Just for the record, Bennetts will ask you if you are a member of any clubs and AOMCC is on their list. However, it makes no difference to your premium, as I suspected. Why bother asking then?

HI welcome to the forum, have you joined AOMCC OR just joined the forum , you need to be a member AOMCC to get a discount you need to have a membership number ( if you have joined the club you will need to get onto the club and get registered ) Yes John. I've been a member or AOMCC for about a week...

I'm sure it's been covered before but didn't have much success with the forum search. I've just acquired my first Ariel and it happens to be close to my insurance renewal date. I had it added on to my current insurance (Bennetts). I have a Triumph Street Triple and the Ariel Huntmaster I've just bou...

Another useful link there Steve. Yep mine's an 8-0-8 Simes. Thanks everyone. I'm on it.

For what it's worth, ammeters aren't voltage-specific. I reckon on setting Lucas control boxes to around 7.2v. Yes, actually that's true isn't it regarding ammeter being independent of voltage. Are you referring to the charging voltage being 7.2v? I don't think this bike has a Lucas regulator and n...

:) Right I've just had another look at it in better light and the sub-panel can be unscrewed from the main headlight housing. However, It can't be pulled out from beneath the yoke and headlight unless I unbolt the headlight and drop the loom down. However, as I'm not messing with the light switch it...

Here you go. That's a repro ammeter - original ones don't have the clamp bracket, but are retained by tabs on the rim as has been said. Yes that looks like mine (or at least the subpanel shape looks correct. On mine it doesn't look like a separate panel but, like you say, it might have been painted...

Have you got a picture of it on your bike please Simes?

Ian In your situation probably best to take the headlight out first (the single screw at the top will loosen the retaining clip and the headlight will come off with the rim - might need a bit of gentle persuasion, but the rim comes off from the top first). You can then get a fairly good look at the...

Here you go. The light switch sits underneath the speedo on the top of the headlamp housing. Doesn't have the panel like the newer Huntmasters.
