Nick, I will need to re-check, it may only have been the LHS,but there was quite a bit of forward and backward movement in that one. When I realised the chain was both too tight and in need of a spray, I reset both adjusters 4 sixths (4 flats) slacker as a starting guess BEFORE I slackened the wheel nuts.
When I reassembled everything, tightening the LHS was progressive, rather than take up slack then tighten normally. When fully tight, I realised the LHS of the wheel had pulled over, a good 6mm or more compared with the RHS. This was all movement of the spindle in the right angle piece.. Not satisfactory. I could weld up the hole and re-bore to correct size, but I think it better to overbore and make a nut to fix the lot in one go. The RHS MAY be OK. Before I do anything, I will measure the ovality.
Yesterday, I removed the "bash plate", and I will fit a longer high tensile Allan bolt with a bobbin which will allow me to raise the front, the way I do on the Alazzurra and so remove the front wheel. If that works OK, there will be no need to but a head stock stand, none of which are cheap like rear paddock stands. New battery will be here later in the week, then maybe I can fire it up and try it out.
Les.
