DSC_0830.JPG Graeme, I had the same issue when I was building my 1948VH with a panel tank. I found a waterproof GPS speedometer on ebay intended for motorcycles and boats costing about £35-. The diameter is 85mm which is slightly bigger than the hole in the panel but easily remedied. The unit stand...

Malcolm, I'll look forward to seeing you at our Lancs Branch meetings in the new year. If you email John Duckworth he can add you to the Branch mailing list for reminders about our meetings and details of local events that might be of interest.

Thanks to all in the AOMCC for the help along the way and particular thanks to Pete Kemp for al...

Paul, your post about Tim Healey and powder coating brought back a memory from the mid to late 1980's when I was in the process of restoring a collection of parts acquired from Denys Wilkinson that finally came together in 1997 as my much loved 1946, rigid and girders NH. I took the frame for powder...

Alan, Thanks for your reply and suggestions. I'm afraid that I can't supply any useful photos for the purpose of identification as the bike came to me in large chunks as Steve, who I bought it off, had limited storage space so partially dismantled the bike to fit it into the available space. When I ...
