    Put in an additional teflon washer and it seems to work, thanks again for your help. Now if only I could find those IRC raised white letter tires, I'd be set.

    Got the screw out without drilling and have it all apart. It appears the only possible friction element is a dished flat washer which relies on pressure from the machine screw. Will have to find a thicker dished washer as the screw bottoms out on the housing before enough pressure can be...

    It's gonna be a challenge, that machine screw head is pretty much toast. Might have to drill it out. Thanks for your quick reply.

    So I finally got around to cleaning up the GTO and have found that the shifter won't hold the deraileur in position; I assume it's a friction shifter? The .... center cap screw is stripped and I can't tighten it any more.

    Just joined having found some good info re: Sekine GTO. See the "My Little GTO" thread for some pictures of the stuff my son and I have been working on recently. We have no problem accumulating but seem to have issues with selling .. primarily CCM, cruisers, "vintage" mtb, klunkers etc...

    Aww too bad you don't have that contact number, if I could get those tires and maybe some of the plastics that would be killer. The decals on this one are mostly shot too. Also I should go and post that intro you mentioned .. Jeff

    Finally figured out the pictures, crappy iphone photo though. For some reason this doesn't work at work .. Got the GTO here in Victoria BC Canada. My first bike after I broke my CCM Mustang was a Sekine 10 spd so this one brings back memories. Hoping to find those "Special Fine-Tires" somewhere .

    Hi there Thanks for replying, I haven't had time to look at the GTO yet but the one I have is missing the lights and radio etc, basically all the plastic. We couldn't figure out what the kooky looking racks were for till we did the interweb research and yours popped up. Not sure why it's so...

    I just got one of these minus all the bells and whistles. Pretty rough but should clean up nicely. Can't seem to figure out how to post a picture though.
