Hi All, A friend is looking for a '39 Square Four Frame. He would prefer a plunger model (frame prefix "AX") but would be interested in a rigid model (frame prefix "P") also. He purchased his project bike as a basket case but unfortunately the frame is a single model. Can anyone ...

It's on that Accounts Spreadsheet I was telling you about Paul. It's a S467/3/L, 1660 turns per mile. At least, that is correct for 1951 - 1950 should have the same speedo in the top yoke I think? Hi Simon, I presume the speedo is the same for the VH. Is that correct? What is the spreadsheet you sp...

Spent most of today, a wet Sunday fortunately, with a file in my hand getting the platform level...my mate with his bloody gas torch again Adrie ;) I was concerned the gearbox might move so added a lump of steel to each end of the platform...

See you at Banbury at least. Cheers Huw Huw, What veteran do you own? I'd be interested to see some photo's if that's possib...

...am I correct in saying the difference between a '29 and a '28 hub and brakeplate is that the '28 fixes the brake torque arm to the plate to the rear of the forks, sharing the same pressed drum? Does the 1930 bike use a cast drum and hub and the brakeplate has a dust cover on its outer edge?...ch...

Adrie, You are very right regarding your observations of the '29 with sheep skin etc. Allan the owner, is a keen Arielist and rides this bike everywhere in...

Cool. Thanks David. You can see what I had to put up with while waiting for a reply.. Kangaroo jokes. Will be cricket next.. :roll: The VG is a beauty. Also some nice VB's. Is that half of a 27 Model C? By the way, the secret with sons (if you are in front), is to ride fairly hard, then faff around...

Hi All,
Can anyone please tell me the correct diameter of the pushrods to suit a '48 Twin? Apparently, they were unique to that year. Does anyone have a spare set lying around in the shed please? A friend is in need of these to complete his project.
Many thanks.
Regards,

John.
