1st?? Is the private  messaging system working? Need to chat with MiKaw Matt!  About some Chevy small block items! 400CI 4 bolt main cap block with steel heads & matching large harmonic balancer.. And also a set of 90's modern style Aluminum angle plug heads. Machined in for screw in rocker studs. Or anyone else?   For Sale!

Hello again. Yes! I know most of the items with date codes! Couple months ago Brad Jr. OINK! Sold an early 72/73 No Date Code Swing Arm on eBay for $236.
He had all the early parts also, Early fork boss's for fender. He had an ugly flaky chrome no shift pattern chain cover. The ad is gone from time constraints.
I Think I have a similar situation? This one I have is pretty crudely built! The production stamping marks on top were the date codes ugly, marks, lines from presses? I don't know?
There is no date code stamping. Also have a no shift pattern sprocket / chain cover. The inner chain oiler pump scored the inside
NOW! needle bearings are pressed in Bronze bushings, the stock steel sleeve bush is too long. it is the one for the 78 KZ1000 that was in with this lot?
The lip on the bronze bush is .164".
I'm wondering if I have to omit the OEM dust cap shields with the O-ring. on each end at the inner sides of frame?
I don't want to start pressing in bushings without knowing the correct geometry of this? Never did this in the past.
I'll post some better pics tomorrow. More pics later.
Just want to know when tha kaw folks started dating the top of swing arm??  Or the worker was new and took a break at the production line?  

The PM system isn't working, would you like me to put you in touch via email ?

Marty, I tried to send you Matt's info via email. but your email address bounced.  Maybe Wookie already worked it out, but if you still need to contact Matt send me an email.

Thanks Wookie! I did receive your email. 
And I sent a reply to you, not Matt yet.

Thanks for your time and effort

Hi Jim, Thanks. I'm sure Matt will see one of the posts. I had his phone # back a few years when he was sending items to the Plater I know.

Thanks for your time and effort! Sell me that "PUPPET" swing arm! For Wall Art!
