Slow progress at the moment........ Now the 5/8" off-set drive sprox are done & collected from Talon,

I asked them to make me up a special sprocket adaptor coz I need a total of 28mm off-set for the 190 section tyre fitted on the Dymag.

I need to set the rear wheel sprox in by 12mm, so they will make a plate to fit where the sprox should live and then I can fit an "off-the-shelf" item to the inboard side of that - and voila, sorted :twisted:

Once thats done I'll get some 530 H/D chain and the drive line will be complete :twisted:

All in the c&s effort will be just over Â£200 :??

I've contacted a chap in Yeovil who powder coated my Mk.II SPrinter and he can do me frame, yokes, s/stand & mounting piece for about Â£150, so should get that down to him next week - 7 - 10 day turn-around

I always feared painting; it is challenging, but well worth the effort. I felt soo good after I did my first paint job. Give it a go.

Trouble is (many-fold).... I've got no equipment; :cry:

No spray gun
No compressor
No paint
No room
No talent
No idea

:shock:

Some may recall my attempt on the Mk.II, with "rattle cans" :lol:

'Nuff siad....... :roll:

Cheers for backing me up Mr Bear :!:

So, finally got the sprocket adaptor from TALON yesterday..... to be polished within an inch of its life :wink:

So thats brung it in 12mm - and the drive sprox is out by 5/8" - Jobs a goodun

The adaptor allows fitting of a standard "off-the-shelf" sprox - in this case one for a VRF800 :??
