Looks great - keep posting your pics as it progresses.
I should prbably take some photo’s of mine (but it’s not nearly so clean!).
Cheers,

There’s some interesting stuff on the Ducati Owners Club of Canada website on How to build a Vintage Ducati Racing Single
http://www.docc.ca/singles/
It’s a narrow case 250 project.
Some nice pics - I might do a short fairing like the one they’re using when I get to that bit of my rebuild.
Cheers,
Roger
Photos and progress would be most welcome for the mag!

It’s starting to look like a bike!
I like tank with the clear strip - must get myself one of those some time.
I’ve got my engine in, swinging arm with new bushes (and spindle borrowed from one of my road bike projects), wheels with new tyres, taper rollers in the steering head, rebuilt steering damper, etc, etc.
At this rate I might even get to make a start on a spare engine!
Looking forward to the season starting.
Cheers,
Roger

Yes, as soon as I get around to geting them off the camera and onto some website or another.
I’m hardly getting any time to do anything at the minure - really busy at work then doing Scouts, my bike, my mates Benelli, etc, etc.
Keep nagging at me and I’ll get it done sooner or later.
Cheers,
Roger
Do you measure endfloat (for shimming) using a dial gauge or plastigauge?
I’m brewing up towards building a spare (road spec) engine and I’m nearly ready to shim it.

Hi Roger,
I always use a Dial Guage to check end float on the shafts.
I use Plastigauge when checking the clearance of the bigends on the plain/shell bearing motors.
Soft solder for the squish clearence, which’s then measured with a Micrometer.
Plasticine in the valve pockets.
