Well since I have had no replies to my request for a 15 "1955 Ariel VH500 rear brake pedal lever, does anyone have the part number for it. I will have to look further afield. like Holland or the UISA I have had one reply from another site from a bloke who says he has 4???but it looks like he is...

Thank you for your solution What I was thinking of doing was getting a plate welded to the pedal itself,2.1/2 inches long, and biased to the left, to bring the lever out so my size 13 can at least press it down. Apparently the 15" curves,bows out to the left as well as being longer, so that wou...

Greetings all. I have a 1955 VH500, and I need a 15" rear brake pedal lever. The one fitted is only 13 inch, and too far back in the sole of mt foot to be effective. The footrest has been moved right back so the previous owner could operate it as well. I have a 13" one fitted which I am wi...

best of luck matey, I have found one for my VH after 5 months!!

for all those interested, I have tried and failed to find a folding kick start, Terry Weedy says he can, but that was 5 months ago. John Budgen, very helpful managed to supply me with a used one,

from the Ariel site on Facebook, I found Terry Weedy@Avery, who builds trial bikes pre 65, he can supply a folding kickstart for £100 , he machines them himself? that is about a £100 less than a Comet one on ebay?

for everybodys information, Terry Weedy @ Avery products can eventually machine a trials folding one for you,price , about £100,much cheaper than bidding on ebay for a Comet one?

hi i think you need to ring John Bugden he may be able help you with a folding kickstart and if you can get one that has a spring in folding part i keep meaning to look in to one for myself for my NH Hiya matey, tried googling it but nothing, can you give me a link to him, please? Ta Vaughan

thank you for the helpful suggestions.My concern was that if you can imagine, instep on footrest, kick start nestling nicely on the right calf muscle, the slightest nudge or minor fall off, is going to snap my right tibula and fibula like dry twigs, I,ll try the KS kick start I think, thanks again

will you listen to yourselves, all I asked was does anyone know where I can get a folding kick start, I,m 80 years old and |i live in retirementville, it,s hardly likely I,m going to have a lathe is it, let alone a major engine rebuild for the sake of a kick start ?? In my day I could kick and start...
