Advice appreciated, intake valve on number 2 cylinder stuck open

And your type 3 tin, to keep your barrels cooler…

 

Hi Snotty..... I can't see any suppliers in the UK for these? Where did you get yours from?

 

I don’t think there are any suppliers in the UK. CSP list them but are out of stock.

 

AFAIK it's either a pre-loved one (you'd be lucky) or Awsome Powdercoat in the US of A.

 

I resorted to Ebay - around £25 + post.
Make sure you get a complete 'L' shaped one as there's plenty of broken ones out there , they break across the corner very easily if someone gets a bit cack-handed...

Velocity ring.

 

Limebug, I think, but does seem noone does them in the UK anymore :-(. Awesome Powdercoat in the US do seem to be the only ones.

 

No! Stop asking the bloke down the pub.

 

Some folk are lucky enough to have a real one, a shroud with the ring already in place. Believe @scrooge95 has one, possibly @paradox .

 

I picked one up a couple of years ago - you guessed it - Ebay...
Sellers often list them as you would a normal fan housing but looking at the pictures you can spot one almost immediately...

EDIT... couldn't find one at the moment although there is a guy selling the repro 'L' pieces - search for VW tinware and you should find it

Did Alex chop it off and weld it to your "new" shroud?

 

Right folks, I know I've been working at a snails pace anyway but things are gonna get even slower for a bit.....
In my usual fashion of making jobs for myself, I've now trashed my bike on the way back from working on the bus at my lads, courtesy of some idiot who pulled out on me in order to save 10secs on his journey home

Luckily crash bungs saved massive damage but unfortunately I'm gonna be out of action for a while, probably til after Christmas ...... 5 broken ribs, a broken collar bone and a punctured lung. Could have been much worse.

 

Get well soon

 

Bloody hell.

Get well soon

 

I think I might be getting too old for this biker lark with the idiots on the roads nowadays.

Thanks for everyone's help so far, I'll start a new thread in the new year to continue bus saga with more daft questions.

Just one more question for now tho ...... If it's gonna be a few weeks til I get my rebuilt engine in and running, do I need to do anything to make sure it's ok when I do?

 

I got taken out when riding my FJR1300 in London a couple of years ago. T bones the car that pulled across in front of me and I landed about 50ft down the road. Ligament and tendon damage to the right leg which I'm still suffering with.

 

Blimey, that doesn't look good Get well soon!
