    What a great story........The provenance of these bikes is sometimes more interesting than the bike itself.

    Good point on the rear brake torque arm, i think mines bolted up solid not allowing for float !. Do those sprung hubs travel in a small arc or just up and down?, putting the chain under tension at extreme travel?. Good bloke Alan, having a m/c in your front room is a sign of commitment, good on ya' mate, enjoy.

    Last year I read a ton of Velocette books. They were sending race bikes to Australia and New Zealand to get them out of their hair. They figured the locals would have to learn how to work on them which was better than people bringing them back to the factory (which was taking up valuable time). Did Triumph do the same?

    Hi guys , you talked about the mount for the arm on the rear brake plate . I guess it is the same as the T100 fitted with that type of frame , and it mounts on bracket that swivels on the back of the brake pedal spindle . I have a spare one . Do you guys have an email address so we can talk ?

    Davo from England again. PPS. If you have a timing cover with sufficient metal around the crankshaft oil feed bush it is a good mod to bore out the bush and substitute an oil seal and circlip from a unit 650. Much better oil pressure so less likely to go bang. Regards Davo.

  • @davidstephens-yl1ox
    @davidstephens-yl1ox 23 дні тому

    Hi, Davo from Gloucester England. Re megaphones. Armours in Uk do a good repro. Re Smiths Rev counter drive. (Same as race kit) Took me about 10 years to find mine. Not seen another since. Your best bet would be to make one using the gear and shortened shaft from the lucas dynamo and use an angle drive from a unit Bonnie or similar. The original is a very tight fit between the engine plate and the timing case. With the dynamo engine plate you have a bit more room. If you need an oil filter (Vokes) I know of a spare.( I would not bother as the brass filter element is the size of a cotton reel and clogs with crap after about 10 miles) Don't forget to sleeve the inlet manifold with a thin wall tube or you will get air leaks next to the allen screw cut outs. Best regards Davo (Occasional visitor to Moore Park Beach, Nr Bundaberg. PS Its snowing here !!!!!!!.)

    Hi Chris.............I was there Saturday and it's been the first trip back post covid. Brought my son and stepson with me as well for the weekend. I must admit the volume of bike stuff around was a lot less than last time, however we did get a good haul of useful parts. Some of the bikes on offer were very well priced in some cases. With how much money the event brings to town, do you think the council would step and keep it running? We actually arrived on the friday and left Monday. I took the boys into town to see the Black Swan and a few other places, and just driving around town it's not hard to pick who was at the swap meet.............Great production once again.
