Ariel vb exhaust valve lifter lever

Hi all i'm after an authentic 1950's valve lifter lever for the handlebars.........i am not after one in new condition, i would prefer slightly old looking (to match condition of bike).........i am also in desperate need of a valve spring compressor tool for a sidevalve vb engine................many thanks..........

Valve spring compressing tools. Hard to find a good one. Get a medium size "G" clamp an make a fitting so fit the collet retainers on your motor and then you will have one for ever. (Don't lend it, or you may not have it for ever. many of my good tools have gone that way over the years.
Happiness is having all the little special tools that enable you to do the job without "monstering" any bits and having to swear at all. Nev

I now have all the parts i needed, massive thanks to Dave for getting me the exhaust valve lifter lever, and i managed to pick up a Longbro 500 valve compressor, dont know much about it other than it looks very old, and fits perfectly.........Nick
