Re: Inlet valve wanted for 1929 OHV Model F 'Black Ariel'

I'd just grind the end off. Making stuff fit the older bikes is part and parcel of ownership.

Re: I might have found an HT3

I hadn't looked at the Brno show pics, but just have. That looks proper. No over restored bikes from what I can see, just good used examples.

But we are taking things off topic...

Re: I might have found an HT3

Sammy Miller recently restored a 1957 HT3, it appears on a couple of his YouTube videos. It sold at Bonhams last November for £7300 hammer price. Sammy says: When we bought the bike it was 100% original and not modified in any way. We decided to do a total restoration as you would never find a 100%...

Re: 1927 ariel burman q clutch

Just one thing - they are not 1/4 x 1/4 rollers (as I found out when sorting my 1928 clutch). They are 1/4 x I think...15/64 (definitely an odd number).

Re: Wrong 1904 Ariel

And when, in 5...10...20 years time that info is lost it will become original and rare

Re: Wanted - Pushrod for 52 VH

Wise words - I have two other long pushrods - I'll see how they fit on the bike. As far as I know its a standard cam in the engine (been a while, can't remember the number). Worst case I can get some tube and make a longer one.
Thanks.

Wanted - Pushrod for 52 VH

Hello all I've started to put my 52 VH back together but, as ever, some of the carefully stored parts have gone AWOL...I'm missing a pushrod for an iron engined VH. Drags website says its 11 7/16" length (to inside of the cup), which oddly enough matches the one I have. But two would be better....
