.002/.004 for crank. Presumably you are asking this question because you are building an engine without recourse to the manual? There were never any torques settings given for the head but you are crazy to build a MKI without using Otto gaskets that should include a 3 page discourse on torquing the ...

Bare aluminium, buffed outer cases and no spacers

Draganfly did run an exchange service of re-bored pumps, although very few need that service, as Dick says, most pumps need new balls, springs and a re-seating of the balls. Oil pumps don't tend to wear unless full of grit as they run in oil. Most Triumph pumps have the plungers the oppositte way ro...

Just to be clear, I am old, but not yet 92!

Eyeballs still vibrating from riding the SB all the way to Germany and back?

I don't know what you mean, my SB is as smooth as silk

The pipes are unique to the 1932 VG and there isn't a drawing of them in the archives.

Sorry you ask for VG not SG, my bad reading.

You should have been at the recent Sloper rally, it was really quite good, i am sure you could have borrowed some from one of the very nice people there. Sorry I only have an SB (Slow Bike).

Ariel did occasionally use up a few of last year's parts or from the next year but it was only a few and not as widespread as people think. If your bike is 1950 it should have a triangular tank panel with an oil gauge at the bottom, closest to the rider. 1951 there is no gauge, the timing chest was ...

I don't bother with the 'worry' gauge on a single as they need very little oil to function and certainly not at any pressure. The usual failure is caused by a bit of dirt in the return side of the pump that will not show up on a gauge that after the novelty has worn off we all forget to look at, usu...

There may be the odd flywheel missing from my list. Drawing A7/856 dates to 1947 so A7/836 will be earlier. When and if you find it let me know where and I will amend the listing.
