Seat Box Fun

[ivancrx]

Well you have got to love these things.

Took the battery out today as I was aware of a small hole that needed looking at, grinder out and 5 minutes later I am left with this hole.





I decided to do it the east way and remove the whole seat box for better access. At least it is smiling at me.




I am very surprised at how easy it came apart and have been left with a flintstone car.






Now while I have it stripped down this far I intend replacing the clutch and rear crankshaft oil seal as it leaks a lot. Is there anything else worth looking at while I have it stripped this far?

perfect time for oil change on both boxes

While apart:
HD clutch fork.
Spigot bush in the crank.

Optional:
New slave cylinder (or at least a fluid change)

You can buy genuine battery-boxes that have been galvanised which are a direct replacement for yours, when I was pricing one up they were slightly cheaper than YRM.

You might have to ring them to get the current price.

That is a great link think you

It indeed makes sense for the oil changes, well reminded James.

Do the HD clutch fork make a great deal of difference? I will have to search.The slave cylinder looks fairly new on it, but I think it will be wise to change all the fluids.

HD clutch fork is a preventative maintenance change. Standard ones can wear through where they attach to the pivot ball and is a known failure point. HD ones are braced to prevent it happening. Last thing you want is a fork failure after putting it all back together as its a box out job to change it. If once you get it apart you find there is a HD one already fitted (from a previous clutch change) then you should be fine.

That is great thank you, for what the cost is I will just get one and replace it anyway, don't want to be faffing around on a Saturday morning trying to get one.

You could check the H/B shoes and if need be adjust the H/B and while you are at it adjust or replace the gear linkage mecanism if yours is a bit sloppy
