An 1199S Project

I know, I know, here he goes again posting about something that is not his 1199S project, but so happy how my rebuilt and cerakoted original F08 brembos came out. New pistons, orings, dust seals, bleed nipples, ceramic infused brembo pads, and retaining pins. I also have some nice custom made exact spec bends/length braided brake lines that are black but a slight carbon fibre look. There is a black plastic cover that goes on top but I left off for the photos so you could see the new pads and stainless steel pins and clip.

Hello Gentlemen,
I often check in to see how everyones projects are going. I am still working on the SSD. I got the wheels back from the painter and they look great. I ended up removing the swing arm, a rear fibreglass guard that acts like a mudguard which stops dirt getting to the rear of the engine and also the chain guard. I am repainting all these myself. I have a couple pics to post. The first one is just a cabinet full of parts (just some of them) that are to be fitted to the 1199S. The second photo is just an example of the rabbit hole I went down. It is a pic of one of the glass bead aqua blastered Dellorto 32mm carburettors which I completely rebuilt. At the top there are 3 little spring washer behind 3 screws. In total there are six. I cleaned up the screws and washers but the washers were still a little dark and not as clean as I wanted. Ended up buy 6 new ones from a guy in England. You will see the edge of the washer under the screw on the left which is new and the darker one on the right. I felt so much better when I replaced the old ones with shiny new ones.

Also in my last post I put a photo in of one of my rebuilt Brembo calipers. I have now sourced a set of 6 Ti 6mm bleeders so I am going to replace the stainless steel ones in the photo.

Well so much for photos. I have to work out a better way of posting photos. All the best cheers

Here is the pic of the two spring washers. One on the left is new and the one on the right is the old original. Today I received back some custom machined parts. I am lucky a friend has a lathe and previously was a tradesman. He made me 3 x T7075 aluminium replicas of the OEM steel parts. Saving 441 grams. I was able to source the aluminium stock bar as cut offs and it was cheap. I gave my friend a gift card to spend at a machine shop supplier as a thank you. I am keeping fairly careful notes of the weight savings I am making and will knock up a spreadsheet to tally it all up. Every gram counts. LOL
