Hahaha . I am very much in touch with Peter and he has been a great help to me, and very generous lending me several parts to copy . A proper chap indeed. But sadly he doesnt have the early chain case or the early kickstart as they only ran for 1 year from 1913 through 1914 before being superseded t...

Anyway, looking at...

Can anyone help with some parts for my 1914 Restoration please? I need a better set of forks, these are the Druids or replacement blades please. Mine are very poor and pitted. Identifiable as they have a thicker section in the middle adjacent to the spring. Also, the early external kickstart quadran...
