Hi Guys, I'm looking for a bit of info. Could somebody give me the dimensions for the frame plugs for my '97

, with a bit of luck one of the fitters at work will turn them down for me.

Good luck, your machinist will love you :wink)

They're 4 different sizes you need 2" bar for the two larger ones and 1 3/4" for the two smaller.

The part that goes into the frame are all 15mm long, the heads are 4mm thick
RH large- 42mm dia with 30mm hole in back 5mm deep. 49mm head
RH small- 36mm dia with 20mm hole in back 5mm deep. 43mm head
LH large- initial 42 dia then turn down a 5 degree taper from end to base of top. 30mm hole 13mm deep. 49mm head
LH small- initial 33 dia then turn down a 5 degree taper from end to base of top. 20mm hole 5mm deep. 33mm head

30 degree taper on the heads,2mm deep grooves for O rings, polish the bastards up and there you have it

If he tells you bollocks you'll have to come back to me and I'll do you some when I get chance.

Nearly forgot... those are the standard measurements I use to make sure they fit in the holes without catching the metal, frames holes can vary by up to a mm so you may have to use different O rings/PTFE tape etc if they are too slack or tight on your bike.

Just ask Bezzer to do them. At least then you know they will be spot on. Only 25 quid - Absolute bargain matey :thumbsup)

Too late, I gave the bloke the sizes yesterday, I'll give him a chance to see what he can come up with (although he went a bit white when he saw the specs), Â£25 thats nearly 2 crates of Guinness! But watch this space I might be back to ask Bezzer in a couple of weeks :thumbsup)

Bezzer also makes a donation to IXXRA funds from that 25 quid :thumbsup)

How about asking your mate to make a donation too seeing as how Bezzer did all the hard work in the first place :mrgreen:

Taz I'll stick a donation in myself if the plugs turn out ok :thumbsup)
