    Had trouble installing piston dust seal, found the best way is to first install the seal onto the bottom on the brake piston and then install the other side of the seal into the caliper body while holding the piston just outside the piston bore, a little persuasion with a plastic tool helped to get it seated. Then slide the piston into the caliper until it bottoms out and the dust seal will automatically be pushed into the piston groove on the top. It's hard to explain but if anyone has struggled with this they will know what I mean.

    Did you grease the seals?

    SF-3 works great

    I used a silicone spray on the seals and synthetic grease for the slider pins.

    Hey phantomtracer, I just happened across these photos that were taken of a new Tecate in our design studio . . I posted the link so you can see the color of the plating on some of the parts in case you still need that info.

    Thanks, I have been referring to them often.

    Here is the finished shock with recently powder coated spring



    Here is the newly painted swing arm.



    I'm about to mount the engine into the frame. Can't wait.

    Looks like you are missing the "Ref.Frame Fitting" so yeah two metal plates are missing from this picture.
