right then the mad man from LLP our lenny gave me one of his ole frames last night to restore.
many thanks len.another one to the collection

now len loves his back wheel slammed so cut the end off the rear tube the loon

.
can anybody get me a measurement of the said tube and where about the hole was in the end as its been 10mm drilled for a boa brake.
i know there were a few on here.a measurment would be cool if anybody has 5 mins to check it for me

heres the bit missing modified by our lenny

Can't help with the measurement Dave, is it a 1" Challenger?

Is that challenger stem for sale?

dordymush · « **Reply #2 on:** November 18, 2012, 11:03 PM »

no mark its one of the first 1/18th ones i think.
think its a 95 ?.
need to check so i can order stickers ready for it.

i was gonna use the challenger stem on this build mark as every other bike i got has a redneck on it.
if i dont use it mucka i'll give ya a shout

Mmmmmm. That is my fav rear end on any of the Challengers. The canti cable stop mounted on the wishbone

Here's one I got for a mate a few years ago. Im pretty sure he still has it.

dordymush · « **Reply #8 on:** November 19, 2012, 12:08 PM »

im gonna take it with me today to see steve animal to try and get it repaired.
no way you could get him to drop a tape on it for me is there alex

they must be the right stickers for it too.
i bet del dont have them fookers

.
i seen one on the museum with the yellow ones on it with like the tape measure sticker on the top tube. did they use them on these too as i think del has them.
not doing well with stickers for these bloody frames

SaMAlex · « **Reply #9 on:** November 19, 2012, 12:23 PM »

I dont see the dude very often but I can try for ya. Might take a while, he aint often in the UK $:-\$

I think Del has these stickers. He made the same ones for my 1997 24" challenger.
(Mine doesnt have the cable stop on the wishbone, its got an inner guide going round the seat clamp

)

dordymush · « **Reply #10 on:** November 19, 2012, 03:56 PM »

i'll try a few names that have posted pictures up of em as well to see if i can get a measurement.
bonus if dels got the proper sticker

i'll pm him now.
cheers alex.

just measured my mk1 and from the seatube to the end of the brake mount tube is 5 and a half inches and the brake hole is 5mm from the end of the tube

dordymush · « **Reply #12 on:** November 19, 2012, 05:06 PM »

cheers kev

.
i'll get that written down and get steve on the job for me

kev-s · « **Reply #13 on:** November 19, 2012, 06:34 PM »

get a couple of other challenger owners to double check, as there maybe a difference in length on different/later versions

dordymush · « **Reply #14 on:** November 19, 2012, 07:24 PM »

will do.
just made a paper template to push in the hole and that size looks about right.

Nice one Dords

Stripped down and ready for welding already.

I knew I'd sent it to right new owner

Good luck with the build Brother.
