what is the chance that someone will start the production of eureka pressure gauges? :cry: I have ordered eureka pressure gauges up to 25 lbs for more than a year and I can't get to them. Orders are not fulfilled. Can't anyone do that? :? :cry: :( I will buy 20 pieces of usable copy :?:

I have had an order with him for more than a year and I regularly remind myself, but it does not help. They have nothing to sell me, they are still unavailable. :cry: I need to buy any 2 inch to 25 lbs. I will adjust them myself. I can't wait 2 years for a regular component

contact Sean O'Brien , He is the spares coordinator from the Ariel Component Parts Ltd. group, (a diversion?) from the AOMCC 2020 Ltd.
His details are on page 2 in your monthly Cheval de Fer.

25psi oil gauges remain available to AOMCC Members for use on their own machines. As with all other Club spares, we can no longer supply in bulk or to non-AOMCC members. 20 gauges is a bulk order for non - AOMCC members.

Well, thats pretty amazing !

Has Karol been told that this is the way the AOMCC/ACP Ltd. functions ? -members only-
Looks like he is left in the dark about why he is not getting the parts that he asks for....
Apart from that (in my view rather xenofobic approach) does the AOMCC / ACP Ltd. realizes that tables can turn in regard to parts coming from outside their own ranks ?

I think, and I assume a few with me :
More sales gives more money in the pocket for development of more or new parts to keep our beloved steeds on the road.
Is it ACP Ltd. for members and Draganfly for non members ?
Better call it Ariel Owners Only Parts Ltd :lol: :mrgreen:

I would not be very happy if I had my engine in pieces and was told that the remaining stock of 20 cam-shafts had been sold to one person,and would have to wait for the next batch to be made , to a club member or not

Very true.
But the ACP does not have to sell all of them at once to Karol ..
Just a few so he can serve his friends and save on those diabolical postage and import taxes levied .
(friends who might like what they see and become members....) then Karol knows that they are available but there is patience needed.
Karol is not making profit (bar postage costs) on parts, he also re-sells parts from other producers at the same price those producers ask.
We all know that the ACP spares scheme's are run by volunteers, and I am very proud of them doing this -sometimes- not so rewarding job.
But it serves no goal to exclude people, it's a Kindergarten approach that has no place here.

Gentlemen,

Paul is correct, the club is run by the members, for the members. While we are very happy to try to help every member, we are not allowed (from a legal perspective) to sell items to non-members or to members for anything other than personal use.

There is nothing stopping each club member from ordering a gauge for themselves. Or indeed for non-members to become members, if they require access to spares.

It's a little sad, though if it is only for the members, I will follow the rules and I will use it only for myself. :|


so I'm looking for a supplier of a 2 inch pressure gauge up to 25 lbs, which I could convert into a Eureka pressure gauge and offer it to all those who are devoting their time to rescuing Ariel motorcycles. I had labels made, pressure gauge hands and a chrome frame. If someone can offer me a suitable pressure gauge, I can produce enough for all those interested, even for AMMCC members.
