Ello Lads & Lassies,

I bought a 1992 3VD that seems to be in great nick.

Had a bit of a sprocket bolt/chain adjuster block interference.

I suspect the pictures below tell the story.

Never saw anything like it.

Thought it could be a source of amusement.

TTFN,

Ed

Oh dear. Previous own missed the adjuster altogether or just left it out. You'd think it'd take a good while to get that spacer through there.

That is what I thought at first. But I think it would take almost forever for a smooth spacer to cut thru 1.5mm of steel.

I suspect some rocket scientist decided it would be easier to remove and replace the rear wheel with a bit more clearance.

or maybe they just got a die grinder for Christmas and needed to do something with it.

I really appreciate that, but I should have one arriving within a couple days. There are a surprising number of them available on eBay. Where are you located if you don't mind me asking? Thanks for the offer.
