Thanks Steve, good to know. I already got these from eBay which should be fine for both sides, but I’m also going to have a good look at your suggestion also

35X47X7 Pack of 5 OILSEALS, Metric Shaft Oil Seal 35mm ID x 47mm OD x 7mm wide

Many thanks Mickey

Evening all All my parts guide/blue book says is 35mm. I’m sure they’re 35-47 but there seems to be either 7 or 10 as the final number (height). Can anyone confirm the correct ones before I order? Mdina seem to have 3 possibles, including Pantah ones. I also understand you need 2 per side. I’ve only...

‘Some are cheap and some are extortionate’ Here lies the evil of the online seller. Worked in the trade most of my life and it’s been well known for over a decade now that the fakers are focussing on the more trusted brands, especially NGK, DID, Akropovic etc. Very hard to tell, except when you get ...

Thanks for all the replies, I’m going to spend a day clocking both ‘tanks’ but as always, a great deal of relevant info, thanks

Hello everyone, here's another borderline dumb musing as I DON'T go for a ride today due to tropical temperatures coupled with gale force wind gusts and heavy showers that appear and disappear without warning. I was helped muchly when i was advised that my initial running of both fuel taps was only ...

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...

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

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

After the informative post I started over last weekend I’ve now established this set of Galfers I paid good money for from Spain aren’t for my Strada-see key below. So, £15 including post.. The sizes are as follows The homolgation A/1 etc define the brake dimensions for Standard machines. Rear drum ...

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!!

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

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

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 ...

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
