Questions:
1- How can I know if it's a Red Hunter? Is it possible to know just with engine and frame number? And besides, if I find the gearbox number "G108"could I solve it?
2- What's the mechanical diference among NH350, NG350 and VCH350?

The motorcycle has the gearbox. I just didn't receive its identification, because the owner couldn't find it. I will try to find it. And more pictures, before the decision to buy it or not. Is this a good Ariel motorcycle to be restored? As I could't understand, this Is a NH350, not a VCH350 (red Hu...

Hello, I'm planning to buy an Ariel motorcycle, and I would like to know about it's data information. Frame number: SD274, engine number: TB131. I think it's related to a NH 1952 (is it a Red Hunter?), and if it's right it's gearbox, that I don't have the model, should be G108. Anybody could check i...

The rear wheel that I have, has a 14mm hole, but I think it's not the correct diameter.

Anybody knows the correct size (diameter)for the hole in the rim, for the inner tube valve? I need to refurbish it, and I would like to know the original diameter.
Ariel VB600 1951.
Best regards,
Luiz.

Bevan, nice pictures!
And beautiful motorcycle!
It's really very hard to find pictures like that.
I think it will help me lot! Thank you!

Luiz, Based on Paul's info, your bike left the factory about 5 weeks after mine, it has the same gearbox and should be pretty much identical. So if you want any specific photos or measurements etc of mine, let me know. Cheers, Bevan Hi Bevan, Photos would help me a lot. As I told, I bought this mot...

Hi Luiz, Here is a link to a folder of photos of my 1950 plunger framed VB, taken today: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1V2LapOdOu_FrInxL_UAdBx36xNxAbBy8?usp=sharing I do not know if it is "original" in all aspects; no doubt other more knowledgeable members of this forum could com...

Thanks Nev.
I really don't know why the frame number was obliterated, but it's easy to find this kind of trouble here in Brazil. A lot of motorcycles have the same trouble...
