Hi Steve I don't recall a saddle like that on any WD bike? Ron
-
Yes that will do fine. I did think that it can't be that difficult to mould the rubber part. Ron
-
Presumably you will acquire one of those metal bases from R&R. So I've concentrated on the rare rubber part. As a stop gap until one turns up, one could be turned in hardwood or aluminium and painted black. The measurements are near enough for a repro. The five grooves are about 1/8" deep Ron

As far as I know, the B set antena's are the same with the exception of the ring brush guard fitted to those in a more vunarable positon. I'm getting ready for a weekend away, but I'll try and take some pictures/measurments tomorrow. Ron

A normal 1/2" x 26tpi nut with "reduced hex" will do it. Ron

I'm sure that Triumph would have returned unissued brand new WD bikes to the factory for a civilian make over. But I've never heard that they restored old used examples as did RE?? Ron
-
Yes I forgot about the pump. That means cut and re-weld the bracket. It looks like the top one is the best you have. I can't remember if Jan makes this chainguard or not? I'll ask him. Ron
-
What do your pump brackets measure? you could just put a 3/8" spacer under the bracket to save cutting and welding.
-
Distance L is aprox 5 1/2" on both mine. However the pump brackets are 15" on my 3SW and 16" on my 5SW. Considering that my 5SW chainguard is about 3/8" longer than my 3SW. I would suspect that this one is a reproduction? What do your pump brackets measure? PS have you got a 90 link chain? Maybe your wheel should move backwards a bit more? Ron
-
Yep me too usually. I still haven't quite got the hang of those Napolionic measurements.
-
I'm sure you will make it work Pawel BTW Engineers use mm. Dress makers use cm๐๐ Ron
-
I just measured two of mine:- along bottom edge from primary case to rear tip:- 3SW = 510mm 5SW = 520mm Ron

I appreciate all the suggestions and advice from you guys. In the 35 years I've owned it, I've never had such a long winded problem. Especially since I worked as a motor mechanic in the 60's & 70's when plugs and points and simple carbs were an every day occurrence. Ron๐

Yes over the weekend a mate came round and we went through everything again. of all simple things, it was the coil. Even though I temporarily fitted a spare one that I had......Which also must be duff. I bought another new one which arrived Saturday and cured the problem. Both the previous coils were delivering a spark, but obviously not strong enough. I've restarted the Tilly several times over the weekend and all seems fine now. Ron๐ค
