It looks, and sounds, good on the road.

Thanks for posting this, its a fascinating read.

Off-topic . . Is that blue & yellow car sneaking up behind at the start a Lea Francis (or a Riley) ??

Nice! Fraser Nashes were chain driven hence they were referred to as "The Chain Gang" :) . Back in 1970 I was in Ramsey, IOM with my Square Four when a fellah came out of a shop with his shopping and said "Ah, a Square Four, I've got one of those, do you want to see it?". Silly q...

Keith, 'Chronos' have mounting plates and chuck combinations. Its a good site for info as well. http://www.chronos.ltd.uk/cgi-bin/ss000001.pl?RANDOM=NETQUOTEVAR%3ARANDOM&PAGE=SEARCH&SO=1_3_4_0&SS=chuck+mounting&ACTION=Search&TB=A&PR=-1&GB=A&SX=0 My 1950s Denford Vicer...

And its a HAPPY NEW YEAR from a sunny and dry Edinburgh . . . Quick, where's the camera. I saw the new year in and then watched the Edinburgh fireworks - from the lounge window :lol: Hopefully I'll get out on the bikes more in 2013, no Ariels but the Beemers are going strong. Have a great 2013 y'all...

Thanks for the tip, I'll pass it on to the Panther owner. I rebuild BMW 'Airhead' gearboxes for members of http://ukg...

Well, thanks for that, I live and learn. Apologies for being thick - I should have checked the Brough reference earlier but didn't think it was that. I had a look at the Brough Club and almost sent a message - I'm glad I didn't now, thanks for the tip. There's a Co. in Austria that has kickstart spr...

Brough Superior? Hmmm, BSeh? Club of British Serious people? Got it.. Broken Second club!... I win! I win! :lol: :lol: I wondered if Briggs & Stratton had something to do with it. I tried the net - I don't think British Showjumping can help. Maybe it was just Bull-Shine ;) (Did Broughs use Stur...

LS boxes allways seem to break second,you will be able to buy new gears from the BS club,or one of the BS specialists. Thanks John, But, I must be getting old and my brain is befuddled . . What is the BS Club ??? I've racked the brain to no avail. I'm sure it will be a " DOH Moment :oops: &quo...

Hi, Those with a long memory may remember me - I was a very active member in the late '60s / early 70s when I had a 'special' 4G and a VB. I don't have an Ariel at the moment (two BMWs and a heap of Tiger Cub parts :roll: ) but I'm attempting to renovate a Sturmey Archer gearbox from a 1931 P&M ...
