Fantastic video as always. Some great progress made. Not great not terrible seems to be the watchword. Looking forward to seeing the reassmbly and wheel building! Sending love to you, Rebecca and the boys.
Yes, not too bad all in all, only 3.6 Roentgens.
Have a safe trip.
Love to you and the family.
Dean.
Another great video. Thanks Dean.
Thanks very much Peter.
I got more plugs than a 4 way extension lead😂. Our telly jumped up and down as you removed that bearing !
So did the work bench! It needs to be more solid.
Best wishes Dean.
eyup Dean, very thorough job, looking good,
when i re-spoked my original A7ss rims with stainless spokes, i think the rims were stamped up "Jones" as the manufacturer. just a bit of useless information there!!!
see you next time

Thanks Kev. Jones Rims were very good, original equipment in many cases. These wheels are staying as they are, the next project will be getting wheels built.
Best wishes, Dean.
Great work Dean and all in all so far everything that came apart looked good. The dreaded open bearings strike again with that amount of grease! I'm yet to see a D7 fork that remains oil tight and as you pointed out, the seals are woefully inadequate. The tyres were that old they could nearly be classed now as "heirloom" tyres. Looking forward to the rebuild.
Thanks Bones. Those tyres must be the originals, I'm sure of it. The tubes too, they still hold air really well. As you say, the forks will leak come what may, as the bushes seem ok it's pointless renewing everything for the sake of it. It will get new seals as a sign of goodwill!
Hope you are fine, best wishes
Dean.
Nice job brother.
Thanks my friend
Looking pretty good all in all Dean. Those seals really are a bit of a token gesture lol. Cheers, Jon
Thanks Jon, they really are!
👍
With all those loose nuts & bolts just a quick trip round the block and it would probably have disassembled itself!
I think so Ian. I'm very glad that I'm going through everything.
Best wishes, Dean.

Always welcome Cain.
were do you get the bottom split bushes from ?
That's a great question Alan. Draganfly list the parts but whether they are split or not is not clear to me.
Best wishes, Dean.
@@retromechanicalengineer Thanks Dean
@@retromechanicalengineer you cant buy split buses I've looked everywhere Dean
@@alanbrown1563 thanks for letting me know Alan, I'll mention it in the next video.
Hi great vlog, could you tell me were i can buy "universal bsa station tool"i,m about to to seal on a D10,looked but cant find tool for sale?,thanks Mark.

Sorry stantion not station you used it to release fork tubes from yokes

@@markkneller1172 you can get a tool from 'Classic Bike Shop' in the UK, not sure if it will fit D10. I had to make a tool to fit my heavyweight B175 forks.
