I bought the fixings from ABBA,just measure the diameter of the bolt head/nut either end of the swing arm pivot and they will supply the correct size fitting

Well done Weaver, very thorough gonna be a lovely bike. I remember when it was for sale. Havn't looked at the project section for ages. Def been missing a few nice bikes.

Balanced the carbs the other day and checked with a colourtune,looks fine,made a start sorting the front brakes and finished sorting the footpegs.
I am looking forward to riding it now,shouldnt be too long..

the bikes taxed and mot'd now,and perfect weather for a 50 mile blast,sounded glorious thru the local underpass I must say,need to find the money for the respray now.
