Does the Electra have a roller big end? if so then the floating bush isn't that bad after all. I've decided to stick with the original crank set up, there's no play so it's going back in the engine. What are you doing with yours?

hi chris ,i,m buying mr h,s stage1 tune up kit as the rod is machined for an outer bearing track unlike the standard item,today i,ve been to newark aj there was tons of enfield stuff but no toolboxes!! i bought a fair bit for the electra x devil bike !! now has loads of goodies fitted in mock up form atb paul.

Looking forward to seeing it

hi chris just spent £654 on tune up electra goodies via the big h ,hopefully his great service will have my bits here wednesday ,then i can get the crank rebuilt ,hope the stage 1 kit is worth the sheckles amal carb etc!!!atb paul.

Grunda - I have a spare r/h toolbox someone gave me from a 350... if this is useful to you then write to me at [email protected]. It has a lock (no key) that can be removed, if you are patient and dextrous!
