1952 VH Project

Just looking to see if there is any interest in my project, and some idea of prices. So, its a 1952 VH. As it came to me it was derelict and it turned out it was a 500 VH motor in a KH chassis. Paul Jameson helped me retain the original registration number so I have the V5C in my name. Considering t...

Re: New member - looking for spares.

Nice looking bike!! I think Single Spares are out of action at the moment while they look for a new Organiser. Maybe put an advert on the forum for what you want? There is also a club facebook page if that suits you. Draganfly are a good resource too, both for parts and info - check out their websit...

Wanted Amal Type 6 76 Carb Body

Anyone got a Type 76 (or type 6 - the one with the holes at the bottom) carb body going spare? I'm looking for a 1" carb with a 1 1/8" stub fitting. Mine has knackered threads. Stamping on the body is 76/011.

Re: Inlet valve wanted for 1929 OHV Model F 'Black Ariel'

Re: I might have found an HT3

I hadn't looked at the Brno show pics, but just have. That looks proper. No over restored bikes from what I can see, just good used examples.

But we are taking things off topic...

Re: I might have found an HT3

Sammy Miller recently restored a 1957 HT3, it appears on a couple of his YouTube videos. It sold at Bonhams last November for £7300 hammer price. Sammy says: When we bought the bike it was 100% original and not modified in any way. We decided to do a total restoration as you would never find a 100%...

Re: 1927 ariel burman q clutch

Just one thing - they are not 1/4 x 1/4 rollers (as I found out when sorting my 1928 clutch). They are 1/4 x I think...15/64 (definitely an odd number).
