Camshaft bushings UL1200 1938

#1

Post by Linus »

Hello, my name is Linus and I am writing to you from Germany. I own a Flathead UL1200 from 1938 and I am currently overhauling the engine. I am also changing the camshaft bushings, as they were worn out. I have the tool to ream the bushes in the engine housing and for the two front cams.I am looking for a reamer for the rear inlet cam, the rear exhaust cam and the crankshaft journal in the cover. Can anyone point me in the right direction?And I have one more question. Are the tools shown in the service manual with a Harley Davidson article number still available somewhere and is there a key from the old article numbers to the new ones? Many thanks in advance!

Linus,

WW cycles have various reamer sizes.

I have some hand reamers here at home,

If you have a size, I can look at the ones that I have and see if I have the one you need and I can let you borrow it.

I am in Bayern, near Iphofen.
