Hi Kurt phenolic (Tufnol?) spacers Thicker ones, 1/2" 3/4" 1" etc, are available from a UK supplier (can't recall the name at the moment), Surrey Cycles? Certainly they have (had?) them. Hth. Regards, Thanks, Stuart -- that's them! https://surreycycles.com/product/tufnel-spacers/

Jon, do you wear a HAZ MAT suit when anywhere near that GUNK?  No Kurt, just rubber gloves :bigt I have this Gunk and another 1 gallon can of Berryman's. I think the GUNK might be a tad bit better.

Jon, I've found that a large roll of aluminum foil is a better masking than tape. You can form it around things, and it will stay put. It covers a larger area, so no cleanup. Usually.

Thanks Red. Even now, it is hard to believe this is the same machine ! Hey Jon, I thought you were waiting till it warmed up... man, it's looking good tho Hi Mark....it warmed up a little and above all else, I just couldn't wait ! In years past, I have waited and then find when the next snowfall comes in the late fall that I didn't take advantage of every opportunity to get bike things done. No more ! In the past two or three year, I've completed more projects than I did in the previous 10 to 20 combined. My goal is to have this Daytona road ready by June :bigt

Wow Nick, very nice. It certainly did have quite the transformation ! Looking forward to seeing the bike in June, any idea for paint color? Hey Nick L, That's quite the transformation on that one Mark, I am leaning toward blue with a silver stripe down the center. I have seen a couple of different shades I like and Honda cars seem to have the best colors. I saw a CRX a few weeks ago in this color and knew it was the one immediately. Here's what I'm thinking : [img] https://img.purch.com/o/aHR0cDovL3d...ZW50LzIwMTIvMTEvMjAxMy1ob25kYS1jcnouanBn[/img] ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hybridcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/2015_Honda_CR_Z_EX_Navi_03.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://icdn-5.motor1.com/images/mgl/O3wnR/s4/2014-512709-2015-honda-cr-z-us-spec1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://lln.mnmcdn.com/photos/content/october2014/thumbnailsnew/honda-crz-2_653.jpg)

I got the carb manifolds on today as well as the new Rocker Box Inspection Cap Locking Springs. With the springs, I found that to make them work correctly, I needed to use a hammer and drift to get them into the position seen in the pictures. I also installed the new inspection cap fiber washers. I was going to mount the carbs today as well but the behind the scenes fiascoes taking place to make this all happen necessitated I finish up and mount them tomorrow ! So anyway, here is the progress from today. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/gcYwzf1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/vnhjw7b.jpg)

Probably a trick of the photography but it looks as if the springs are bearing on the fibre washer rather than on the serrations of the inspection cap? HTH

Hi, You'll stand a better chance of not loosing those caps if you use o-rings rather than the fibre washers. ... although that might depend on the thickness of the the O-rings. Years ago, before I aware of a thickness issue, the O-rings I was sold were thin and useless at keeping the caps, I had better luck with fibre washers after I discovered that's what Triumph fitted originally. Hth. Regards,

I’ve found that O-rings are the answer to the lost cap problem. O-rings that looked about right, picked from a box of assorted O-rings.
I’ve done a lot of miles and I recommend you do not fit those stupid fibre washers.

Apologize for the long overdue update but was finally able to start back on the T100R today. I decided to have a look at the points and advance unit and glad I did. This bike should not have this type of advance unit in it !!! ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/vnlTnFe.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/mpZN5HA.jpg) .......and also, low and behold, there is a hole with the broken end of a points pillar bolt broken off in the case. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/yrIhIUt.jpg) So, after removing the points plate and auto advance unit, it is time to get to work. After carefully drilling through the broken stud, I was able to tap in an extractor. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/wJastGe.jpg) Steady as she goes. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/fSLib1H.jpg) Remnants of Pillar Bolt removed....wheeeew ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/DUjLRZG.jpg) All Clear ! ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/XHKSE1P.jpg)
