BSA fork dissassemble

Taking apart the BSA forks. These were so gunked and corroded I had to use a stilson to start the undo'ing procedure on the oil seal holders. I tried a method found online with gaffa tape and hose clips, but htat just slid around.
Note the use of a bottom yoke in a workmate to hold the stanction whilst undoing end nut. removing the spring clip is not fun. as is re installing it.

Decision's decisions

Girder or teles, I have girder blades and yokes that need a shed load of bits + a front wheel. On the other hand I have a set of teles with front wheel. But they need to come apart and may need new bits too. Girder = mega cool but mega pricey. Teles = quite cool and fairly affordable. I spose teles for now and do the girder in the meantime. If anyone has any girder links or a girder front wheel let me know cheers. BTW the links in the picture don't fit.

Test fit

Strap the frame together tightly with engine and gearbox to check frame alignment. Turns out the rear axle plates are 1/2" too far apart on one side.

Timing cover tulip

BSA B31/33 M20/21/33 Oil feed quill, always snapped. tricky to remove. Heated case and used pliers and stuff.

Credit crunch paint

Removed the old paint with a wire wheel on a grinder. As much as possible. This will do until I can afford posh wheel job.
