Re: DVLA registration request very slow

I had a similar situation with a 1958 BSA C15 that had a A plate registration as its original number had been sold off in the 1980's.

Re: Thorspark Electronic Ignition advice.

Hi Dennis, I fitted a Thorspark kit to my 1946 Square 4 a couple of years ago after the mag started playing up. What a difference it made, easy starting and running lovely.

Re: BSA Hard chrome fork stanchions

All seems OK to me. Still got to fit that pesky circlip, and my FH will have brand new forks. You could always do away with those pesky clips and do what BSA and Triumph did which was replace them with the crushable spacer BSA 68-5134 or Triumph 97-2643.
