WINTER IN THE SHED, BACK ON THE BUILDS
Back on with the Velocette build ,
In the shed over winter is one of my favourite times to get things done.
started with a cleanup , the problem I am having is a can't quite remember where I was up to before I went to Darwin weeks ago.
Fitting the engine back in the frame might help jog my memory.after fitting the engine I can see what I have to finish off , its very close . Hopefully I can find the time over the next week to finish it off.
We build and restore our bikes just like you , From swap meetings to our small back yard sheds to restore or modify to build the best bikes possible at a reasonable budget without breaking the bank.
I (Chris strahan) am a qualified motor mechanic with some self taught fabrication and machining skills. My father Alan Strahan is a qualified Fitter and Turner who specialises in Velocettes, He has lots of experience with other brands of motorcycles , this has been a huge help with all of our builds as you can imagine.
Feel free to comment on any of my videos, any feedback would be much appreciated. Dont forget to Like and Subscribe

    I I own a mill/drill the same as yours and will be looking at modifying it in line with what you have done. Interestingly my machine is a different brand to yours but the same in all respects down to the model number. Aparently it has been common practice in both Taiwan and China for similar machines to be produced by different companies. Lucky we both got made in Taiwan machines which generally are better quality than Chinese made machines.

    Thanks for the great explaination. I have a newly acquired '54 MSS Velo with the KTT Belt Drive setup. I could not get the clutch to release fully despite performing the procedure detailed in the workshop manual. I took it all apart and found the previous owner had installed 7/8" springs for earlier bikes instead of the 1-1/18" springs listed in the parts list for all the 9-plate clutch setups. Could this account for the issues I was having? I have correct springs on order.
