Thanks alot for the advice there guys.And exciterfan,the skid was stripped down,repainted parts,changed bearings and seals,tightened everything up better then stock and re-inforced that w-arm good.Got the 7.5 wheels to get mounted properly .Got 3 circlips today locally,still need 1 more,but can now assemble everything on skid,get driveshaft in,the track and line everything up.When I get another circlip ,it will be for the outside rear wheel,which I can just slide off the end and install it.Once this is all complete which will be in the next couple of days,I will start to tear the front end and re -build and get them Simmon's ski's on.May paint the trailing arms blue like on my SXR.Got lots of time till winter,but will do things right first time.Then it will be the carbs and clutching after that.Later dude.Hot out there for you Len.40C. with humidity.My garage is insulated and is a comfortable 22 C. in there...just perfect to work.I am on 1 weeks holidays also.
