Yet another little update.
The wires were secured by a metal strap:
For the wire connectors I harvested an old Indian (from India) 6V harness. This is at the moment the only source I know to get the old style bullet connectors with affordable effort:
The wire was then routed through the housing and secured by a twin conical slotted grommet:
When the counter piece is screwed down, the grommets are pressed in the conical seat and both fix and seal the wires/cables:
The breather pipe was taken from the Interceptor and, as it had some scratches, got some silver paint. I admit, compared to the rest this seems a little halfhearted, but it's not recognizable (compare the crank case pipe directly above) and most places won't offer matt chrome. As the pipe is copper and the fitting brass, there won't be any rust and the paint only disguises the scraped chrome.
Then I secured the clutch cable using a split pin, and closed the primary case along with a new ruber seal:
The drain plug was heavily damaged and worn. Unfortunately these aren't available new. These are brass bolts, 3/8 BSF. I restored it as good as possible and it almost looks like new:
And just a somewhat ridiculous, but not unimportant detail, that bothered me for a long time now: The light switch!
This thing is simply set in place with a rubber grommet, at least that's the theory. It just wouldn't go in! I assume the rubber was too thick. I ended up with a pice of seat upholstery leather, wrapped around the switch and it fits!
Now I wait for the mudguards to be ready and in the meantime I'll take care of the chain guard and the battery case.
So long,
Andreas
