Not ideal but itll look alright when its on.
can you drill the links that line up with the sprocket teeth so they fit on to it?Engine/gearbox in the frame, had to open out the mounting holes on the engine as they were too small for the 1.4mm screws.
As you can see from the picture the drive chain does sit properly on the sprocket, you have to fit the chain before fitting the swingarm as the chain is one continuous length as is the primary chain and here comes the problem....................
Engine sprocket, chain and clutch assembly.
Primary chain.
The chain has no slots in it to fit over the sprocket teeth so I will have to reduce almost half the teeth on both sprockets to make it look like the chain is fitting as it should, a job for another day as I have has enough of this tonight.

Not really as the chain is made from some stretchy rubber like material and it is very thin.can you drill the links that line up with the sprocket teeth so they fit on to it?
As a lifetime motorcyclist I know about the Jampot shocks, what I should have said is that the quality and fit of the shock parts are not good.The rear shocks look bulky because they are meant to be AJS's own "jampot" units rather than the "girling" type fitted to almost every other brand of bike.
They otherwise look not too bad. I have seen far worse on some of these old kits.

No need to be sorry for anything mate as all comments are welcome and as I said I sort of worded it wrong probably giving the impression I did not know what jampots were when what I really meant that the parts were poorly made and fitted out.Sorry about the misunderstanding, certainly not trying to be in any way clever. As I said above, I have seen worse. Looking forward to the rest of the build.
