[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 115805, member: 3287"] My Triton project was with a Manx rolling chassis but front conical hub had so much electrolysis action from the cast iron insert that it exploded, so the rear I swapped for a normal Noton wheel. Magnesium brake plates I've just removed from my Lightningised Rapide done in 1953 by Clifford Brown for my deceased mate Robert Fabian who had his first Vincent stolen, has all been stripped vapour blasted and haven't replaced anything other than rings, excentric shims, RFM pivot shims, no feeling of Brinnelling, but not progressed for 3 years too many other jobs in keeping the "B" going and electric start fitted with a quick strip for main bearing renewal and so it goes on, with a massive deviation in purchasing a 1919 "V" twin JAP engined Sunbeam with original chair. Does anyone know what the fully advanced position of the mag should be ?? Side valve engine. Anyway, keep the project going, it's nice to read someone is productive! [/QUOTE]
