Mito 443 Project
Discussion
Finally got the subframe fitted up, genuine featherlight ally TZ250 yam subframe and seat unit.
There was no way to fit the seat to a mito subframe and obviously a TZ250 subframe doesn't just fit a mito so I decided the best thing would be to essentially design my own fitting kit... So a 5KE TZ250 subframe now just bolts straight up and the advantage of that is the subframe is well hidden where the mito one would've been largely visible. That and it weighs naff all.
May not seem like a big step but this now means the motor can come out and be built. I didn't wanna dismantle it all without sorting this as it's impossible to know where the seat wants to be without using the pipes for reference.
Hopefully I can pick up the fast progress I made at the start of the project now.

Mixed day....
Stripped the stty old paint off the cases which took forever, popped a new gear arm bush and seal in and new clutch arm needle roller and seal. Replaced all bearings on the gear clusters. All going well until I decided to drill a small hole in my hand. Well the drill snapped and subsequently I slipped and it went straight into my knuckle.
So I'm sat in a&e probably pointless but I don't have a current tetanus jab and to be fair my hand is throbbing like fk. Ah well, at least what I did looks good.
All bearings are up rated, the box ones are the ones TSS used to do. The front sprocket bearing is a 11 ball max load bearing, same as what I'm using on the crank mains... Standard are 7 ball.
My cylinders are with mick abbey being ported to the port map the pipes were designed for. Hopefully have the bottom end built this week.
