One of my problems is that I don't really want to start something else until I have got the kick start back in the frame. At the moment I have got parts laid out on a sketch to show where they go. Every time I go near the scooter they get disturbed. There aren't too many bits but I don't really want to have to work things out from first principles.
I have been trying to make time to get into the garage otherwise this project is going on for ever. I have managed to make some small progress in a couple of areas.
Firstly the hand grips and brake/clutch leaver bolts have arrived, they look good, I'm still waiting for the steering lock but that's not holding me up at the moment.
Secondly, after Tim ( Manurhin resurrection ) had made a visit to see Gransportscooters, he Emailed me to say that they suggested that I contact Dez at Casalambretta with regard to the kick start shaft and the M5 left handed bolt.
I phoned Dez who was most helpful. We talked about my shaft but he couldn't help me. He knows that there is more than on type of shaft but as far as he knows there is only one type being made. Sounds like either I have one custom made or modify the one Patrick sent me. I will wait for Patricks response next week.
When I got round to asking if he knew where I could get the left handed M5 locking bolt I held my breath. To my surprise and relief he said yes they did have the M5 LH bolts in stock at £5 each plus P&P. A bargain, so I ordered one on the spot. For some reason this bolt has been bugging me, now hopefully I can relax. If another one turns up I will have a spare.
