I was recently reading are re-building article in a classic bike mag from 2006, the bike was a constellation, the expert shall remain nameless, he found that the rear sprocket was fouling the swinging arm, he ground the swinging arm away to give clearance, then welded a gusset on for strength, of course now the chain run was wrong so the sprocket was ground off and a new one welded on. He then went on to say he had to make a cranked rear brake rod to clear the rear suspension unit, the photos clearly showed that the operating arm on the rear hub was pointing up when it should be down. "Expert's" believe them at your peril.
