Re: Frame and swingarm compatibility.
Drags (Roger) have a doc that details the differences between the BSA and Ariel versions of the '56 full-width alloy hub.
(I've stolen it and put it into a 'HowTo' in the members' area 'Howtos' section. )

Re: Lots of white smoke - W/NG
It'll take as long as it needs to clear depending on how much is in the sump! (Although minutes rather than hours, maybe around 5 if that helps).
Alternatively loosen the sump plate bolts and drain off what's in there.....

Re: Lots of white smoke - W/NG
Is the oil returning to the tank as frothy bubbles/little spurts or a constant stream? If the latter there's a lot in the sump which will cause smoke until it clears. (As an aside - I'm sure you're running the bike on the rear stand - my VH would smoke like billy-oh after a few minutes on the side s...

Re: My NH 350 Piston
For info, those are the exact original equipment pistons Ariel used for the alloy head 350s.
Back in the mid 1970s Writers had a 'bin' full of them for £5.00 a go, with rings and gudgeon pins. Unfortunately only in std bore size - but that stop me and a mate buying a couple!

I think that makes them only available to Club Members (for more reasons than just Club favouritism)?

Re: Major oil leak from rear enclosed chain case
Paul - how much is 'major'?
Probably worth checking the condition of the felt wick in the oil tank, maybe it's missing completely?

Re: 1934 Ariel - in need of slight attention
Swansea and frame numbers.... I've had a lot of discussions with DVLA folk about this over the years, having spent several decades working with databases. A few years ago I was given the nugget of info that the problem (then at any rate) was that the screens that the DVLA staff had to use to access ...

Re: Carburettor leaking fuel
I replaced the old float and needle in my 375 with new 'ethanol proof' versions from Amal and also added the fibre washer under the needle valve housing as is often advised when fitting the 'ethanol proof' components. However, I found that with the fibre washer the new float and needle arrangement w...
