Re: 1937 RH 500 Andy Tiernan

Nice to see a bike with all those coslettised nuts and studs and the small set of chromed bits

The rear stay was changed, along with the head and mudguards - but not that much else,

Top fork spindle is a bit long?

The spokes (E8/1080) presumably run down through two holes in the tank? (there is also one for the speedo cover).

Re: Petrol Cap with a Sight Glass In It

There does not appear to be a gasket as such on my cap. If one tightens it up the bike will stop and then start after 20 minutes or so. I gather from chatting at Banbury that this is very common and was shown all sorts of ingenious holes drilled - I just left it slightly loose and all is well ...
