SPARES FOR SALE
The
earliest correspondance I have is a postcard to Jas.L.Norton when he was at Bradford St. Birmingham 5 Sept. 1905 :
"Trotted
her out this morning to Rose Hill. Trial one: belt slipped, trial two: missed the
levers and trial three: rode up at 25 miles per hour in face of a strong head
wind. It is simply a glorious jigger and I am delighted with it. When I become
thoroughly aquainted with it there will be no limit to its pace. The case still
gets a bit hot, but less and less as its finding its bearings".

A
straight 3 litre DOHC motor which is a bit like 6 manx engines linked together
by
a
relatively fragile bottom end. It is great fun to drive!
Three pictures from my workshops,
which look remarkably like the ones at Bracebridge Street in the mid-thirties! Click on the images for bigger ones (about 100kb)
This picture shows a few of my
work-force in the frame-building shop. Down the centre is a series of jigs on
which the frames and forks are made, before being passed on to the
sand-blasting and hand-filing chaps who finish off the job before sending off
to JBS painting in Somerset (see links page)
That’s me (with wig) examining a
petrol tank after welding……..
Finally, a few of the lads in the
machine shop, turning up a few new rear hub sprockets…
·
Engine sprockets, for ES2, Model 18, 500T, 16H and Big
4.(NOS) please note that there are three different offsets for these engine
sprockets. 16, 17, 18, 19T only!
The measurement you must make
to ensure that the engine sprocket will line up with the clutch sprocket is as
follows: the distance between the inside of the central boss (the large end of the
internal taper bore) to the inside of the sprocket is 0.15 or 0.30 or 0.45
inch. 
Remember, the larger end of the internal taper is at the
bottom. I challenge anybody to give me the definitive relationship between
model and offset!
The sprocket type on the right
is for OHV swinging arm frames with laydown box.
The one on the left fits 16H
with dolls face box.
·
Brake shoe springs (NOS)
·
Second hand, but very useable DOHC and OHC (hairpin) valve
springs
