Hi all thanks for the input, The little hole is clear, So will leave the little vent hole in the timing cover alone sure BSA knew what they were doing. was out on Sunday did 116miles and only stripped it to sort a persistent problem with the second gear not selecting that's when I found the black oi...

madmac

Thanks for the replies Mighty and Beat, I understand the gearbox needs venting but its vented on the pressure side of the breather circuit so this will give the gearbox a positive pressure? (or so I thought) and that's when I had oil coming out of the dipstick not a lot but enough to be annoying Yes...

madmac

Just spotted this little hole in the inner timing cover, I did have bother with the dipstick filler venting oil before i blocked it maybe it would be better to block this little hole, any thoughts from the colective b25 vent.jpg Also the oil in the gearbox seems very black more like engine oil? look...

Hi Lathejack just back from the BSA international, the paint on the tank is a candy apple red from the paint shop, I don't think there is a code as its a dye you first apply a base coat of metallic silver or gold depends how deep you want the red then use the candy red dye in the top coat lacquer ,t...

Thanks Barry sorry It's home made I copied it from a photo I spotted on eBay

madmac

Two shots of my take on dove grey RAL 7044

: silk grey

madmac

Well no one else piped up so,
The paint I used on my 71 B25T was a 2k and the code was RAL 7044 SEIDENGREU ( Silk grey?)
Hope this helps... looks so much better than a black frame .

madmac

madmac

Hi all Well eventually got the B25t registered and on the road, got a wiltshire age related number and no problems with the DVLA . Still running in but so far seems like a nice bike It has been made from parts from all over so I was expecting problems <201 Well so far only the one but it is a new on...

madmac

Ok the pattern stuff is rubbish Can we not use something from the electronics world ? Been looking at a conversion for the magneto and it locates by the points the internal condenser is disconnected.The magneto must be a much harder working environment than our battery system A1 C01_C02.JPG It seems...

madmac

Has anyone suggested changing the coil or was that done on component change, checking the polarity on the coil? Ok I'm out!

madmac

Ahh yes I see It look better centered on the "S" more tinker time req, I do think the chaincase looks better with a logo.
If I can get a better quality finish I will cast more, selling all depends on the finnish

madmac

I do like the Idea of ABS

madmac

Hi All Well Its been a bit windy today so definitely a workshop day I was wondering why BSA never logoed the B25 or even the b44/50 like the Triumph equivalent, so today decided to do something about it started with the rocker box first attempt OK but to chunky P1020468.JPG second one better bit mor...

madmac

Nice work, do you have a v5 if you don't will be interesting

madmac
