Just to finalise the thread regarding my search for a Lucas MCR2 regulator cover clip. I could not find a source of replica parts anywhere, there are a few originals around but sometimes it could be easier buying an old regulator just for the clip if you need one. I am grateful for the offer of a NO...

Yes, we overdose on road salt but the bike was in a shed for many years before it became my project and I’m not sure how much salt was used in the 1960s. Oh yes, the shed had a very leaky roof and whilst it looked ok outside water got into the engine through the carb and an open valve also into the ...

Thanks for the offer Chris, the height dimension should be 2 1/2” inside the hooks to inside the curved part that clips on the cover. The width should be 3” from centre to centre on the sides. I think your spare may be too tall? I’m going to try to make something but not looking forward to bending p...

I have removed the parts and fitted an electronic replacement as these have worked well for me on other bikes. Problem is that I do not have the U shape spr...

Thanks Johnny, I’m just getting up to speed with all of the changes. I think I’m there now but just found out that my 2016 AOMCC dating certificate will not work at DVLA, it needs to be less than a year old so I have to start again.

Thanks for that Paul, I will check it..

My 1950 NH project is moving along quite well so I am preparing the paperwork for the DVLA to obtain an age related number for the bike. The notes I received some time ago from various sources suggest that a valid insurance cover note should be included with the submission, although I thought I read...
