1950 350NH basket case

[PeterW]

A couple of years ago I went to Wales to buy a trail bike and this was lurking in the vendor's shed awaiting restoration. After dissassembly he decided to move it on and now its lurking in my garage :¬)
I'm planning to rebuild pretty much as is with the exception of fitting a proper Ariel tank. If anyone has something suitable please let me know, I'm not worried about condition.

I dont usually bother with cosmetics but ...

I love sanding attachments

[PeterW]

Hmmm, wonder where the headstock bearings went?
Probably the same place as the clutch rollers..

In Primer.

Back to Black

And tested the mag

First spin this century

[simon.holyfield]

I love the wire brush drive to the mag. Is your front tank mount missing?

[nevhunter]

Will the magy spin that fast when you kick start it? Nev

[PeterW]

Yep, front tank mounting had been removed, somethig else welded on and then that removed. I'll get a new one made up if I can find a tank at a sensible price.
I adjusted the speed of the drill right down but even so I doubt I could kick that fast :¬)
Gives a reasonable spark flicking it by hand so hopefully ok.

Made a bit more progress today.

back on its wheels

[adrie.degraaff]

I have the front frame mount for you for free, it's still on a part frame, the Dutch rally is next weekend, some English members are there like Peter Kemp?.

[Steven.Carter]

I'm going, if thats of any use?

Adrie - that's very kind, I didn't think I'd find one.
& Steve - if you could relay it back to the UK that would be great :¬)
