C15 Hook Shaped Kickstart Lever
Desperately seeking Susan!
Its been a while since I posted here but im finishing a C15T build and wild love the correct hook shaped kickstart lever.
I've looked in all the usual places and can't find one.
Can anyone help me out here. Condition unimportant ... I am hoping that someone here may have one sitting in a box with the Rocking Horse poop?
Pic of progress attached ... getting very close to completion now and I thought the Sammy Miller type would fit but it fouls on the exhaust header when folded.
BSA Unit Singles show the part as:
40-3097 Kickstart Lever, Hook Shape C15s 1960-61
KICKSTART LEVER C15S 1960-61 HOOK SHAPE LEVER 40-3097 NOS EXCELLENT CONDITION CHROME ...
But no stock!

I bet the engine is dry! She will need a bit of lubrication 

There is no evidence to support the notion that life is serious.

Hi Peter,
All progressing well and hopefully Lynn and I will get to the national rally. I ended up with new hip and surgeon says it will be while before I can do much riding otherwise I may take a couple of bikes and let others use them. It'll be good to see the C15T start up. It looks like a good little project from lockdown.
Regards,
John and Lynn
