Not an Ariel sprocket but can I ...
These two are off my Indian. Not cheap for a new one (and seems outof stock - so maybe not available) and both have plenty of life in them - unsure why the generator teeth are off, misalignment maybe ? Can I simply build up the broken tooth (one tooth on one, three on the other) with my Mig (with st...

Re: wng, noisy tappets or pushrods
Cannot tell much from a recorded noise. Mine were really rattly after checking usual clearances and lifter impact etc Local member suggested that a pushrod was hanging up in the rockerbox arm. He suggested swapping them over. Lo and behold one was. I opted to swap them and also to use grinding paste...

Re: WANTED - BAP speedometer driven gear
I fitted the kit from gearbox spares.
Carefully reduced the shaft down, on the lathe, to get a tight intererence fit for the new end. Not sure you can do it, without a lathe.
I think my box was originally PA as well.

Re: cylinder to head mating question - w/ng
... making a copper gasket as per John Nash's suggestion to sit on top of the spigot. Is there a particular type of copper which I should try and find? approx. 0.025" do you think? I got it from David Anderson, on the forum, here: http://forum.arielownersmcc.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=12399&...

Re: cylinder to head mating question - w/ng
I followed david Anderson's advice, when I had issues lapping a 500 iron head (the head would have needed a lot of lapping to get it onto spigot - likely due to mismatched parts from different places ) and made up a copper gasket to sit on the spigot. Seems to work

Re: Ariel Riding and Fixing 2023
The tree is usually down the bank a fair way, alongside the river. One of the cars is abandoned, prob after an aborted crossing. I was staring at it yesterday wondering if my wng would make it through .... in the end, I went round the very long way. Seems flooding is becoming common nowadays, for a ...

Re: cylinder to head mating question - w/ng
When you drop the head onto the barrel, without the pushrod tubes, pushrod or headbolts in, then it will sit on the raised spigot. You can rotate it 360 degrees- which you need in order to grind the joint to an airtight seal.
