[QUOTE="dagriise@online.no, post: 29427, member: 437"] Bruce Metcalf hit the nail spot on!!! "A lump of aluminium, suitable to make a Vincent part from." I have (almost) buildt a new engine from parts, and trust me NONE of the cast parts fitted togheter, or against adjacent mechanics with out serious reworking! (I wont go into details, as the list is long!) This has ment grinding, milling, reaming and turning.... I find it very anoying that every time the you think you are done, something else pops up! In my book one should be able to buy a part, and fit it, with out all this "redoing" beeing nescesary! (i upgraded to a new Commando crank case some years back, and everything fitted perfect...) All in al i think the Vincent community has to do some "cleaning up", when it comes to manufacture of new parts. (knowing these kind of problems have been adressed before...)
