Forgot: Claus, send me a PM with your full name and address and I’ll send you three if they are helpful to you.

There are three such spacers; one inside the rhs front engine mount, one inside lower the rhs engine mount and one outside the rhs engine mount between the plate and exhaust mounting ‘bracket’ (front pipe). The 1971 parts book omits to show the front rhs front inner spacer. The 1972 parts book (atta...

Have you checked that the ‘previous’ conditions for vehicles of historic interest will not still apply? My two Mead & Tomkinson machines were sent from Australia under that scheme (and the evidence I presented showed clear connection to their racing success) and then I paid only 2.5% VAT (I think) a...

Can’t wait, ordered my copies yesterday.

Keep it up Brad.

Regards to all OIF’ers.

Paul.

beesa71

And here’s one I’ve just measured. Other dim’s concur with Steve.

Paul.

beesa71

That’s what I said. The bearing spacer ‘in the hub’ not the MX (only) spacer that sits between the bearing and the swinging arm.

Regards to all OIF’ers.

Paul.

beesa71

I disagree; ‘from here’ the bearing spacer and it’s ends look fine and as mine do.

Paul.

beesa71

I agree with Steve, all looks correct.

Only comment I’d offer is that don’t forget that the speedo drive side bearing is not locked in by the screwed in speedo drive ‘ring’.

Paul.

Keith, have you seen the ‘Pm’ from me?

Paul.

beesa71

Thank you Steve. All gratefully received.

Paul.

That’s Russell’s site I mentioned.

I’ve also posted this question on the. SAOC Forum but I wonder if any on here have what I’m looking for....... A question has arisen about how far the inner cable for 60mm and 80mm Smiths Magnetic instruments (SSM and RSM) should protrude from the outer cable at the instrument end? Assuming correct ...

And that nice fella ‘stainoifless’ on EBay sells a stainless steel stem top nut in the early version ie the coarse thread. They will ship worldwide. It is cheaper to buy it, and the other listed items, through direct contact via this wonderful forum. As you would expect. Regards to all OIF’ers. Paul...

Yes Beat but not for a few days as I will not be near the cover until then.

Please ‘Pm’ me on Thursday.

Paul.

My bet is plugged.

Phil,

I’m a little surprised you have a B50 rocker box without provision for the valve lifter components. I’ve never seen one un-machined for it.

Have you had a good luck/can you attach some pictures, I’m curious.

Regards to all OIF’ers.

Paul.

Back to the clutch operation modification; this outer timing cover came to me when I cleared out Mike Tomkinson’s B50 ‘left over racing spares’ and, other than an occasional outing, has been buried here for years. So, it having surfaced today I thought it might be of interest. My inclination is that...

beesa71

I’ve no idea what his or your ‘going rate’ is but I’ve got a few dizzy’s that I could spare you one from.

Let us, on here, know what your rate is please.

Regards to all OIF’ers.

Paul.

Ady, You are more than welcome to join the unofficial M&T Enthusiasts Group. A small but dedicated group, worldwide membership, true keepers of the faith (as described by ‘outsiders’ - themselves most welcome too). Plenty is known about Mike Tomkinson and his incredible team but we are always keen t...

I’d suggest Rayson’s....

Yours Gerry, as I hoped it would be!

PM me your postal address.

I have a quantity (60+ available) Triumph parts lists on microfiche and a ‘sample’ is currently listed on EBay. I thought the Hurricane one might be a nice bit of not necessarily usable memorabilia that someone on here might like. Anyone? Sensible offer with the proceeds to my local hospice of inter...

The FS did go to Hammonds and the B25T to BSA Inc East on 27/1/71.

But, you sure it’s AE3395?

beesa71

And I have decent enough evidence of a B25V in the same context as A75V (not sure whether other code letters were included in that one). Vertically split castings too if I remember.

Regards.

Paul.

beesa71

Too true there should be one between the crankcase and the front RH engine ‘plate’ (83-2004). There should also be the one on the RH side of the engine between it and the frame (83-2005). There should also be one between the outside of the RH front engine ‘plate’ and the exhaust pipe mounting bracke...

If John will excuse me; here’s a link re’ the exhaust system.

I’ve just bought a large quantity of the bonded seals for rebuilding quite a quantity of forks, pm me if you want some sending.

Paul.

beesa71

John, I have a number of NOS ones that are in less than perfect condition, you are welcome to one of these. You can collect (Warrington) or I can send, both though after the current crisis eases. Put me down for some S/S copies of the OEM version please. Regards and best wishes at this awful time to...

Trevor, can you post a link the Podtronics ignitions please.

Paul.

beesa71

I'm not familiar with those spring tensioning nuts, have you tried it with the more common ones?

Paul.

beesa71

Has anyone got an OEM 'factory' B50 Speedway piston please?

What I'm looking for are some details from it.

Regards to all.

Paul.

beesa71

Only posting as I've seen it in the flesh (and component parts); have you seen the Shropshire Motorcycles electric start kit for Unit Construction Triumph twins?

Very neatly done.

If anyone knows the current owner of the titanium bikes as pictured (a recent addition I believe) on the excellent B44GP website would they please try (somehow) to pass my contact details them or refer them here for a 'PM'.

Thank you.

Paul.

I'm sorting through the many hundreds of parts lists and things I've accumulated in my (nearly) 50 years of Unit Single'ing and in anticpation of the autojumble season starting for me (ie when it's dry and not freezing cold) I've sorted a few to take 'for sale'. I thought though that I'd see if ther...

Hello folks, Does anyone have the OEM details to identify the dimensions of 'O' ring part number 97-4003 please. I've misplaced my 'O' ring measuring 'stick' hence the question. Although I'm off to my local supplier on Monday it would be good to be pre-armed as, I've found, 'O' rings don't measure u...

Mick uses the OEM BSA/Triumph conical front hub as the basis and the 'internals' are Commando 2LS front brake based.

John,

Here was me thinking they were the std 15/16" Oddies.

PM me.

Hey b50reels; did you get my 'pm's'?

Paul.

beesa71

Incorrect for last models at least, see any/all DB's for them. Each model range (eg OIF Singles,Twins, Triples) had their own series of numbers but variants within that range ie, B25T, T25SS, B50T, T25SS etc could be next to one another in the numerical sequence. For example; DE10577 was a T25T DE10...

beesa71

Trevor, I don't necessarily agree with your theory that it was the 1627th bike off the line. I'd agree that it was the 1627th (numerical order) number in the Despatch Book but that doesnt't tally (no pun intended as we also know that the DB indicates 'tally number' too) with production order. The DB...
