Gears needed to be re-greased with graphite grease. What little grease remained seemed congealed.

3 speed internals show some signs of trauma. All the gears were perfect though.

Drive cup was looking serviceable. Perhaps these could be re-used in future.

At the other end of Savage, things were looking surprisingly good considering.

Steel spur was very healthy, grabby Hpi dual brakes looked serviceable, but were not destined to be used on the restore.

Front end bulkhead, complete with cam steering on ballraces was in good order but needed re-lubricating and general service.

Shocks were in remarkably good shape - zero leakage and in perfect working order.

Here's the protek part for shims and crankshaft extender. Note that the brass spacers are not included. I just had them floating about in my spares.

Note that 90% of the extender needed shimming, so most of the gap was taken up with 2 brass spacers, backed with a steel washer. I also used 1 x 0.1mm shim. Perfect!

Here's the problem. The flywheel fully tightened down, even after a little strategic grinding, so very nearly allows the end of the Crank to peak through. Had I known, I wouldn't have bothered with the grinding.

2 little shims on right, along with the bigger shims that needed to be drilled out to fit.
