August 14, 200818 yr For my sins (a multitude obviously!) I have ended up with a hardly used and near perfect 1979 Monty 349. I have found everything to put it back to 'out of the box' condition except the bracket that holds the chain tubes in postion. The previous owner cut down the original bracket to fit a road sprocket so I can fit the original sprocket without replacing the bracket. Any ideas where I may find a NOS bracket or even a good used one. It's all the bike needs before heading off to the museum.
August 15, 200818 yr As far as I remember Martin that bracket came with a bearing arrangment where it mates with the rear brake backing plate. The one you pointed out seems to be missing that. Beamish, please post pics.
August 15, 200818 yr Cant remember Tim.....it shows the same one in the parts book Edited August 15, 200818 yr by MartinM
August 19, 200818 yr Author Thanks Martin and Tim for your input. I just need to brush up on my Espanol to order the bracket! I thought I had found everything but as it turns out I am in need of the 'Malcolm Rathmell con Scottish Six Day Trial' decal from the top of the tank cover. I wrote to Malcolm and he very kindly sent me two decals from his 1979 SSDT but neither were the one from the bike. Any ideas on the decal chaps?
September 15, 200817 yr Author Having contacted Joan Vidal about the chain tube bracket, they wrote back and told me I could buy one from Dave Renham!
