I'm pleased with the match, though it looks quite different without the rust and acid stains.

Del has also recently done the very nice Oxford livery for Staff's 888 racer.

That's a shame. Build blogs aren't very interesting without photo's.

Presumably the advertising they bombard you with doesn't pay enough for a free service. I'm not paying them $400 though, so we'll have to manage without each other......whatever.

Here's an experiment with Imgur

https://imgur.com/a/sZCOe

And Postimg



I'm cleaning and inspecting parts taken from the '93 to see what can be cleaned, refinished and re-used, and what needs replacement.

I'm also finding plenty of dodgy engineering practise.

These are the spherical bearings at the swing arm end of the suspension wishbone. The one on the left is seized solid. The other one has about 1mm of free play up and down, despite someone's attempt to tighten the bronze lining with several blows from a punch.

New ones shall be ordered.

From Ducati they are: they're about £70 each, but I've ordered a pair from McGills Motorsport for £10 each.

Arrived today. That's pretty impressive service from Kirkcaldy.

f

Slightly deeper than the originals, so I'll check clearance with the swing arm.

Star quality indeed. Would be a good time to fit some ride height risers too, if you've not already, it improves the handling no end.

Back from Raccoon today with a box of goodies. [Yes, your bracket is in there Albie]



The parts are coming together and now I can start putting sub-assemblies together.
