Haha who said its the small things that make a build

[370steve]

new head bits turned up today, Yoshi bits on way from Japan

[370steve]

Changed my mind about the Brembo SBK discs! contacted WRS and asked if i could send them back and exchange for some "T" drive Pistabassa discs.

they are happy for the exchange, "T" drives now payed for and on order from Brembo

Not heard anything from MGR about my Ohlins, so might give them a buzz to see whats happening on the build front.

looking to drop in to Racefit tomorrow, and deposit my tank with them to get the fillers fitted. might call in to Red6 on the way home for a cuppa and chat

with Mick, rude not too if im passing

[370steve]

called into Racefit this afternoon, put order in for full Legend system, twin tank filler (with fitting, breather welding on, plate under tank welding & pingle adapter fitting)*and a Ti paddock stand.

Jon wanted the tank and offered to buy it off me! told him i wanted it modding, he said i was mad.

well every day is a skool day!!

purchased some pads for the P4 calipers, they are listed for both the P4 and GP4-RR calipers, so i assumed they would be ok for both,

Not so!!

when fitted to the GP4 calipers there is a very large gap between pad faces, no problem with fitting 7mm thick discs (Pistabassa's) but

when fitted to the P4's there was only 4mm between pad faces,* couldn't even fit a worn stock thickness disc,

so did some investigation and found out that Brembo do two different thickness of pads, stock fitment are 10mm+,* the other ones are 8mm thickness,

both to fit the same calipers, so i now know i need the 8mm pads for my P4 calipers.

other problem is the compound, so far i have found 3 types mentioned

1) Z01 race wet

2) Z03 Endurance

3) Z04 race

have sent messages to see what the best compound is for fast street riding, waiting now for an answer.*

managed to pull my finger out and actually do some work on the frame today! (given Yan enough of a head start )

cut and shaped front head stock bracing, made one of the shock mount braces too,

would have done more but i ran out of tube, i will order some more tonight.

[370steve]

Continued stripping the motor last night, got it down to the bottom end, then found i didnt have a clutch holding tool to fit the B12 Mk2 clutch!
that too had to be left on the bench unfinished, so i could get one ordered along with the bar i need for the frame bracing.

[370steve]

Just had word from Mick Gardner Racing that my shock is built, asked for a couple of measurements from me for what

hose length for the pre load adjuster,

Will be getting preload adjuster hose fitted along with spring tomorrow

[370steve]

tube that i ordered turned up yesterday, so i will be able to continue with the frame mounts and bracing
