giving my '93 TTR a new life

 Hi all here.

I ordered parts and a coworker agreed to ask his son to help with transport. He too is waiting for some parts for his KTM, and to cut on shipping costs (and Customs, ofcourse biggrin ) all goodies will come to Togo via France. Should be here by 7th Oct.

A long tear down, parts cleaning, and reassembling time to come.

this morning I got all ordered parts smile  Time to toss away the Krombacher beer can and start cleaning, lapping and rebuilding process biggrin

I didn't want to deglaze by hand; got a deglazing tool with 2 sets of different grid stones. Will try it out and report back.

Great news Sena - glad it all got to you safely biggrin

I will be very interested in hearing how you get on with the de-glazing tool. I have a new one that I bought some while ago but have been afraid to use it in case it takes off too much metal disbelief

I deglaze by hand using 360 grit paper at about a 45 degree angle to get a cross hatched finish. It is important to make sure you clean any grit or swarf from the barrel before re-assembly.

Good luck with the rebuild!

Nice change from computers wink

TODAY the items I ordered Finally arrived. yawn  All items were received, repacked, and group-shipped by my friend in France since 02nd January evileye; originally should take 2 weeks..., took 3 months.

The delay problem come from strikes in Spain harbour the boat went through, and worse also in my country.

Anyway, now I'm a happy owner of an Acerbis fuel tank . (again, many thanks my friend ! )

Knowing random shipping delays I may suffer, instead of an "advent calendar with chocolates" for late Christmas, I managed to get a complete valve shim box (same size, more expensive, wife doesn't catch it...).

It's a real overkill / money wasting, but I had no better choice living an area where finding a single chim may become a nightmare.

Now, time to unbox all the items kept for months.  Hope NOW I'll have everything under hand.wink  I'll update my topic next weekend as the things will evolve.
