kanerdog1x1 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread where we could share all of the sources of those little pieces that you see on race bikes/specials, in magazines etc.. that you might not be able to find. That little plastic clip you saw on a bike at a BSB meeting five years ago, and try as you might you may never find out where to get them from..... Word spamming is king in this thread, so if you could add a link for a supplier, perhaps a pic, and a description so that the search tool can do it thing efficiently. Many pm'd me at the time about these dry break connectors, mine were from http://www.hosefit.c...roducts_id=1024 They have been on the bike now for 18 months, trouble free. apparently they are interchangeable with the staubli version too, which could be handy. Phase one and others use these little quick release sets on their fuel tank breathers. Available from most bike shops via bike-it, tho ebay is usually far cheaper. Search 'fuel quick connector'. I like these panduit cable ties, similar to T&B/Thomas&Betts. From http://www.expressel... Barb Ties (BT) Nice little brase/weld on hose guides. I used to annoy the local pushbike shop for these, but you can order them direct. http://www.framebuilding.com/what.htm Word search the page for '200', and '201' for the rivet on alloy ones. If anyone has anything to add, then please do. Knowledge is power, and the devil is in the detail. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 For that green fuel pipe. They also do those rubber straps for securing tanks and stuff. http://www.discovolantemoto.co.uk/rubber-parts-20-c.asp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanerdog1x1 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Nice one. They do a few little bits on there, the price of those drum brake hubs is staggering. These are the little rubber/silicon grommets that appear on a multitude of Ducatis. On the road bikes they are on the exhaust mounts and radiator mounts, and on the race bikes they are everywhere. Ducati part number is :- 76410241A I find them useful elsewhere too, would be handy to mount instruments properly, to isolate a breather tank or even possibly the fuel tank. I used them on Gary Inmans oil cooler too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blow_away Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Remember to check OE prices before you buy. I needed new disc rotor mounting screws for the R1, the aftermarket suppliers were asking stupid amounts, second-hand ones on e-bay were £15 for a set of 10. I was passing Fowlers so I called in to check, OE ones were 68 pence each. I bought 20 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanerdog1x1 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Brembo part number 10.4446.70 A web search will throw up dozens of suppliers, I got mine from PDQ. Any bike shop should be able to supply them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drunkn munky Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Would anyone happen to know if you can get starter button switchgear that just has the starter button so you can junk the bulky stock switchgear with unneeded controls for a trackbike.

Adam Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Not really parts but I thought it would be useful here. I was looking for a place to have some parts anodised. Most of the parts were just black but a few, namely the wheel spacers and cam chain tensioner needed hard anodising. I picked bits up after about a week and I was thoroughly impressed with the results. The five spacers, CCT, clip-on clamps and tubes, and the top yoke cost £30 to have done. The company I used was called the Premier Plating Company http://premierplating.co.uk/ Absolutely brilliant to deal with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szrdave Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 All good stuff in this thread so far, I've just ordered a load of clips and clamps from HCL I'm looking for a quick release fuel coupling similar to this one, but I need hose barbs rather than threaded end fittings. It's for a carb'd bike so there is no requirement for a high pressure rating. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Anyone know where to get small banjo fittings? I haven't check the banjo bolt thread yet but it looks like 5mm But could be something like 3/16 UNC as the thread looks very course.

kanerdog1x1 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 mountain bikes use either m6 or m8 banjos, most common by far is the m6x1. used by hope, shimano, avid, hayes.... any good bike shop would carry spares from the manufacturer, and also offer aftermarket brake line kits from hel/goodridge/clarkes/hope etc.. or here:- http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/goodridge-hose-connector-m6-1-0-banjo-bolt/rp-prod20449 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Venhill sorted me out with a hose with M6 banjos. Strangely though, they don't stock M6 banjo bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanerdog1x1 Posted December 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 a friend found some nice wiring over braid stuff whilst on holiday in antigua, lucky bastard. its just like the polyester overbraid stuff from maplin/rs/ebay, but its split so you can feed it on afterwards, tres handy. i just found something similar on ebay and bought some for 'testing':- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Top-of-the-range-professional-wire-covering-/350630074866?pt=UK_DIY_Materials_Plumbing_MJ&var=&hash=item51a32e59f2 the actual stuff he has is from 'techflex', and is the 'f6' range.
