Re: H18-49 Stanchion adaptor

Thank you. As far as I can measure, the external thread appears to be 1 1/16" x 20 tpi - Can that be right..?

Telescopic fork headlamp shroud anti-rattle rubber washer H51-51

Re: My Model B's Valve Timing

While I'm in there - There is a hole in my inner timing gear cover just beneath and in front of the oil pump. It appears that a previous owner has plugged this with a piece of wooden dowel...
