Hi
I've had success removing stuck rings by soaking the piston in acetone - just leave it in soak and eventually the ring expands a little under it's own elasticity, once it begins to move I speed the process by exercising it. Not had to break one yet.

Warming is a must in my opi...

Isn't 0.435" more likely to be 7/16", (0.437")?

Hi
As stated above, 1/2" CEI / BSC is normally 20 TPI - surely it's easier to use this thread with the matching 'correct' nuts

Hi
My 58 FH had, what I believed to be original paintwork in many places and by comparison it matched RAL 3007, (Blackred).

Re: Which Shocks
Hi I haven't ridden the bike yet but the dampers are certainly damping on the rebound and showed no signs of leakage so fingers crossed. Not sure why your spring is stuck, mine are an easy fit over the body and into the lower slider - maybe check your spring diameter and gauge - I'm sure it will fre...

Hi
My priority would be to match the dimensions of the original Armstrong ones. Do you have yours? if not I can measure mine.

Re: Kick start lever
Hi
Shouldn't the pinch bolt locate in the annular groove in the shaft and prevent the lever coming off? I'd confirm the pinch bolt is the correct diameter and not worn. Also check the lever is of the correct design.
