Does this go here?

Too long since disassembly, so long to any recollection of how it came apart. I pored over the scant photos I’d taken, poured another beer and made some poor guesses. The rear seal, still unattended on the Le Mans, was replaced, twice, once by eye and once with the correct tool (not I).

The flywheel and new clutch were a cinch as they come pre-assembled. I restored the regulator to its intended location after some considerable head scratching and built a bracket to hold two Dyna coils that I had previously intended for the Le Mans. They came into play because a previous spanner-man had overtightened the clamps and crushed the originals, and also they are considered by some (never ask the internet) an upgrade.

Some bad choices were made (#3 on my epitaph list) with regard to routing the wiring loom. I initially elected to take the low road and avoid the area where the petrol tank fits, bad move, early test runs were cut short following any full left locks which, without the benefit of adequate slack, immediately pulled the plug out cutting all circuits. Relocation involved de-pinning the 15 wires and threading through the frame hole, presumably there for this very purpose.

I discovered that the lower frame rail and cam chain casing had been butchered, probably when the previous cowboy had found it necessary to free a seized front engine bolt (they are notorious for corroding in). Short of time and patience, I fabricated a semi-circular spacer the width of a hacksaw blade to spread the load. Needs must.
