My Old F/B 89. Marsh.

Hi All,
The pressed steel centre section has been knocked in with a hammer at some time. I don't think I can get it back to shape, as I would have to get inside the box-section. I will just have to bodge it. The T4 engine is in need of work. As I have a spare T2 engine allso in need of work I might put the T2 in this bike as the T4 has a bad name.
Has any one a frame assembly illustration for the F/B 89? Like the one on this page. This is a James Commodore in the illustration.

hi marsh

cheers willie

Thanks Willie.
I have the inrtruction book for the 250cc 2T Cruiser but no frame assembly in it. The book is not as good as the James book.
Regards Marsh.

If you want the dent out take it to a body shop. There are tools that will make a temp spot weld to it attaching a small disposal bit that connects to a slide hammer that will get most of it out

Ken,
I don't think it's worth the cost. As the only parts that are original are the frame and the engine. And I don't think I like the engine!
I have now had a go at the part and I will try to post a photo. I think I will paint it like the James Commodore (I hope).
Regards Marsh
