And what was the finish of those straps: cadmium-plated, black paint?

Hi Hans, the 1940 spare parts list for contract C6126 says they were cadmium plated. Rob.

Hi Barry,
I have a long and a short, NOS, spare. I think you needone of each - if it's for one bike, if you need one long I have a spare... I bought a pair of each, but only need one each.

Barry, the magdyno straps are totally different. I bought my stainless pair from "BARLEYCORN" here in UK.
Also they must be fitted before the crankcase half's go together. Ron

Hi John..I have made a jig for setting up the casing to remachine the oil seal recess..I then fit an aluminium ring to restore it to original size. The only problem is the engine needs to be completely stripped for the work to be done, so it is a job for 'rebuild' time. Mail me if you want it done....Ian

Hi Ian

It's on the cards, but first I have to obtain another set of good wd crankcases to fit my new M21 bottom end into

I'll rebuild the "new" motor first but would like that mod done to that too

I"ll talk about that soon with you as France 2012 should be my target

Best regards

Job

John. As far as I know there was no welding done to the crankcase. I think that's how they left the factory? I bought those cases from Henk and they are near perfect.
Here are my previous cases with an appropriate REME workshop repair. Ron

There's no way i would split cases again if i forgot the strap. Try a couple of half width nuts to lock up stud and unscrew. Failing that just sacrifice and mig nut onto stud and undo! I would think using a bolt instead of a stud would be good enough, but only that one.

I have the sad feeling that hardly anybody sees the wealth of information on the Technical Info part of the website

looking at that REME repair i was wondering is the outer diameter of the brass disc which just only fit the outer edge of the timing case in 2 places in this way it locates the hole in the correct place maybe this outer diameter of the brass disc could be used as a jig
