- We will get that rear wheel in - WE WILL! Possibly. However, not before we choose as many things as possible to distract us, including the Carbs. Continuing with assembly of the rear end. This is definitely Part 16 despite what the video title and end screen might say - I wasn't even drinking when editing.

The filter is originally for a BSA B25/B50, part number 19-4589 or 99-1179. They cost less than a tenner. I fitted that conversion to my 78 T140V about 25 years ago, but I modified mine with a longer stud, to take 2 filters, stacked. This doubles the surface area and ensures you have a free oil flow. A small extra price to pay for peace of mind.
It's a bit late to tell you now, but the bolts holding the master cylinder go through from the right hand side, before you bolt the plate on, because the heads take up less room than the nut end.
The big washer on the wheel spindle should go against the speedo drive, then the caliper bracket on the inside of the swinging arm. This moves the caliper and the wheel inboard by a similar amount, so the disc/caliper alignment will still be right, but you will have to turn your torque stay back the way you had it, which you had right before. Importantly, the spindle goes in from the left, which makes it a bit of a fiddly bugger holding it all in place as you feed it through the speedo drive, etc, and you will have to pull it back again to drop the caliper down so you can bleed it, when the time comes, but at least you don't have to take it right out, which you would, fitting it from the right. Mine was as it left the factory when I bought it, so I am 100% confident it is right.
PS. Don't fit the exhaust before bleeding the rear brake, because you will have to pull the spindle partly out, which means removing the LH silencer.
Thanks Rick you’re a star - makes sense - I’ll look into this next week. I thought that the Charlie’s filter is bigger than a standard B25SS but it’s easy enough to check. Thanks again.
Charlie's Motorcycles was in Bristol. Closed about 5 years ago.
I think that the Charlie’s filter originated in the US. Thanks for the interest and comment Rick.
@@BSAPowerSet I was at Charlie's in Bristol about 25 years ago, after something else, and the mechanic there showed me the filter conversion kit. He said he had them machined by a local engineering firm, so if he was telling the truth, they originated there. As a car mechanic, I liked the idea of a proper, paper filter, so I bought one.
Oh then I’m probably wrong. I did find quite a bit of information on the origins some time ago but can’t find it now. Thanks guys.
Carbs screws are 2 ba,i have new screws and taps and dies if required..
Thank you Matt - you’re on standby - as always.
Keep the Charlie's filter and use a multi grade that contains phosphorus (Morris super V twin), keeps the engine cleaner. Get a new filter off E bay.
Cheers Segsy thanks for the interest, comment and suggestion. Yes I was going to keep the Charlie’s anyway as I believe the original oil pickup has to be cut off to fit one so there’s no going back to original.
Lots of content on the channel right now ! 😀
Morning Stew. Yes indeed. I’ve got a lot more verve for life now I’m on different treatment for a joint condition. I was in a dark place for the first three to four months of this year due to drugs and having a form of long Covid having contracted it over Christmas. All much better now physically and mentally. There will be a short break now before shenanigans resume in a week or so. We gotta get the Triumph interloper out of the way.
Prevarication or is it procrastination , tut tut paul .😅
Sorry , Angus 😂 getting mixed up with Paul henshaw .
No problem and indeed tut tut to Paul whatever he did but whom I follow myself occasionally. Thanks for the interest in this channel too.
Hi Angus, I need to clean my carbs on my Bonneville , I need one of those ultrasonic cleaners like you have. There seem to be loads of sizes and prices. What minimum size do you think I will need to fit 1 or both carbs in to clean them? It seems to be a bit of a minefield on what to get.
Hi Dave thanks for the interest and comment. My cleaner is 30 litres so it’s big because I wanted it to hold a crankcase half or cylinder head. For carbs you don’t anything anywhere near this size. I would have thought one with a 2 litre volume would more than do the job with some space to spare but do the research re technical specs and sizes and whether you want to do two carbs at once or one and it might also depend upon your budget.
@@BSAPowerSet Thanks Angus, I guess the biggest bits will be the carb bodies, I will do some more reseach on 2 litre sized ones.
@@daverees9344 Yes get the physical sizes of the bath, not just the volume 👍.
