The T110 still making cover pages ;-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Its the August 2016 edition of THE CLASSIC MOTORCYCLE MAGAZINE.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Great article to read, an original T110 owner who sold his bike in the 60's and to get it left to him in a will almost 40yrs later.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Great photos of detail and original photos and documentation. Grab a copy if you can.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here some images:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was put in contact with Kelly through his son in Canada who stumbled upon this blog.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was good to exchange info and compare parts, brackets and mounting points. It is amazing how the parts on these old triumphs are so interchangeable and how over the years you are not always to sure what you are left with is still original.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was also encouraging to find out Kelly has traced down two other T110s in South Africa which are restored, and he is planning on paying them a visit sometime.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Keep us posted Kelly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Good meeting you.</span><br />

Roger arranged for us to visit a friend with a TIG welder (Thanks Russell).

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Friday 27<sup>th</sup> December, my big brothers came to
help with the bike. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The plan was to get to a rolling frame. First order was to
get the rear wheel which had been laced previously all “squared” and balanced,
which Roger has a talent for.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My compressor was repaired by Guy (it had blown the gasket)
so that the tubes and tyres could be fitted to both wheels. With some fancy
foot work the wheels were given their “tackies”, and look really good.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I can now see I had quite a few bits missing from my bike. The part is a L.F.Harris part.</p>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly the new bearings needed to be pressed in.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then it was time to start figuring out the lacing pattern. I had taken pictures before dismantling the hubs, but of course you can never have too many pictures to refer to.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once the pattern was right the nipples were fitted with some thread lubricant so the stainless would not fowl up.</span></div>

A "needle" was set up as a gauge, and then the process of loosening and tightening proceeded. Firstly with a electric drill then more finely with a hand spanner.</span></div>

Cleaning and powder coating to be exact. But firstly they needed to be dis-mantled. Removing the bearing dust cover turned out to be quite a challenge. But with a bit a crafty skill from my friend Johan, it turned out to be really easy. Once again proving the right tool, or "home-made" tool for the job makes life a lot easier.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week the hubs went in and have come back. They were double powder coated. Firstly a black coating and then a clear satin coating. Gives a nice deep lustre to the surface and I am told is known to be harder wearing. They were able to protect the insides of the hubs/ bearing surfaces and the breaking surfaces during the powder coating process. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One from a gentleman in town who I met through the Lotus Seven Enthusiasts group in PE. Ray was able to help me source the missing stanchions I needed, as the ones I had were badly pitted and believe it or not would cost more to have hard chromed and polished than sourcing a nice new pair, made in Taiwan. Part no: WW28943 (45-39668).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A order was also coming through from Tri-Cor, so a couple of fiddly nuts and bolts were brought in as well as the chrome Horn Grille I had been missing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly my brother managed to get the gearbox insides lined up correctly and hence the gearbox has gone together and is working well. The levers were also chrome plated, which has made a huge difference.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The clutch basket was adjusted and with the new clutch plates has been re-assembled.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the meantime some more bolt and nut plating was done. Here is an interesting comparison of some bolts, firstly after they have pickled in some acid for awhile (this is done to remove old zinc plating as well as any existing rust), then once they have been vapour blasted and finally after plating.</span><br />
