I am not concerned about matching the calibration, I will figure that out later. I just want to make sure it fits my colt (the D shape). How much do you want for it?

I am rebuilding it but since it is nearly impossible to get an engine over here I have a different engine in it.... I want to keep most of the frame, etc stock though. Thanks for the tip on the speedo!

WTB Ariel Colt Speedometer

Does anyone have a working Ariel Colt speedometer? I haven't seen many around and none in America at all... Thanks,

I found a different source that said 1/3 pint so I went ahead and put that in. I already put in the 15W Fork oil. I guess I could drain it and refill it but I kind of want to see what happens.....I will let you know!

Just got back from England where I was able to get everything I needed as far as tools and seals etc. I got everything stripped down and cleaned on the front forks. I have another question, how much and what weight fork oil should I put back in? The manual say 1/4 pint which doesn't seem like enough...

That looks like a good idea too. I tried to get the chrome covers off and ended up ruining one and gave up on the other....the bike frame had been sitting out for so many years....I will just get new ones when I head over this week. Thanks for the inspiration on the tool building!

I guess I have one more quick question concerning the tool that was in the link.

Does the top fork tube 12728-54 fit through the middle of it? Thanks!

Re: Ariel Colt forks

These are the ones! I will be in England next week and was planning on checking ordering from dragonfly and having it sent to where I am staying. Is there anything else I should get besides new seals and that tool before I order? Thanks for your quick reply, I appreciate it!

Ariel Colt forks

Hello everyone! I am new to this forum...... Thanks in advance for your time! I am currently rebuilding the forks on an Ariel Colt. I have rebuilt Japanese bike forks numerous times but I cannot even get these forks apart! I ordered a manual but it didn't help at all. How do I get the forks apart? D...
