Three not of a kind
Meet Jumbo
An evening or two rooting through the pile of bits to check what was missing or damaged revealed that the catalogue of horrors was a relatively short read. In the worst condition was the magnesium clutch case, which had been holed and repaired with some sort of plastic stuff and I’m hoping it can be fixed with specialist welding.
Lesser problems include a damaged front brake torque arm, a poorly repaired alloy swinging arm and a mudguard securing boss in the frame that has been badly drilled out. I’ll replace all the fasteners as a matter of course and it’ll need consumables like a chain, but these are generic and can come from anywhere. I was far more concerned by any SWM specific bits that might be missing, although I checked it was reasonably complete when I bought it, I had never seen a SWM before and I had no idea what was right and what was not!
However, some luck was on my side it seems, as the only major part missing was the rear brake lever, although it was slightly annoying when it turned out that the front mudguard stays and the mudguards were incorrect
