So far,everything has been stripped off and degreased.  Just like the engine, all the bolts were rusty and siezed so little can be saved in the way of fixings.

First job was to get the frame on the bench and start fabricating the footrests and hangers.  I already had a pair of trials footrests left over from the Bantam project so decided to use these.  I made the hangers from 1" angle iron welded and finished with a grinder.  Trials regs now stipulate that footrests must be of the folding type and the fabrication of these was fairly straightforward.  A difficulty arose in mounting these as the original postion was too far forward.  I consequently made the hangers to fit on the mounts for the original pillion rests.  This was somwhat complicated because the mounting holes were nominally threaded 1/2" BSC but the bolts were very loose and the heads too big to accommodate the new hangers.  It was common in days gone by for fixings to vary somewhat in size and I surmise that the original fixing holes were drilled a little oversize to accommodate an ill-fitting bolt.  I overcame this by machining new bolts from stainless steel Whitworth hexagon bar stock, cutting the BSCY threads at the extreme opening of the die, hence cutting a slightly oversized thread.  The bar stock was the size for 7/16" thus creating a small head to fit inside the hangers.

I removed the stand mounting flange which hangs under the frame.  This is superfluous on a trials bike and severely reduces ground clearance.  This was originally brazed onto the frame so it was easy to grind away the braze on one side and then break the braze on the other side thus preserving the fitting in case it is required to be refitted at a later date.
