Hope so Simon, its difficult to figure out what to make . Lots of one year only part . Small runs of bikes over 90 years ago . So without some feed back from members where they are having issues. Its not easy to figure out . . More consumable items are on my list as they are always needed . A conversion small end bush from the 1 inch pin to the later standard Size pin . Seems very useful. As anyone with a one inch pin will have to use a later pistion in a rebuild . The early type piston is not available anywhere.

That's great news for all Black Ariel owners. Rebuilding my entire 1928 Model C before the Cannonball in 2017-2018, and the engine again after it, would have been a lot more difficult had there not been a spares officer at that time

Lee, I think that a good place to start would be to survey what's available worldwide. That would entail getting yourself familiar with the models and the changes to parts, constructing a coarse list, and looking at who is making what. That 'directory' would be useful in itself and would serve hopefully reveal frequently used parts that were both difficult to make and unavailable.

Simon you are right, a list of parts already available would be helpful . It's a waste of time to make and stock parts. That are already available that will just sit on a shelf forever and a day . If I get the same answers from members then there is obviously a call for that item . I will be looking at consumable items. That everyone needs when doing a rebuilt and hard to find unavailable items . Seems like to best way to go to me.

if it's in my power, I'll be happy to help with the parts we produce. We just have to find a way to get them into the united kingdom. ;)

this lin should work in english with images too. If the images do not work, turn off AD Block on your computer. It turns off in the upper right corner of the screen.
