Few questions before start restoring my 350 RH

[roeller]

Hi

Have a 350 RH, the year should be 1934. The RH has a red frame and red fork. So far I never came across a red frame RH. The colour looks quite original on the bike. Is it possible to be original, or should it be black?

I also need following parts, maybe someone of you have them for sale:

Oil Tank
Chain guard
Front and rear fender

The megneto looks quite bad, maybe its better to have a new one, or is there some speicialist out there who can do magic?

Thats all for now, thanks for the help.

Enclosed a few pictures:

Welcom Roeller,
did you find the frame number?
The frame must be black and you need more than your list.

Hi Adrie,

Engine number: FA739
Frame number:Y5935

Dont worry me Adrie. The headlamp is whatever, but not Ariel, exhausts are missing, seat is gone, some small parts are missing, but the rest I thought fits to the bike. Can you see already some main parts, which are wrong?

By the way, my name is Roland.

Thanks

OK Roland,
the tank is wrong, the front engineplates are homemade, the swing connecters of the frontforks are not Ariel, battery holder wrong, footrest wrong, brake paddle wrong, carb wrong and that's one side.
It could be a 250 barrel.

Don't despair Roland. Rome wasn't built in a day they say. Nev

Hi Roland,
There is a good basis for a bike there - and it looks like plenty of experience is sitting under those sheets in your photo.
The primaries are rare, as are the pressed steel brake hubs.
The correct tank is the same as for all panel rank 350's, but has high set mounting bolts for the kneepads.
Your rear brake setup is correct, but missing the pedal part.
The correct seat has a flat back edge - no rib to stop you sliding back.
I think the handlebar levers (mag) should be the long type.
Carb should be a type 75 (or similar), with holes along the bottom of the jet block, and 11 degree angled float bowl.
One of the professional magneto people should be able to help you. This depends on where you live.
As Adrie notes, it would be good to see the other side.

Hello Gentleman,

thank you all for your fast replies.

Here a few more pictures. Maybe some more wrong parts

Hi Roland, I think the mudguards are right, as are both hubs.
Love the oil tank!
Your timing cover is from a later bike, as is the kick start lever.
You have some of the hard to get parts, including twist grip, primaries and hubs and are missing the tank panel and its fittings, electrics and some tinware.
It always helps to get the factory records, so you know what model and specs you are dealing with.

Maybe some more wrong parts [/quote]
The footrest and his supports, the clutchlever and his supports.
Engine and frame could belong together.

That helps Adrie. Do you know what this one sold for?
