This looks good !

They slayed it ! The original was 6mins 7 seconds and theirs was 6mins 15 seconds. Machine Head was a perfect LP. i bought the 8-track . I hope everyone is that old ? Hush was the first song I heard from them fully equipped w/the wolf howl at the intro. Then I will never understand how they took a polite song from Neil Diamond and ELECTRIFIED it w/100,000 v ! KENTUCKY WOMAN . Back to this group , it is incredible to see kids that age play with all their heart and play every note as though it is their last time on the planet Earth .

Please include a little more information

You said you did not check this when it came back from the service center? We have no way to know if it was tight or not? Get it about as snug as you would reseal a 2 liter soda. Put a dob of yellow paint pencil on it and run it a while and see what happens. I can't see what the hose clamp is doing so I can't comment on it.

No , it doesn't look cool. It looks righteous !

was that car that righteous ?

Get in your time machine and go back to the moment you started disassembly and take pics as you tore it down and place all hardware in a bucket , box or something. When /as you are going back together , replace all rubber parts with new 1/2" high pressure fuel injection fuel hose . For now scroll through pics on this forum and see how things are places and routed. To the best of my knowledge , the fuel hose goes from the tank , to the pump , to the fuel filter and then to the fuel injectors. The fuel pump usually takes the fuel and pushes it through the filter , then to the fuel rail. That is how it does in your car. Are you asking?s about the wiring going to the fuel pump ? The clamp , you need to find it and Sherlock Holmes where it was and where it goes.

I had a 70 mustang, grabber blue , 351c , 4-speed , white interior. Yes , it was perfect. Same powerplant as the Cougar. 11.3/1 compression meant no Jiffy Mart gasoline.

I think I would get it apart and the go to ordering stuff . BTW , can you post a pic of the head . Pete , or anyone else , are these cylinder heads prone to doing this ?

No , these are not worth inspection , RELPLACE the bolts on both ends .

The pivot pin I have measures 17mm loose on the pivot . 20mm on the threaded portion and the hex nut is 30mm on the nut size . I used wrench openings to measure the sizes . My hillbilly micrometers . The long bolts I hid from myself .

I have some spare stuff . Give me some dimensions . There are two different sizes of the swingarm pivots and I need a dia. & length of the trans mount bolt.

So far ?

Yeah , I bet you listened to it. Jus' like I did ! Trivia , that girl was extremely pregnant in that photo !

Some stuff needs to be just loud enuf to be heard . Herb Alpert , Al Green , etc. should be like that .

It is unusual how so many members have similar bikes .

Well , they took the ugliest bike ever produced by MG and turned them into something pretty good looking !

IDK anything about these bikes . Are these hydraulic or cable operated clutches ?

I have been sorting metric/standard bolts/nuts/washers for about 6 weeks (to keep my sanity also) now and I am still sorting things out. I have tried keeping all the MG stuff together just wanting to keep them together. Those bolt thread sort tools have been a savior !

I hope you keep all your old fasteners that you remove from the bike and keep them in a safe place ?

FWIW , remove the spark plug and inspect it . it is probably damaged from the crash. Also, check the spark plug cap . Remove the (unscrew) cap from the wire and check the resistance ( I think it should be 5k) , and look for a tear in the boot.

Just throwin' it out there for you

The best color you can paint it is : hydrographics ! You can have it dipped in a CF coating and it will look RIGHTEOUS !

Nawww
