  1. Yes it's all good fun Bob. Do you mean Normandy in June? Ron
  2. Whilst standing, some oil can leak down into the crankcase, especially if there is some wear to the timing side crank shaft bush which will allow the timing case to drain down. After it all returns to the tank the situation should be normal. I'd give it a good 5-10 mile run, to determine if any further action is needed. Ron

  4. Bloody well done Jan and very timely! I originally and erroneously fitted rubber knee grips to mine and after removing them, they've left a mark in the paint. The bike is next on the bench to fit the original rear chainguard which came from you.....Which needs top coat paint, and I'm planning to respray the tank at the same time. 👍 Ron
  5. Ah I see! Not post war! War time production, but not within the WD contracts. Maybe Jan will have some information on those? Were they still being produced for the civilian market or perhaps for other essentual services? Ron
  6. Well that's an easy project for someone to finish off. Is this your post war frame? Usually the front saddle mount would be different. It seems that the inspector only stamped the spare engines? Ron
  7. My Flea has it's repeat frame number stamped with no plate. I've never noticed an inspctors stamp but will take another careful look. Ron
  8. The plate on my ML is lubrication info. Ron
  9. That is the military tnspectors acceptance stamp. Absolutely WD. Each inspector had his own Identfying (3 digit) number. In your case it's miss stamped and only showing th #2....Which was quite common. Here is the inspector in the Welbike factory. Later in the film that this still was taken from, you see him stamping the frames. Possibly your engine was a spare engine, hence the plate. I expect Jan will know. I'll be interested to see what the plate says. Ron
  10. It's just plain greedy. 😄😄 Ron
  11. Good find Lex. As they say " The cost is forgotten long after the quality is felt. Ron
  12. Me too for a tail lamp. My Velo MAF has a repro. Ron
  13. Bless you Chris. 👍 Ron
  14. I have this battery box which is missing its Niphan socket, if anyone has one for sale. Like the one in the second picture.
