Re: 1972 B50 SS Return to Flight.
I'm building a B25 at the moment and was planning put both items in the aluminium electrics box, but realised that they wouldn't both fit. So i attached the replacement regulator/Rectifier under the battery carrier and am planning to put the electronic ignition in the aluminium electrics box. Curren...

Re: Lock down projects
I wish I had been able to buy one of these instead of the B50 frame that i bought for £25 which I fitted my Triumph 350 3TA engine in.
Looking nice.

Re: Lock down projects
Claus, I was having a quick look for an index and came across a magazine exchange website that lists details of what's in the magazine's. Not knowing what sort of year it was, I failed in my search for the article, but you do better. This the link: https://magazineexchange.co.uk/cw/Classic-Bike-1978...

Re: race tuning 250 and 350
Hi, I'm not an expert, but did read recently that BSA could never get the B40 to work well enough as a competition engine, so ended up concentrating on the 250 at the time.
Maybe someone else can give more information or correct me if I'm wrong.
Welcome by the way.

Re: TR5T Bash Plate
I missed out on a front wheel recently. It had been relished twice, so I put a bid in and just left it and forgot about and it went for a few pounds more than my bid. I do have a front wheel, but this would have been alot cheaper as mine needs a rebuild.

This is really just silly, currently bids are up to £370.00. I think I paid about £15 for mine some years ago.

Re: 1974 tr5mx Engine Mounting Bolts
Interestingly, I ordered a rear engine mounting bolt from Draganfly and they very kindly sent me 21-2091 which was 7/16 unf as a replacement for 21-0671 which 3/8 unf so maybe i should drill out the engine plates and the rear engine mount so I can use it.

Lozenge Silencer
Hi, I picked up a Lozenge Silencer for the B25 that I will eventually get round to putting together. It is going to need a patch welded onto the back of it, where it has rusted. I am hoping to weld it myself with assistance of friends. My question is, what gauge steel should use to repair it. Thanks

Re: Where was it made?
I haven't taken the engine apart at all at the moment, but do recall that there was a fair bit of in and out movement of the kick start, so maybe a missing spacer is the problem. Are there any details available for the size of the spacer. I looked in the Rupert Ratio book and all it says about the k...

A lot of companies keep your card details and so that they can charge when they dispatch the item, rather than charge you when you order. To me that is by far the better way of working.

Looks a bit rough. but any port in the storm I guess.

Not sure if they're still available, but i had some very small K&N air filters for my Triumph Trident. These were so small as they had to be right next to each other to fit. Maybe something like this is an option. I still have them, so can measure them.
