Hi all, As I mentioned in a previous post I have just purchased a '51 Comet, the bike appears to be just about complete (if not original) have found a few parts missing (so far)and have ordered those, I do however have one question to start with:
If I tighten up the nuts holding the footrest hangers on to the footrest spacers, the inside end of the shaft that the left hand foot rest rubber is mounted on makes contact with the clutch/primary chain housing. The left hand foot rest spacer (with the tapered end) is stainless and obviously not original so....to the question, I noticed in the spares list that the LH and RH spacers are different numbers so I assume they are different, can anyone tell me the overall length of the LH spacer? (I think mine is too short?)
Regards
Kevin
