| Good luck, I'm sure it will be fine if your MOT place is sympathetic to older bikes! | |

| Phil, I had a 3.00 18 tyre changed on the front for a 2.75 18, because the mudguard between the forks trapped it. The 2.75 18 seems alright. I think a 3.00 18 Dunlop will be alright at the back, once the bottom bit of the mudguard is opened up a bit. Is the chainguard further inwards than the mudguard? I have yet to fit my chainguard. Really don't want to change that new tyre for a 2.75 | |

| Phil, I may give up on the D14/4, I have now put the gearbox together a few times, but it does not change gear properly when tested. I must have the wrong selector or camplate, I have got the factory manual and have set the selector quadrant up correctly. Just getting depressed with the amount of wasted time it is taking. | |

| No, the crank, new seals and bearings are fine, the crankcases go together fine, but when I test the gearbox it changes gear but looks like its always in the same one. I'm going to see a friend (Arthur good of Kent Daytona's) to get a second opinion, before getting rid. Happy Birthday young man. | |

| Update I did have the wrong top gear (one from a 3 speeder), I went to T&G's in Milton Keynes, (Bantam engine bottom end fits under the Tmax seat), I now have all gears correct until the final nip up of all the engine screws, then the mainshaft starts tightening up. Something to sort out tomorrow. | |

| Engine is in frame and nearly ready to fire up, wiring just needs testing out, most of that is new, so nearly ready for the maiden ride. I was always going to build a lightweight special, (something I can lift into the Berlingo), does anyone know of an early rigid frame D1 trials donor bike laying around anywhere, of course willing to pay reasonable money for it. I will be using the D14 engine to power it. My friends D10 is nearly ready for the MOT, so I can give him that back, we are going to ride them from London to Brighton for a good cause soon. | |
