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...

beesa71

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...

beesa71

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.

beesa71

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...

beesa71

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...

beesa71

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

beesa71

John,

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

PM me.

Regards.

Paul.

beesa71

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...

beesa71

"Note, it was not the 1627th B50SS built. Other models came first of which could have been A65's, A75's, B50T's or B50MX's." That's not true; singles were in one 'number' run and other models had their own. It is correct that the singles run included BSA, Triumph, 250's and 500's. Usually, but not a...

beesa71

I sent a 'pm', did you get it?

Regards.

Paul.

Edit by mm. You can see if your pm has been delivered, when it is opened by the recipient it moved from your "Outbox" to your "Sent Messages".

beesa71

and I've a use for the whole rear wheel/brake etc assembly so if yo'd let me know your asking price that would be good.

Paul.

beesa71

But you don't then actually know whether the hub/brake plate assembly will fit in your arm (re' spindle dia, spacers/position etc). My view remains to actually do all the work to fit the hub/brake plate (of your choice) to the arm with the sprocket In the right place for chain alignment then, and on...

beesa71

I don't necessarily concur with your thought; my view is that you need to set up the hub in the arm, then you can work out for yourself what your offset needs to be.

Paul.

beesa71

Although the OP doesn't seem to tell us which swinging arm he is planning to fit the Conical hub too I'll assume it's a pre-OIF one. From refurbishing Mead & Tomkinson B50's where they went the other way, ie fitted Crinkle hub in place of Conical, I'd suggest that the first thing to do is, most prob...

beesa71

My two penneth; the BSA/Triumph OIF Single air filter housing is not what the OP needs if he is considering an 'air box' for Flat Track racing. It is, simply, a unit to hold the simple paper based air filter in the right place. I have friends who race FT here in the UK and they need to construct mul...

beesa71

I've B44 slipper NOS OEM +0.010" and +0.020" pistons, both have rings but no pin.

PM me if of any interest.

Paul.

Whole bike is an M&T replica built solely from photographs in old magazines etc. A real credit to Neil.

Paul.

beesa71

The 'race' B50 is owned by Neil Stuart.

Paul.

Jean-Paul,

A B50 drive will be in the post to you asap.

Regards.

Paul.

beesa71

A gentleman who I was introduced to at Circuit Carole International B50 Meeting in September told me that, becasue of the high prices these drives are commadning on Ebay, he was comissioning a batch in order to offer them cheaper. Does anyone in France know of progress on these items? I think many o...

beesa71

Francois, it will be in the post to you today.

It came from an 'XON' registered B50.

Regards, best wishes and have a great 2019.

Paul.
