I started work on an early 3C today. It is a pre-oil cooler, big headlamp (200mm instead of 180mm) but it has front disc brakes, not the highly desirable drum front brake version.
It's surprising how many subtle differences there are between this and later 180 triples. Brackets, casings, electrics and so on.
I had to get the inner alternator cover welded up as the threads were broken, and now I am fitting a new wiring loom.
It would have been great to shine this one up like the others but the remit is only to rewire it.
I will take some better pics tomorrow, only boring wiring pics so far to remind me what goes where.
