Well ,,had a chance to work on the Manx for a day,,I welded in the mount for the SACO clutch master cylinder,,Drilled the holes in the front of the chassis and mounted the cylinder,,Clamped the reservoir to the frame,,Installed the brake master,,,Made a longer rod for the clutch hook so it would line up with the clutch master,,So fair,,So good,,Had new king pin and link pin bushings installed,,So the next thing to do well be build the front end,,,

I ordered rear adjustable spring plates from CB Performance in May and just now got them,,Sway A Way,,Well bad news,,,The torsion bars don't fit in them,,They line up but wont slide on,,As you can see in the pix,,It's about 1/1000 of an inch off,,,I tapped them with a rubber mallet and you can see the ring it left on the splines,,If it were honed out it would fit,,,I have a call into Sway A Way to see what they want to do,,,Bummer,,,,,I wonder if it shrunk when they welded it ????
