Are they alloy nuts welded on? they look like steel from the weld & i reckon they will snap off Geoff.

Steel nuts Mez & it's a S10 bottom yoke so it's steel too.... had to weld 'em on to mount the headlamp & fairing on...

Re: Geoff's 1VJ Tenere rebuild ...
Another starter motor done (my 4th... 
).... anyone who wants to see how it's done... or the cable tie trick will need to check out my or Mezo's 3AJ rebuild threads...
Anyone come across this before?... I've stripped two starters & found these broken... bit of a pain in the arse ... especially the one on the right which was an almost brand new starter....
On the bike
notice the clutch cable... my super bargain brand new cable which I bought off Itchywheels on eBay... it doesn't fit 
it's either the wrong one, or, it's a cheap copy....

Re: Geoff's 1VJ Tenere rebuild ...
Usually soap & water on the rubber bits & wire brush the ends & paint them... the oil pipes & the oil cooler that are going on this bike were already very clean & just needed a polish.... They were supplied by Olli...( Fred333 ).... cheers Oliijibber wrote:How do you refinish the oil hoses Geoff?

Re: Geoff's 1VJ Tenere rebuild ...
Again a nice rebuild! :) Makes me want to pull my 3AJ apart ;)
Is there a reason you want the 3TB carbs? Are they better?GeoffD wrote:Oh & I'm desperate for a set of carbs... preferably 3TB... anyone got some they want to sell....
