Pogo Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Hi Niall I used a Recoil kit. Very easy really - I was putting of doing it as I thought it would be difficult. Changed studs to UNC/UNF ones - available from Moss. Easy to do but you need to be careful when you drill - make sure the drill is straight or you will struggle when trying to bolt it all back up. I used an old hub to get the drill nice and straight. Good Luck. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SOAA Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) Hi. I used the Rick Patton jig with Time Sert inserts. The job was really easy with the right tools. The tricky bit is to drill the hole straight, and with the Patton jig this wasn't an issue. Keen Sert can also be used. http://www.pattonmachine.com/TA-Jig-Setup.htm Good luck!
