I was fortunate enough to recently acquire my first Vincent, a 1952 Series C Touring Rapide basket case, and I have now started on the journey to bring this wonderful machine back to life. So this is the first of which I expect will be many, many questions coming from me on how to do things.
For some reason at some point someone has removed the seat stays from the RFM (it's been off the road since 1964, so God only knows why someone would have done it or how they would be supporting whatever it was they were sitting on). In any case, I've fabricated some new stays and now I'm trying to determain the exact location to weld them back to the RFM. Can anyone give me some advice on the best way to determine the measurement of the location?
Cheers!
