Modified top idler.

I have a few top idlers about and the rubber on and in them has gone very hard and is breaking up which is probably also happening inside the motor as well, the previous owner replaced the ones in the lower end around ten years ago but not the top, Zed1015 made some a few years ago, so i thought i would have a go myself, so today i deconstructed an old one and made up a brass ring to go where the rubber went, i am happy with the result even though it's around 15 grams heavier, will put it in during the winter if i have not made a lighter one by then.

One less roast spud at christmas dinner Kev and your back even weight wise. Good work by the way!

Crikey Warren i will disappear if i eat any less, i am 5 stone lighter, or 70lbs for those across the pond ,than when i last see you.

Blimey, you weren't mr lardy last time I saw you. Do you have to cancel rides on windy days now?

Have to strap myself down when out now:laugh:

You could just do some engine mods to get better performance you know.

I like to open the engine up once every 40 years or so...to marvel at how well built they were! :laugh:
