Current status is that we are hours away from first start. My biggest concern is that the primary case doesn't leak like it should, so something critical is bound to go wrong instead (following Murphy). Aligning the primary chain was not difficult, but the taperlock does not fully clamp the axle. Also the sprocket will shift slightly when you attempt to tighten the nuts.
The clutch seems to work fine, the gears shift, but I forgot to add a 1/4" ball inbetween the rods. I've also been advised to cut the long rod into 2 pieces and add yet another ball, to reduce flex/bending, which should make the clutch operate more smoothly. Unfortunately there are still several issues, mainly with the front wheel. It seems out of center after having it repsoked with SS spokes. Another slight issue is that the front brake doesn't function
Front and rear suspension should be scrutinized before it will be roadworthy as well.I treated myself to a tin of putoline wax, a mixture of wax and graphite (possibly other stuff). The chain looked pretty nasty, but rinsing it with diesel twice and boiling it in the wax really seems to have helped. The gearbox isn't oiltight yet, but I've ordered new bearings and Anorak_ian is patiently explaining how to treat an Enfield gearbox, by replacing several culprits with post-2001 components.
Well, it is time for some pics. Cosmetic upgrades will have to wait until I receive roadworthiness approval of Dutch authorities.
