And still, I remain confused...

I was helped muchly when i was advised that my initial running of both fuel taps was only ...

Re: Rear Brake Shoes

Got mine back and, they’d lined them too much! They were very surprised as they were ‘certain’ of the supposedly stock thickness but-to quote their own technical explanation-‘three passes on the skimmer and they’re bang on’. Glad I did as now I see them at their optimum, they were well worn, and gla...

Re: Rear Brake Shoes

Dropped mine in the liners today, he said there was a decent amount meat on them but they were pretty glazed, so for £25 I’m happy-I’ve no idea if that’s cheap or dear but it’s part of the health check IMO

Re: Rear Brake Shoes

Thanks Martha and that’s made my mind up, I’m going for relining as at least I know it works fine at present, appreciate the info, hassle you could’ve done without :roll:

Re: Rear Brake Shoes

So the EBC 921 is 160 x 30 and doesn’t fit any cast wheel 350s according to Mark’s-well, everyone’s!- contribution. That’s why this brand new set of Galfer shoes I’ve had in their box for the past year won’t fit my 1980 350! I’ll list them on but/sell. Best start looking for the 180 x 35s!!

Re: Rear Brake Shoes

Thanks for the confirmation Mickey (and fastmongrel), I did put ‘mag’ wheels in the OP but that might not be the best word to describe them. Still, the community comes up trumps for me as usual, thanks 🙏

Re: Rear Brake Shoes

Many thanks I’ll take a look. Does anyone know if there’s an EBC equivalent number as my ace local dealer stocks piles but can’t confirm if he’s got any without a number :D

Rear Brake Shoes

Good morning all! My rear brake (1980 mag wheel Strada) seems ok but, somewhat spooked by the ATG stories I’m looking to overhaul/check it out. Is relining the way forward or are replacements shoes still available and if so does anyone know the numbers? I got a set of Galfers off flea bay for stock ...

Re: Fly Screen

I’ve ordered that Puig one as fitted to the Yam, I also reckon if Daddy Dom thinks it’s exactly the job, well that’s good enough for me! Be 2-3 weeks as none in the country at present but I’ll report back when it materialises 👍

Maybe so Dom but it was nice to strap on some from another Morini supplied by a member, gives me a sort of warm feeling.. :)

Re: Fly Screen

Thanks very much for these I’ll certainly look into this. Was going onto Puig screens next as their range is so big. A light tint would be nice but I’ll not get too excited just yet…😉

Re: Strada Headlamp bracket straps

Good to know and there’s a bit left so I’ll try that, can’t beat the old roller cola dip though for getting the thick crud off for starters :lol:
