These were on the UK site so they may not have shown up in the US. Unusual for them to turn up here. These were with a dealer who looked to be having a clear-out.

I look everywhere for parts and I've gotten my fair share from the UK, but I am not really looking for tools. I was just saying in my previous post that I should have seen them, but didn't. I've noticed that when I search ebay, just by adding or omitting a term (e.g., 305 or C77) I get widely different search results. It can be frustrating, as I'm sure you know.

Restoring 1964 CA 77,or as I've learned while reading this excellent forum, CA 78.
Trying to remove this nut, before I start to use REAL muscle, is there anything I need to know?
Also, I can turn my dampner knob till doomsday but it refuse to come out?
What say the gurus?

Yes it can be difficult. Common miss-spellings are often a good way of finding parts cheaply....

This "guru" says... You post is probably in the wrong place... :-)

Which nut?

Do you have any manuals for your bike?

Better descriptions of you problem and a photo or two will always get you better answers.

Graham, how did you ever find that breather Y tube assembly? That plastic Y joiner was broken on my bike, and I was never able to find a suitable replacement, so I left those tubes off. Great find!

And so were those special tools! Persistence pays off.

The Y tube was just sitting there on US eBay, as were the tools in the UK. I have plenty of time for eBay searches when I'm sitting in US hotel rooms...... :-)
