Re: Wanted a PA speedo for a 1946 Sq4

Looks like there is one on eBay at the moment if your pockets are deep enough…

Re: SQ4 breather pipe

That’s a question for Sean O’Brien, but I don’t think there is much

Re: Side Valve rally

I wish I could make it as it is one of the events I enjoy the most. Unfortunately I will not get back from Poland until the Saturday afternoon as I am travelling for work, so will have to miss it this year.

Re: !943 Red Hunter for sale with trader

Hi Pete, Girder forks and front hubs are very rare, and subsequently very expensive. If you need to re-blade them that also adds expense. The headlight is also a larger diameter, and the mudguard is different too, although you will probably get away with just making a new stay. All in all, dependent...

Re: Plug caps

Re: W/NG 350 pitiful oil return on tickover

Sounds normal to me. You get a slightly better return with a morgo pump but not necessary unless you are running very high compresssion (which I am)

Re: Clutch Pressure Plates

My square four had a ball in it when I looked at the clutch. I removed it and fitted a pressure plate I got from Geoff. Dad then told me that certain models had a ball at both ends. I ended up rebuilding it with a new pushrod, had the same problem as you so cut the pushrod in half and put a ball in ...
