Not sure about the pile of washers option on the back mount.
Just don't look right when you consider engine twist/torque, is on those thin bolts and not being supported by the bulk of the mounting alloy block.
Keep options open to have the plate on the front down tube and drill a hole method, unfortunately.
Was you supplied with a thin plate or a thick plate,
(the one with 3 holes in the kit) ?
The extra gasket is there to space theclutch cover a bit more from the clutch's star adjust nut.
I have to use 3 gaskets, cos the inside of the cover is marked when the engine revs.
I guess it was cheaper to use less alloy and add more gaskets for correct clearance between the clutch adjust nut and the inside of the cover.
The washers are only for working out spacing. I will (if I proceed with this frame) work out something more solid.
Theres a few problems with this frame:
* brakes (or lack there of)
* potential fatigue due to my cold setting
* crank clearance
The fatigue is prbably not a problem, as it was only a small amount I cold set it by,
The brakes however, could be an issue. MTB brakes dont reach the rim, when using this fork, and all the mtb forks are too short in the stem, so my options are limited.
Crank clearance. I can probably shave the cranks slightly, taking a few mm off them, giving enough clearance.
I'm still looking for a more suitable frame, but in the mean time, if this works out, then it'll do!
I do like the shape of those bars though!
