How about a 3D print?

Picture? Make? Part No? Share the love MrMike!

I'm in for a couple Ian

I think you'll need 48, and it is chromed. Be careful with these, there are many for sale that are the triumph ones which have the bolt orthogonal to the top of the tank, I don't know about the smaller tanks, but I have the larger tank on my FS and the top of the tank is NOT at right angles to the b...

eebtr7 love the lockdown rant, but why would you retro-fit manual advance and retard?

Most developments and modifications to vehicles tend to reduce the amount of input required by the driver/rider. In my lifetime I've seen the introduction windscreen washers, heaters, inertia seat belts, automatic chokes, anti-lock brakes, pre-set radio stations, traction control, speed limiters (wh...

Pleased to see the boys in blue are not corruptible, I guess you need friends in higher places!

Ah! The dreaded lurgy! Good English Beat, but I guess you mean closed the boarder with "G"!

The front fame tube seems to split into the two bottom rails fairly high up, any reason for that?

Write a letter to the DVLA explaining everything, they will still have it on their books (silicon) it is just a matter of convincing them to search based on the criteria you have. They should be able to find all vehicles registered to you and provide you with that info (freedom of info or something)...

<135 To the forum graham parker, would you edit your profile and let everyone know roughly where you are please? You might want to consider changing your user name to something less recognisable, there are nefarious souls out the who might covert your treasure, you don't have to I'm just saying it's...

Just what I need, a cast iron box for storing my miniature 3D model of a cow's head......How much?

You've been promising these for ages Mark, I bet you can sell as many as you can make. Is the top interchangeable so they can be used on A65/50 and two stud B&C series?

Start it with no battery, but a dead battery can look like a low resistance to the generator circuit, so the cap never charges. The design is supposed to enable quick detachment of the front (unplug from the electrics box and remove the wire stays) and rear (slacken the bolts under the mudguard, sli...

Most rules about construction and use are not retrospective, that is one reason why there is no requirement for an MOT test (Annual government vehicle test for roadworthiness) for vehicles over 40 years old in the UK, i.e. most of the testers were not born when these vehicles were made and they can'...

Over rev a B25 and the con rod will probably break anyway (or the push rods will flex and jump), but I think it is either the crank end that fails near where the oil hole was, or they snap below the small end eye, I don't think the eye fails too often. If it was me I think I'd see Mr Cook and get hi...

In the UK, we have a Highway Code, while not Law anything in there can be used to provide evidence of contributory negligence if not followed (and used as a method of sneaking in traffic laws under the radar using "its been in the Highway Code for years so might as well make it Law"). You are unlike...

Not fundamentally altered, period mod to improve braking, , DVLA are more worried about engine capacity and frame mods, pander to them and you'll be seeking permission to change the lights to LEDs etc....forget about telling DVLA.....mention it to your insurance and they will ok it, plenty of other ...

I'm good at making those

Won't the brake plate be strong enough (assuming of course it is anchored in the usual way)?

Golf! GOLF?, most here are not nearly old enough for that malarkey and so very

Would you update your profile and let everyone know roughly where in the world you are please?

How did they get that bus to the top of the mountain?

Brit humour doesn't always cross the pond in one piece, hope it made you chuckle.....

Wheel advice, see here.

Alignment dowel between the barrel and liner perhaps?

What you need to do now is put some pictures up

There is a description how to do it here, but if you are struggling, drop me a pm (Private Message, button on the right) and I'll send you my email address, so you can send me the pictures and I'll post them for you

Or modify a beam clamp....

Willoughby Waterleys Please drive carefully Through Our Village. <124 .....unless you are brake testing your B50! I would hope that once you have the air out of the slaves and the bottom pipe, the top part of the system will be self bleeding. I guess the exponential progression is due to the multipl...

No problem johnu, I guessed that is what you meant, but there is a temptation for others to stray off topic!

This topic is very close to being a "What is the best oil?" topic....very very close......if it starts to head that way you know what will happen!

Ride it every week. Job done.

Woodruff keys are not intended to be load bearing, well, not normally, they should be used for orientation. So, in theory, you don't need one on the clutch as it is on a taper, and the taper takes the load and there is no need to orientate the clutch. The Alternator rotor has timing marks, and so ne...

Vellofell, why not start a topic in Project Bikes and document your progress? I can move and link your post here to that, I'd love to comment on Grimeca hubs, but fear it would be off topic here.

You got it Frank, but beat is talking about B50s, he only briefly mentions B25s. I have never found a problem starting my B25 with stock points and ATU. Now, as you will hopefully spend longer with the ignition fully advanced than fully retarded, the fully advanced position is what you need to get r...

Hi Claus, a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then, I think I can safely say I no longer have the magazine....

I understand that the later disc brake set up available for the Triumph brand from 73 is a pretty straightforward bolt on alternative for the B50. I believe there are a few members running this set up. Certainly are! front end small.jpg But requires wider yokes and different fork tubes. I wonder if...

Frank, beat has few faults; a propensity for metric threads being his greatest sin, and of the many languages he speaks (and writes) his English is the most hilarious. I think he means the automatic advance and retard unit in all cases here (for ALU read ATU). Beat extends the slots in the unit to g...

ETED1 looks like a twin (180 degree crank?), you may be able to discern something from the timing side gasket shapes which might give an indication of DOHC....

eebtr7 modern brake fluid is not very hydroscopic (times have moved on since the 60's!), and seals on master cylinders last years if not decades. Apart from being an experiment, I guess the reason M&T went for this method was to remove the sponginess you get from a cable. I hate cables with a vengea...

Excellent, can't wait to hear more when you have ridden it for a while. Where will you put the servo? :ban I like the idea of re-threading the slaves to accept a greater variety of fittings, did the slaves come apart easily for swarf cleaning? JB, I'm not sure a smaller master cylinder is necessaril...

What diameter master cylinder are you using please?
