Re: My heirloom '53 Square 4 Mk II: Help Needed

Thanks, fellas. Looks like MEK can be bought online. I'll call and run this by a mechanic who works at a local shop that specializes in old British bikes and is restoring a Square 4 himself. Will keep you updated on the progress! - Evan

Re: My heirloom '53 Square 4 Mk II: Help Needed

No snap connectors. I don't see anyway I will be able to snake the wires back through the mudguard without cutting them which I don't want to do. Tho perhaps it would be an easy job to solder them back together.... Looks like they have two heads at the end which serve as the point of contact for the...

Re: My heirloom '53 Square 4 Mk II: Help Needed

That was easy enough. Thanks, Will.

Now, I'm stuck trying to disconnect the wiring for the tail-light from the rear number plate. I removed the bulb and the nuts that held the number plate onto the mudguard.

Hey All - My dad passed down to me a 1953 Ariel Square 4 Mk II that he rebuilt from Basket Case to Concours from 1999 - 2017. I will be posting on this thread for some advice as needs be.
