Hello all,
I am re-assembling my B Rapide and the FT33 through the RFM pivot seems too long as the nuts on the outside of FT106 and FT108 are nearly down to the end of the thread. There's about 3/8" spare thread stcking out after the nut on the left and nearly 1/2" on the right.
The length over the footrest support plates is 10 and 1/8" and the FT33 I have is 12" long.
The bike previously had a chair on it, so could my Dad have fitted a longer FT33 (I notice there's a different one listed for the Series D) to attach the lower rear sidecar mount?
I can't find another FT33 in the spares pile, and it seems unlike my Dad to have thrown it away, given all the broken bits he seems to have kept!
Cheers,
Ed.
