[QUOTE="Phil Mahood, post: 102521, member: 71"] I am glad to see you provided this diagram from Francois' documents. I was afraid you were trying to do this without the instructions. Step #2 in the instructions cover this topic thoroughly. It says G22 must be reduced by .020". It also says to double check it on the bike. Like almost everything in this installation, the work has to be double checked (cut and try) due to variations in the castings, and parts. Step 2 also says that pressing G22 between 2 steel plates is the preferred method. I used my hydraulic press. When done the outer edge curled over and the centre dished itself up under the stress. I just tapped it down flat with a hammer. Frankly, it makes absolutely no difference how you do it. This is simply not a precision thing. I am also glad you have a Dremel. That tool may be the most useful weapon in a Vincent owner's arsenal. With the appropriate bits, it will bail you out of every sort of jam. Cheers, Phil [/QUOTE]
