FOUR HOURS OF SPA CLASSIC

Article I came across through my usual sources, great to see the classic endurance machines in use and virtual print.

FIOR SONAUTO YAMAHA ENDURANCE RACER

WHISKEY NEEDS YOUR ASSISTANCE

I need to source this grommet and sleeved washer (my terminology). I
have no idea what they are from, most likely Yamaha but could be
Suzuki. Manufacturer doesn't matter, just similar specifications -
need for a project and these are from a coffee can of accumulated
motorbike bits and bobs I had on hand.

Grommet is approximately 18mm across.

Sleeved washer is approximately 14mm across, 8mm deep (length that
goes through grommet), and would fit a M6 bolt or so.

Post a comment if you have ideas. I just need direction like 'try a
side panel from a 1982 Seca 550 J' and I'll try to cross reference
your direction to a microfiche.

Cheers, WHISKEY

Another type of motorbike / racing I am not usually well versed enough in to have as content but this is a great photograph I had to share. Again, IIRC via Sideburn.

Speedway

A little outside of my scope but a nice photograph nonetheless. IIRC via Sideburn(?).

Some older photographs, but you get the idea. These guys have great shipping and customer service. Cool kit if you have a machine it will work on.
