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

Here's an original on my Carrier. Can take close ups and measurements if you want. 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 cm😆😆 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. Ron🙏

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. Ron🤞
