On the lookout for elements. Worldwide and at residence and discovering one other H2….
As you’ll be able to see right here I´m working solely on the ignition a part of the bike proper now. I´m nonetheless looking for all of the small bits and items lacking right here and there. That is the one place I’ve to retailer the big fairing in a protected place. A number of padding on the seat and tank and right here it might relaxation safely.
The ignition is coming collectively slowly little by little. Right here I’ve gathered the elements I’ve discovered to this point. As I’ve talked about earlier than I made a decision to go the better H1B-route for now, in regards to the ignition. A number of NOS stuff right here… The three H1B ignition coils, as an example. Model new and hopefully usable along with all the opposite H1B elements right here.
Since I’ve been unable to find the proper H1R ( 21103-004) factors timing cam, I´m going H1B (21103-005) additionally right here. One NOS on the left within the image and one used within the center. To the proper is the proper timing cam plate. Used on each H1R and H1B.
I’ve additionally situated a NOS early H1 ignition cowl. I feel the unique on the H1R was left with its uncooked aluminium floor. This one is painted silver, the one distinction. I can stay with that. Straightforward to repair once you really feel the necessity to. The rotor can be a typical half (21007-016). I discovered a NOS one at an inexpensive worth on eBay a yr in the past. As I mentioned, discovering elements is the exhausting factor, right here. When one thing exhibits up, BUY!
And the stator I labored on in my final put up. I nonetheless just like the look of it!
Right here´s one other gem. 21071-004, Regulator. Frequent half between the H1R and the H1B. Behind it’s the used rectifier I’ve situated to this point. If a NOS one exhibits up I would purchase it! This regulator is definitely not solely NOS (New Previous Inventory) but in addition NIB (New In Field)… It’s worthwhile to sustain with the lingo once you´re browsing the web for elements…
Not all purchases are successful, although. I ordered 5 of those Woodruff keys considering they might be right for the H1R. Not so. I had to return to the elements lists and attempt to determine this one out. Extra about that in a while!
Gathering stuff and trying to find that illusive little half over the web and through contacts is enjoyable, however hands-on-working is admittedly what’s the most attention-grabbing a part of this passion. I´ll quickly be needing to start out engaged on the fairing and the fasteners on it. These are the unique ones from the bike plus a couple of further from “Tullar´n”, the man that repaired Janne´s and my fairing units. They’re known as “Dzus” fasteners and was really invented within the thirties by an american engineer of Ukrainian descent , William Dzus.
I knew so little about these items I needed to google it… Right here´s the precise patent from 1934. Actually cool to see the stuff appears to be precisely the identical in 1970 as in 1934. The precept is easy. The fastener is locked in place by pushing the 2 surfaces you wish to be part of collectively. The small “Dzus” screw is pushed in to “catch” the wire half and is then turned 90 degress to lock them collectively. The stress within the wire retains the screw from turning unfastened even throughout excessive vibrations. These are mostly utilized in plane functions but in addition right here, in racing.
OK, again to my fasteners. I used to be planning on getting a batch of recent ones (they’re available in lots of sizes…) however figured I might attempt to clear them up a bit. The half about not over restoring, keep in mind? These had been painted sooner or later and had just a little floor rust right here and there. I counted the holes within the fairings and got here up with a necessity of completely 9 units. The elements record says 11… I imagine it has to do with the variety of fasteners on the underside fairing. Mine has solely 3 per aspect and photos from different bikes present they’ve 4. That is one thing I´ll need to look into extra in a while. I´m considering somebody, “Esso” or Björn, lower the fairing on the rear half to accommodate huge ft. Stays to be seen!
Nicely, nothing to lose… Simply get on with it.
The primary one carried out. That works for me! I desire one thing with a little bit of a narrative to inform in comparison with model new stuff. This isn’t the final time I´ll use outdated, barely tarnished elements as a substitute of recent ones.
Throughout cleansing these, I got here up with a plan to rezink them. That would have labored on the wire loops, however the precise Dzus screws are chrome. Pretty much as good a clear as I might do must be sufficient.
It took a few hours… They don’t seem to be in pristine, as new situation however they’ll match my bike completely!
When “Esso” received the Swedish Grand Prix, July 1970, he had already raced it 4 instances and Kjell Bogren entered the very first race in Might 1970 at Falkenberg with it. That makes 5 races earlier than the race I intend to duplicate its appears from. That offers me quite a lot of leeway on the subject of situation of issues!
Generally it´s higher to ask regionally earlier than shopping for issues on a whim over the web. I requested Ebbe in regards to the Woodruff keys on H1 and H2:s.
“The H1:s and the H2:s each use 3×4,9×14 mm woodruff keyes in that location. I can ship one to you, freed from cost!”
Thanks, that´s the one to the proper right here. One much less factor to fret about!
A few days later after I was rummaging by all my bins and drawers trying to find one thing else, I stumbled throughout these infants… Yeah, in fact, the small 3mm woodruff key along with its bigger 5mm cousin and a sprocket lock nut. These are some further elements provided, freed from cost, by “Patrick Bras” of France after I ordered a bigger amount of H2 elements some time in the past. See? I all the time try this! Okay, now I’ve not less than two 3 mm keys and 6 5mm ones. Not counting those I’ve, however haven´t situated… but. AAHHRRGG!!
So, right here we’re at current. The ignition is kind of full and may go on the bike any yr now…
One other H2 was talked about within the headline of this put up. Nicely, Somebody made me a proposal I couldn´t refuse. An H2A 1973 that has been sitting for 15-20 years. The final proprietor had the physique repainted , purchased new exhausts, wiring loom, decals and many others, and many others. I received´t write about it right here, on this weblog, however now why I´m distracted from engaged on the H1R as a substitute. I instructed you I wouldn´t begin on considered one of my different two H2:s… That´s kind of true since I obtained me one other one!
The plan right here is to place the engine again within the body and mount as many elements as potential on to the bike to make it simpler to retailer. After I purchased it every part was in bits. Through the first day of fettling with it I had the seat mounted, rear mild and fastback with all its inside elements in place and cleaned up the gasoline tank, sidecovers entrance fender and mounted that…. Right this moment i fastened the entrance brake grasp cylinder that wasn´t working correctly. Subsequent is the engine.. We´ll see if I can avoid placing on an exhaust system, clear the carbs and begin it up… I´ll let !
Thanks for studying and preserve driving protected on the market.
