48 VH
My somewhat of a cobbled together pile of bits. The bones seem very good so far so fingers crossed.
I’m missing some important bits so I’m hoping the help here and vendors will provide them.

Re: My 48 VH Red Hunter
It has a newer frontforks top and plunger rearmudguard but it's a good start if the numbers are in the year.
One advice; don't buy Indian stuff.

Re: My 48 VH Red Hunter
There is a very interesting article (1994) http://www.arielownersmcc.com/members ... p?show=765 written by our friendly Paul Jameson which makes quite clear the diff. between the early and later telescopic front forks...MGriffin wrote:Yep i have already sourced an original earlier top yoke and a replacement albeit Indian rear guard from a job lot lot here in Australia.
P.S. You got the right front wheel...

Re: My 48 VH Red Hunter
I'd say you ve done very well.....in Australia finding anything that isnt a pile of rusty mismatched broken bits is extremely difficult.........The tank,oil tank ,and wheels are all extremely hard to find here now......Ariel is the number one make for hoarders,and parts are rarely seen at swaps.

Is that an A Series engine on the floor to the right the frame? Are you also a Morris Minor Man? I do hope so!
