Hi David, i might just have what you're looking for. I think i have one in a box in my garage somewhere. I'll try and dig it out over the weekend and give you a ring if i find it.

Hi ya, i've recently discovered Stag Wellseal, which did a fantastic job of sealing the filter housing on my always leaking air-cooled camper and most guys in the VW camper world swear by it. One big advantage it has over silicone or hylomar type sealants is it can be applied very accurately with a ...

Firstly thank you for replys about conrods, but while we are now all talking crankshafts here is another query for people to ponder (sorry i've hijacked this post back!). I'm planning to build my ultimate 350 and have both an early crankshaft and a later type (from a X2) - does anyone have any thoug...

Hello,

does anyone know if you can retro fit the better conrods from a plain bearing crank onto the early double roller bearing type crankshaft?

Thanks for your help, Tony

Hi everyone, does anyone out there have an old standard rear brake pedal from a 350. I'm not bothered what condition its in, as all i'm after is the section where it bolts to the frame and the cable connects to, so if its bent or rusty i'm not to concerned.

Many thanks, Tony

Evening everyone, i nice easy question for a tuesday evening. What are the recommended tyre pressures for a 350? Currently running BT45, and i can remember Alex once telling me i should run them higher than the manual suggests but cannot remember exactly what he said! Any advice anyone? Many thanks,...

Hi there, i've found them!! here are the photos, are they the ones you were after??[attachment=0]DSC01086.JPG[/attachment][attachment=1]DSC01085.JPG[/attachment]

Hello there, yes i'm sure i do somewhere, i'll have a dig around in garage for you. If my memory serves me correctly mine were a copy so they don't have the circular "moto Morini" bit, but they might help you?

Cheers, Tony

Hello everyone, this may sound a daft question but how are you timing your rear cylinders with a strobe? My early 350 only has a timing mark for the front cylinder, do later ones have two marks? or am i missing something obvious here?

Many thanks, Tony

Hello everyone. My question is about batteries and charging them. I have an early 350 with a 100w generator, my question I’m sure will be a simple one but does the size of battery fitted have any bearing on how much power it takes to charge it? I.e. if I fit a smaller battery will it give the gene...

Thank you very much for advice and prompt response. Tony

Hi Paul (or anyone else for that matter), i know this thread was a long time ago but i'm about to rebuild my early 350 and wondered where i would get the Roller Bearing Conversion you mentioned from? Is it the one offered by NLM?

Many thanks, Tony

Hi Jem, you don't have any contact details for Thersby do you? As i have not heard anything from them?

Thanks

Hi Nick, only me. Silly question, but where are you getting leaks from? the crankcases or still from the clutch cover?

But glad to hear that bike is up and running.

Cheers, Tony
