    Hi Lex Do you have the sizes for the repro handlebar grips for the Flying flea I’m going to have to get some made and have you managed to take any photos of the frame yet partway through second  crank so any parts i have spare I will put with the engine till we can sort something out

      Thanks, but it's a postwar manual. I haven't had the time to scan my handbooks, but do have the parts list scanned I believe.

      Cheers, Lex

      Yes, I got the frame located, will take pictures today, it's "only" the footrest stuff that's missing, but the framenumber is strange, will get back asap. isn't it easier to email? or direct message here?  I am in no hurry at all for the engine, will not start restoration this year, will have to do 2 James ML's first.

      Hi there, yes, am back, and am digging out the frame tomorrow, I'll have to measure the grip things, have no drawings I think, but will have a look.

      Hi Simon, unfortunatly I don't know a cheap solution, and without cutting corners so much, there's only a small roundabout left, you will end up with something that's no good at all, unless you are a professional welder fabricator, and can borrow an original one, then it's possible I guess, to make one yourself, but it will still cost a lot.  better to save up, and buy something decent. Welbikes were never transported on Jeep's bumpers btw, I don't have any period pictures of that, and it will not do your Jeep or Welbike much good, I may know of a Filding BSA bike for sale in the near future, maybe that is something to contemplate?

      Cheers,

      Lex
