Re: Rear Wheel axle position adjustment
I have a NOS adjuster available if you want one.
In my experience, these threads eventually suffer from rust and seize up. Freeing off from this may well be the cause of your problem. So make sure that the thread is suitably protected with copper grease or similar when you re-assemble.

Re: GB gearbox
I had a 1957 NH where the previous owner had filled the GB box with grease, just the same as he had done on his earlier Ariels. It worked perfectly well.

Re: Ariel square 4 maintenance
With an oil filter in the return line I have gone over 20,000 miles without checking the sludge traps. I know of people who have done much more than that but I don't know their frequency of oil changes, how clean the engine was inside when it was rebuilt, etc.

Re: '56 NH350 gearbox crack
If the gearbox is for a 56 bike, then the 54 mainshaft will be the wrong length. The different lengths are fully explained in the Drags catalogue and under Gearbox in the Ariel 4-stroke part of their website. Someone will do you a straight swop, I would expect. The GB5 gearbox is the same as the GB6...

Re: Replica Speedometers
Go to your local bicycle shop and get one of theirs to mount on the handlebars. This is the cheapest and most accurate option. The problem you face with a speedo driven from the gearbox is that the PA type used prewar (and in 1946/7) have the drive at right angles to the case ie parallel to the face...

Square Four oilways - a new way to block them
I was working on a Mk I front crank today and, as is my practice, I put the crank into the parts washer and applied the pump hose to the drillings. These I make sure are scrupulously clean by means of a variety of tiny bottle brushes. Starting with the hose pumping cleaning solution in through one s...

Re: New member - looking for spares.
I have a slightly worn sliding member, spring and cap (but no nuts) which would probably cope perfectly well with the power of the 250. You might get a better one at the AGM and I can take this one to the AGM for you so you can compare what is available. I don't have a spare valve lifter assembly bu...
