Re: Arrow and Leader control cable lengths.

Look at drags website, cable lengths listed. It's OK for the 4-strokes but for the 2-strokes there are only lengths specified for two of the front brake cables (T1086 and T1168). However, on the Drags listings the cables change by Leader or Arrow, I can't see different lengths for different handleb...

Re: Coast Ride 2024!

Looking at the routes for the earlier runs I reckon that Bristol/Berkeley/Gloucester was just up the A38, so on the way to Tewksbury for the Annual I followed that, just to add in another section. (I had thought to maybe let this link up with Roger's trip and eventually let us claim a segment from N...

Re: Ariel Arrow / TZR250 crankshaft conversion

A forum search throws up a couple of mentions and possibly at least one person has previously considered using TZR 250 rods and pins. http://forum.arielownersmcc.com/viewtopic.php?p=44893 That was 'alanbrown' some 7 years back. The username was last active 6 years ago but it might be worthwhile tryi...

Re: Damaged oil pump

Those bushes don't have a register, maybe they weren't pushed in far enough to begin with! My '56 VH used to start pushing oil out of the drive-side breather after a minute or so if it was on the side-stand with the engine running. As with yours the return circuit (and pump) passed all the tests so ...
