Re: NH camshaft in W/NG

Thank you both for your remarks.
I have a spare "4 hole" cam wheel I could press onto the cam to be safe.
Perhaps Paul can answer the question on differing profiles on F cams.
Cheers.

Re: NH camshaft in W/NG

Nev and Simon, To pursue the conversation on the small base, twin lobe cam, the A7/642. Mine is mounted on a cam wheel that has no balance holes. The photo in Cheval, May 2008 shows this cam mounted to a cam wheel having balance holes. Which cam wheel would be correct for this cam or does it matter?...

Re: Wanted: Lucas DU 142 8 inch headlamp

Hi Ian,
I have as surplus this early Lucas, 8" brass shelled headlamp painted and ready to use. I think it is a DU142 but stand to be corrected.
I live in BC, Canada

You will often see similar Smiths 8 Day clocks on e-bay but they have much deeper bodies that the motorcycle ones.

Re: Ariel WNG unobtainable front brake shoes

W/NG steel shoes - from rear wheel. 6 3/8"" as marked in red on last photo. These do look quite different from the photos posted above, so unlikely they fit W/NG front wheel. You can see how the shoe ends were fabricated for the rear. IMG_3478.jpg IMG_3477.jpg IMG_3476.jpg IMG_3475.jpg IMG...
