Think that's possibly what I'll end up doing ball bearing s would be nice too though do you think it would be possible to just use a sleeve to thicken the current axle to accept the 9/16 wheels to keep the axles standard ?

It can be done but not easy to make a sleve to slip on because you are talking only 1/16th and that becomes 1/32 wall thickness and that is like tissue paper. You can fit a sleve and then turn it down to size but you have to cut the axle off to turn it so much easier to make new stubs

Captrusty,
You could just get a set of later model ball bearing wheels, and replace the bearings with 1/2" bore ones, which are very easy to get....

I haven't bought any for a while, but the last set of these from FleaBay set me back ~$17 posted, for 8 bearings and 4 retainer washers [as used on Masports].


Cheers,
Gadge

You do make a good point there norm hadn't thought of it in those terms may not be worth going down that track.

Sounds like what I'll do gadge seems to be the solution I was looking for kind of opens options up quite a bit then.

Thanks every one for taking the time to answer everything has been very helpful

As far as your fuel coming out of the bleeder hole when you turn the fuel.They have a brass type rivet that holds down a brass flap which controls how far the needle comes out to allow fuel to flow into the carby.You will find that,that brass rivet has come out to far.If you push that rivet back into the the top part of the carby you will find that it will stop flooding the carby with fuel.


Here for a good time,not a long time.

Bit of an update cowl and tank painted when a bit different on the tank decided to paint the middle in green and polish the end caps looks quite smart with the brazing adding a bit of a yellow pin stripe to it photos to follow shortly
