Happy spannering Doug. :lol:

I think that the T.P. 22 is likely tyre pressure all right but would like to hear feedback on that. According to the 1940 W/NG Instruction Manual, page 51-

The recommended minimum tyre inflation pressure for the 3.25-19" Dunlop Cord Tyre is: Front Tyre 17 lbs. sq. in.
Rear Tyre 24 lbs. sq. in.

It doesn't say the inflation rate if the rear tyre is 3.50"

The previous owner sprayed it green and sourced pannier racks etc. It had not been ran in a long time and so I've rebuilt the clutch, gaskets, valve clearances, re- torqued the head, re built carb. Just the usual re commissioning. Still need to sort out a few stopped threads and leaks and re build the girders.

The green paint is not petrol resistant so everytime I spill the tiniest amount of fuel on it suddenly looks more used. Which I like.... Prefers in fact.
