year this Saturday near Buxton..

I came to trials a few years after I retired from road racing. I was completely gobsmacked at how cheap it is to do as a sport. (I won't say compete because I'm rubbish...)
Wish I'd started years ago.

Nice video, once the price comes down a bit I'll be looking at one.
-
If you can give me the O/D, I/D and overall length I'll look it up. I have an SKF catalogue in work. I should be able to identify the bearing.

I enjoyed the event, I also was disappointed at the lack of goodies to buy. Didn't notice the prices fluctuating but would have been annoyed if I had. Loved the craic and friendly atmosphere though.
-
How did they get the ice cream van up there?
-
Saw it happen, impeccable timing, must have hurt...
-
Kind words! I remember reading about a Japanese tuner in the 70s who would skim drums true, lace up the wheels then heat them up before a final skim.
In my case, it's just laziness....??
-
Thanks Craig, I know what you mean mate, feel like an active historian! So much I need to learn though!
-
It's got an interference fit, chill the liner and warm the hub to get it in. I can't see it getting particularly warm the way I ride! I put a little bit of loctite on the face just as belt and braces. I'm pretty happy with the way it's gone. I need to sort out some shoes, a brake rod and a new lever. Keeps me out of mischief...
I know the finish has chatter by the way...?
-
-
Oh well, means I've got more time for other stuff! Thanks for the heads up.?
-
Trying to find time to make and fit a new drum. Hopefully it'll be done this week.
My mate has suggested going hydraulic on the rear, if I can find a suitable slave cylinder I'll have a bash. If I go ahead in the future I'll make a complete new brake plate to save ruining an original Bultaco part. ?
-
Well, just finished machining the drum, it is indeed a cast - in liner. I've taken it out to the nominal diameter of the aluminium, I'm guessing 144 ish mm. Just got to sleeve the bearing diameter while it's set up and sort out a mild steel sleeve for the drum.
Slowly getting there!
-
That was my worry, I won't be doing anything too demanding on the bike but I'd like it to stop!
-
Been too busy the last couple of days to make any progress, I'm hoping to try and get the hub bored later on. Another question, I know I'll probably get flayed alive for suggesting it but I've found some cast pipe in a scrap bin, it would only need a lick on the o/d and bore to be spot on for size. It's not cast iron, it's a nickel chrome alloy steel, basically stainless. I'm happy to try it out, thoughts guys? (The only cast iron I have is a huge chunk and it seems a waste)
