And so it’s Starts 🤞🤞

Hi folks hope you’re weekend went well
While we’re contemplating whether the motor on the D1B1 is ok to fit, any advice on how to join these little beauties, I’ve read somewhere about liquid electric stuff but for the life of me I can’t remember (a)if that’ll do the trick,or (b)it’s a load of rollox
Cheers Baza

 

[Baza 07]

Hi I’ve sourced the liquid electrical tape
Cheers Baza

 

[Baza 07]

Motor now sourced, and spins like an ice skater on steroids
Cheers Baza

Hi all, now I’ve got the new motor on the bench a couple of Qs
How d’you hold the pegs back while putting the little bearing in
And is it possible to test the motor when it’s in the Ali housing before it’s fitted to the bike
Cheers Baza

Okay there is a "Knack" to this

You need a brill bit that is CLEAN AND NO BURRS on the smooth shank

I think it was an 8 mm but its been a while

Fit the Bushing on the drill smooth part And what you have to do is just "Learn the knack" it may take a few goes

Insert and rotate the bushing at about 45 ish degrees to the surface and push and rotate the whole drill bushing thing around, it will hopefully pick up one and open it and then spread both the plungers by the third revolution and just drop in

A little grease in the bearing side of the bushing and insert motor and secure it

It is better to have the pipes all plumbed and primed with fresh fluid before Plugging it in to test it !

You "may" need a GS 911 or motoscan to completely bleed the brake system

I think a video of this method would be very helpful at this juncture

Cheers Doc,I’ve got a Motoscan but I reckon I’m a while off using it yet
What was your take on the D1B1 motor

 

[DrFarkoff]

What was your take on the D1B1 motor

No idea what it is to be honest

If the bushing fits between the pistons and the motor casing fits down into and between the raised sides of the ABS block and it is 12 volt?? It should in theory work

BUT I know that the Mk 7 fiesta one works Absolutely

I would need to have the parts in question But they hit the bin 8 years ago now

 

[Baza 07]

No need for YouTube fella’s I had a Eureka moment, my turn to pop something into this forum
I tried Docs trick and couldn’t get the hang of it, but while having my tea, bingo Feeler Gauges
Piece of Piss two minutes and it was sorted, Jeeez am I pleased with myself

 

[Baza 07]

Easy suggestions on how to clamp the bugga down,not forgetting I’ve never done any taping out before
Cheers Baza

 

[Santa-2512]

how was the old one fixed?

It twas a slightly bigger casing then the Ali was knocked over on four sides

I mentioned to the Doc about using Araldite on an earlier post,and he said NO, fair play,
but what about J D WELD,the reason i'm saying resin,is because i'm not sure how far you can drill down
the Alloy block,and where i can drill,,,,,,,,,,,,,Cheers Baza

right at 2 of the corners 10mm deep and tap out to M5

You are only holding that shape down into the alloy "edges"

You can;t use epoxy as I very much suspect that it will break free with heat cold vibration and would NOT be my chosen method of restraining a spinning motor that has an eccentric boss pumping brakes!!!

It was peened and that stuff is as hard as hell now

Does the metal part fit down in between those corners and Edges ??

as the original one did??

 

[Baza 07]

The photos might explain it better Doc, when you say drill the corners I take it you’re referring to the raised corners as ringed in RED.
As you can see by the first picture the light grey motor (the new one) is slightly smaller than the Black one (the old one)
Cheers Baza

 

[Baza 07]

Morning folks, so I’ve got my drill and tap kit,but I’m not to sure about what I’m doing, the Doc said “ 2 of the corners 10mm deep and tap out to M5”
But as the rough photo shows,it’s only threading the hole about 5mm, so does that mean I only need a 5mm bolt to hold the motor down,couple of questions how hot does the motor get, and how fast does it spin,

taper tap and a plug tap

you start gentle with the taper (the one in your pic) - then usually finish with a plug tap - but you really want a bottoming one for a blind hole

 

[botus]

various bodges to get it to stay there

must be lots of meat on some look at the length of these ones

I let these guys do mine years back
