Re: Single flywheel A7-836

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.

Re: 1920 Ariel

There is little difference between 1919 and 20 as far as i can see it is only the tank transfers, if I remember correctly and your bike has the later ones. Currently browsing a motorcycle museum in Chemnitz.

Re: ARIEL VG500 Drawing

I am glad to hear that you do not intend to restore the bike. What is 'OEL'? All parts, fittings and complete pipes are available. Oil pressure gauges are a specialist repair really, apart from basic cleaning. Sealing the fittings is a matter of using plumber's PTFE tape or other thread sealant, Wel...

Re: 350 NH carburation

Nev - agreed undoubtable better but not quite as original. A Honda engine is better but only one person I know has replaced his Ariel engine with one. I use a MKII Amal on my sporty 500 , which is even better but even less original.
