Girdraulic Problem

[A-BCD]

The best solution is to reverse the cylinder head bracket......( a friend once bought a Comet just like that, wondered why it didn't handle so well as expected !! )

A-BCD. Serious question here, now that April 1st has passed,did your friend solve the handling problem by reversing the cylinder head bracket ?

Absolutely - we found that the previous idiot owner had put it on the wrong way round, so had filed the UFM a bit and forced it into place somehow !! So the wheels were about 1 1/2" out of line. When we removed the tank and put things right, it handled like a dream !!

A-BCD, I'm Very interested in this, which way does the cylinder head bracket FT3 fit,looking down on the engine does the bigger offset of the head bracket face to the right or left ? on works drawing MO30 the larger offset faces to the left but this is for a twin is this the same for a single.

I'm fairly sure that on a Comet, the wider flange is on the timing side - but never having owned a single, better check with a Comet owner !!

Here`s how you remember it.
If you`re not right at the front, you`re left at the back.
That applies to twins.
#The Comet is the opposite, for the front, it should be to the left.

Just to make that statement clear. I`m referring to the hump, not the flange width.
