Iridium Spark Plugs
Some more advice from a Yorkshireman not living in Yorkshire, **** off. Easy tiger. My point was, that if someone tight thinks it good its probably worth a try, not that all Yorkshiremen are tight of course.

-
Just Bought Italjet Trials Bike
looks like the mk 2 which had more italjet and less bultaco bits, bet the bultaco mudgaurds which are readily available would fit the rear.

Garelli Works Bike!
If its a grimeca fantic/swm hub won't one of those sprockets go straight on? Sounds from your descriptions that if 3rd matches first on a 315 this could transform the bike.

Sherpa Frame No's
If you do a bultaco google search it should direct you to a number of sites which explain the numbering system. Dave Renham is THE man for parts and information.

Rim Tape Snag (again!)
This is not abnormal. What you do is starting at the valve, asuming this is seated snug as should be, work your way towards the opposite side pushing the tape towards the valve as you go. Flip to valve other way round and do the same ending at your buble opposite the valve. This has the effect of evening out the stretch and should mean the bubble is somewhat smaller. Push one side of the rim tape into the groove so that side of the tape is correct. Then using something like a tyre lever ie not sharpe, push the little bit that remains on the other side downwards into its groove little by little. This should have the effect of correctly locating the last side, but sometimes, usually if you have messed about for a while, leaves a little bubble in the middle but the edge is seated fine. Pop the tyre on using a beader and leave overnight with say 40 psi and this will smooth out the tape. (you can take the tyre off to check if you want! If it holds pressure (test with soapy water at low pressure) then job done, if not go for silicone on rim tape edge only, repeating the process above. I always check the valve stem sealing and usually put a little sikaflex around this to make sure it is, any re used valve stem can be tricky as the rubber o ring doesn't like to be reused. Make sense? if not call me.

Cast Aluminium Welding
I'm no metalurgist, and can't spell either but putting both things aside with such an important part that can take some considerable forces, is there no side effect ie weakening by welding cast ally?
