Amp B2 - Separating rear triangle from the front? advise?

[northerndave]

Here's a little update. I've been searching round for replacement bolts and went into an amazing place near where I work. 2 guys run a this place that's literally full of every little bit of hardware you can imagine. Gave them a 5mm bit of hacked off bolt and 5 mins later they come back and say it's BA 2. And hand me 2 replacement bolts that have just screwed straight in not problem..

So that's for the earlier B2 linkage with the little dome head bolt screwing into the drum shaped pivot.

You've just got to love the sort of place where they've got BA bolts, even better where they'll sell you just two :shock:

Definitely a shop to treasure...

All the best,

Any chance you could mail me a couple?
2 screws in an envelope and a note saying "Consider yourself Screwed"

or one with "your nuts" on it..

ps we westgate fastenings just down the road from me...and next to them are some specialist bearing suppliers too....

well finally the horst link was separated, old bolts drilled out and ever so slightly larger threads cut in so I can now use a standard 5mm allen bolt.

Front triangle is stripped and is currently being prepped for paint work.

Next step is stripping the anodizing of the legs of my F4 BLT forks and prep them for paint.

Decals are ready to be printed on vinyl so it looks like my project is finally getting to the fun stage.

Will post a step by step thread with the build.
