are those Vintco copies of the original Fox air shocks?
Bluelion : Why the 1" for the top nut?
Were the Simons made with Imperial sizings, or, a mixture of that and metric?
I know they were called 38s, or were they actually 38.1mm (1.5") OD?
Closest I ever got to them was unpacking a couple of Aberg Repica kits the company I worked for in the late 70s / early 80s brought in.
My Fox 44s, were /are Metric, though I think some internal parts / dimensions ( as still, so many things will use, which can be a surprise / problem at times) . I think the 'special tool', to undo the bottom damper rod caps, was / is nothing but an imperial sized bit of square tubing - I can't get to the 44s to confirm (but I welded 2 Allen keys to it for an easy to use tool for them the second I got the 44s) as they hang behind my lathe, out of my 'limited' reach.
Oh, and that curved lower rear engine mount tube - was that originally to accommodate a down pipe, in the model lines history?

Yes, The Simons forks were made with American standards.
Now to build the wheels.
I have the wheels completely taken apart. The hubs are ready for sandblasting.
Starting to install the plastic front and rear fenders permanently installed the side panels just test fit. The front number plate is also a test fit.
The hubs, break plates, and miscellaneous small items are sandblasted, primed, and painted.
Time to lace up the wheels tonight. Still waiting on new tires to get here.
What spoke sets are you using for the build?
I’m using spoke sets from Vintage Avenue. I like them. They seem to be a very well-made. Spoke that fit properly.
The wheels are laced up and Trude. Ready for tires.
I’ve got a lot of the small parts laid out ready to install onto the bike.
I was able to get the controls on, clutch lever, brake lever, Throttle, kill switch and the grips.
The brakes are done and ready to go. The wheels are done and ready for tires.

that's gonna be too purdy to get dirty riding when it's done.
Brand New dirt bikes are always too pretty to go out and get them dirty but we all do it.
