Keith's Model D Restoration

Keith had started restoring his Model D when after having trouble fitting the bodywork and tank, he decided to bring her into Scooter Surgery for our opinion.

After a thorough inspection we advised Keith that his D needed a complete engine rebuild - due to having been very poorly assembled in the past. Resulting in worn bearings, crank big end rattles, woodruff key slot is worn, shims are missing, clutch is worn, bevel gear is loose, oil seals are hard... the list goes on.
