DSC_1704.JPG Matt, there is an easy solution that I've used on a number of my Ariels. Although the outside of the shafts (Kickstart and gear) are hardened the insides are soft (case hardening?) and are very easy to drill with a standard HSS drill. They even have indents in the centre avoiding the ...

Get your pistons from the sources that Dave Owen has mentioned and take them together with your barrels to Bill. Lots of ...

Thanks to all in the AOMCC for the help along the way and particular thanks to Pete Kemp for ...
