  1. I have the contact of a local engineering work where (worst case scenario cost-wise) the guy can make new ones. Be very expensive though. As he says, "There's nothing that's been made that can't be made again". In the meantime the search continues.
  2. Good thought. I'll have a look locally to begin with (I'm in the north).
  3. I did wonder about a 1" threaded insert inside a more modern bearing (like a helicoil) but there isn't much room.
  4. All the same I think. It equates, as you say to 40mm. I've already had a reply from Fenwicks and it's a non starter, I'm afraid.
  5. Steering Head bearings are 1.577" OD and 1" ID with a 1" BSCY thread. Also have 22 balls of 3/16 diameter.
  6. Any ideas where I can get a replacement headstock bearing(s) in the UK? Also, did I read somewhere that the wording on the generally available oil mix transfer was not correct for the ML (I might have imagined this).
  7. I'd certainly be up for 2 contract plates.
  8. By WW2 Renolds seem to have bought everyone out, including these guys.
  9. Renolds bought the Coventry Chain Company pre-war but in WW2 they still operated as two companies but only apparently selling Renolds chain. Incidentaly, Coventry Chains made the drive chains for WW1 tanks.
  10. Renold chains had a virtual monopoly in WW2. Motorcycle magazine advertisements at the time made this clear.
  11. I too have them. I guess the holes must be later mods.
  12. Hesitate to pose this again. But as I near the completion of one ML and start on the next (yes, really) I am still confused by the routing of the cable to the rear light. Ron's clips (see the other thread) is by far the neatest and most sensible (which I've used) but I keep seeing them with holes in the rear mudguard to route the cable through. Is this a later adaptation or were there some of both kinds? I seem to have been out of the loop for a long time as I was wooed away by a 1961 AJS.
  13. The cable attaches to the screw connector (arrowed). The cable goes down to the trigger.
  14. I don't think we've ever met. I live in the north. I'll get some better pictures next time it gets worked on.
