Wanted tappet screws VB600

Morning , Does anyone have a couple of tappet adjuster screws, part no 1815_26 in good condition for a VB600, both mine are quite dished making accurate valve clearance impossible? Can they be resurfaced & hardened? I'm using the bike to commute to work this year would be nice to have the engine...

Re: Wanted Petrol Tank for late 50's VB

I've just placed an order for something very similar last week to try; the technology/price is improving every 6months or so.
I used to make my own but it's not worth it now as they're so cheap.

Still after a good tank if anyone can help?

Wanted Petrol Tank for late 50's VB

Morning. Can anyone help? My 1958 VB tank has started leaking + seeping again despite a very expensive renovation by Hartlepool Radiators a few years ago. I think there's more filler than metal holding it all together, so I'm on the lookout for a good tank of any late, non-fluted model. Are the Indi...

Re: Head Steady Clamps Huntmaster

It's the fixing that clamps around the frame down tubes that I'm after. Draganfly's appear to suit 25 mm diameter whilst my old,
(broken) ones are nearer 28.5mm.
Is there an alternative ?

Head Steady Clamps Huntmaster

Morning.
Wondering if anyone has a pair of spare clamps for a Huntmaster for sale?
Bought some from Draganfly recently but these are too small.
Thanks. Mike

FERC Chain case

Having a clear out + found an unused fibreglass rear FERC chainguard as supplied new by Draganfly. I've put it on Ebay at a starting price of 99p - just search Ariel FERC + you should find it.

Re: Wanted - Huntmaster inlet pushrod

Evening. My Huntmaster suffered the same fate after being rebuilt by an "experienced engine builder"; I finally found the cause after a full strip down - valve springs being coil bound on full cam lift. It caused allsorts of problems from being very difficult to kick over to ruining camsha...

Re: Restored Petrol Tank

Morning.
I did send mine back, but regretted it as soon as I spoke to Stan whose attitude was appalling. I was only too pleased to get it back intact.
I'm thinking about one of tbe Indian tanks on Ebay, but nobody seems to know if they're good or bad.
Might even try painting it myself .
Regards. Mike

Re: Restored Petrol Tank

Morning. Hartlepool Radiators did my tank 3 years ago for £400, had to send it straight back for repainting - it had runs, scratches, lumps + bumps. Started to blister after 2 1/2years + is now lifting off the seams - sent it back to them for examination only to be told "What do you expect afte...
