[QUOTE="Pushrod Twin, post: 58949, member: 340"] Just discovered your post, nice. There is plenty of great ideas here but I think a lot of these guys may have missed the point of your question. You have participated in my my thread, I think we are on the same page regarding inspections. Now that the engine gearbox hook up is complete, here is how I am working through the rest of my engine inspection & build, & would apply to the rest of the bike if I had a whole Vincent; I guess you have procured a copy of the Club's Alternative Spares List? Modularise your bike using the parts book pages as we did with aircraft engines. I have photocopied the text pages, ruled a couple of vertical lines down near the quantities column & note whether the parts are "S", serviceable, "R", repairable, or "J" junk, require replacement.Serviceable parts get bagged, tagged & shelved, junk parts go on a list of purchases & I have a record of what I have inspected & what is ready for assembly. If I had a whole bike I would build sub-assemblies, I guess I already have, wheels, forks etc, then bring it all together for the final build. There is some overlap with parts appearing on more than one page, its easy to make note on the copied pages if you have already covered those parts. Some of the pages dont appear as logical as we might think they should/could be, but I stick with them regardless.:) R [/QUOTE]
