Amazing what a bit of sunshine and a reasonably positive set of test results can do !
Health issue is now stabilised at stage 3 – the big test comes in July, when the specialists will be able to tell with some certainty if the drop in function is likely to progress to the next level or continue to stabilise.
In the meantime I’ve decided to carry on with the KZ project for as long as good health will allow.
Yesterday the fork legs and top caps went off to the machine shop – my guy wasn’t there, but his mate said he couldn’t see any problems. If he can’t re-machine the new [ smaller ] thread onto the caps, then he’ll look at making up some new ones.
Although they actually retain the springs, The only other function is as an oil seal retainer.
That just leaves a major clear up in the man cave and sort out all the scattered parts for a final push to get the chassis into a rolling stage.
I’m off to Saxony for a chill break and re-charge the batteries beginning of June – but I intend to have a real blitz when I get back.
These are the old caps – it’s a wonder they didn’t just fly off with the spring pressure !!
