    Suprize,

    Who are you using for the hard chroming and how much were you quoted?

    My mate has a DT360 he is restoring and the forks need doing.

    snuck the allen head screws out with some assistance of a "lever". found a small washer on the kick shaft fell off, then the clutch "bearing" dropped a ball into the box :eek: but I saved it with a maggy screwdriver:cheers: 20170702_174422.jpg 20170702_175635.jpg 20170702_180201.jpg . Really neat clutch actuator.

    well ...the cases are split and the news is not good:( the old top half of the gears that were out of the oil are pitted and corroded trick which is unfortunate. 3rd and 4th have deepish pits through the hard facing and the main shaft gear is also pooh. the shifting dogs are worn (go on?) and the gear dogs are rounded badly. the main bearings are crunchy but the rod and big end are good:rolleyes: TC. so the hunt for bits begins...ill get some pics up shortly...

    got a mate who is a gear cutter etc so he his happy to have a look. hoping he can sort the gears and the dogs out ok. just need the main clutch shaft or get that gear repaired as well.

    some things to do.

    just picked up some work in the mountains on an old gold mine so backburner for all this "stuff". At least I'll make some "coin" to pay for stuff
