I used a modified C12 film back that gives me 24 56x23mm exposures. Feel free to ask any questions about the modification or process.
S.E.V. Marchal distributor. Citroen GS X2.
Modification to make adjustment of points simpler.
Cassette points are not set by gap, but by dwell angle. On early versions of the SEV Marchal distributor, adjustment was by removal of cap (and sometimes body, given its location) and to turn the thumbscrew a by clicks in either direction depending on dwell angle required. Later versions had a hole in the body in which a 3mm allen key was inserted making cap removal unnecessary.
Hole viewed from side with allen key inserted.
S.E.V. Marchal distributor. Citroen GS X2.
Cassette points adjustment hole enlarged and plastic cut at edge. The was done as the intial hole was drilled slightly too high as the plastic insert had moved up very slightly.
Not much was gained from this modification, whilst an allen key could be inserted into the distributor without moving it, the cap clip on that side had to be removed as it was partially blocking access to the hole!
Makes you want to throw it in the bin and buy a 123ignition (if they did one that fitted, which they presently don't, but I live in hope)
My prop is back from its adjustment. They've actually cut a dish shape out rather than a concentric recess (which is what I asked for) but this is essentially the same as the original BMW design so should work fine.
das böse zerbrechen dieser porösen Plastikscheiben bei den Gelenken,habe ich durch diesen Umbau behoben..
that nastily break of these porous plastic discs with the joints, I have repaired by this rebuilding.
No, it's my new air horn! :) It is loud as hell, I mean REAL loud. I like it... a lot! :)
I removed the license plate - plate, and mounted it on the lower two mounting holes, and drilled out the top center hole for the license plate - plate, to mount the air horn on. Details you won't understand unless you had one.
Anyway, I mounted mine on the rear license plate position because it was easier. It has the added advantage of being directed at tail gaters... one of my personal pet peeves - ESPECIALLY when I am on my scooter! This auta help out in those situations. :)
My buddy installed his IN his front fender. His logic was that he wanted it directed forward. I think it is loud enough it matters not, but his is definitely directed forward, and mine is definitely directed back. His has the drawback of being dangerous if it comes loose while cookin' down the freeway. He will have to install a secondary system to make sure that it is securely fastened to the fender, in case the primary bolt doesn't hold it on.
Probably a modification from after preservation, methinks.
Inspired by Lee Baxter's fantastic b/w photo of 1219's warning label.
This setup securely sits inside the globe to allow moving and clutching without having to dismantle the globe each time.
I mounted lock nuts and did some fine adjustments, then test mounted them once more on the bike som see that everything was allriight, then I undid one nut at a time and applied thread glue and then tightened them back again. That's that!
