OEM brass silent blocks GU30503600 Sport 1100i 96

Hi all,

I have sourced one OEM brass one, so only need 3 now!

The slight / light touch freshen up has taken me down Alice’s rabbit burrow. After finally grinding off the 2 seized ones, I bought 4 from Gutsi bits. They are copies and although the length overall is correct, the internal thread (that goes on the M5 thread on the clocks) is approx 2-3 mm too short. Leaves a massive gap to be filled and just isn’t right (I can be OCD like this hahaha). I don’t like to bodge things. I have phoned Ed and let him know they don’t fit correctly.

So, does anyone have any of the old brass ones lying around that I could exchange for the Queen’s head at all? I haven’t seen any King’s money yet :innocent:
cheers,
Hoppy
Edited the mm’s

Thanks for moving and my sincere apologies, I looked for parts but looked so hard I couldn’t see this!

Can the short thread be tapped out to take up the gap?

That’s my plan in the meantime yes, would be easier with a pillar drill.

That’s a good point. May be worth a shout for local Guzzista with a drill👍

Hopefully my son will drill out and tap it tomorrow for me

Result! That’s a return on your investment in him👍

If you are still wanting originals, they are available from Stein Dinse, although the postage may be more than the parts & they may get them from the same place as Gutsibts!
