Thanks Lex - what is it for?
-
on the 16h crank case drive side bearing mounting, there is a small hole at the bottom of the bearing holder - is this for a screw or something?
-
I thought these were only manufactured until the early 1940’s, when the factory was destroyed by bombing and Vokes took over the contract?
-
I have just bought a “Talflow” air filter from India. It is definitely very old and “crusty”, but has some curious stamps on it and I was wondering if anyone knows what they mean please?
-
Thanks, that’s great. Gary
-
Hi, can anyone please advise me which way round the 1/2 time pinion should be fitted to my Norton 16H please, and should it have a washer behind it? I currently have one new from India and have fitted it with the dished side (concave) inwards. Thanks Gary.
-
Hi Ron, Ive just bought one of those Tall-flow airboxes from Pakistan. Where could I get one of those 90 degree bends to fit it to my 276 carb please? Thanks Gary.
-
Thanks Guys, I'll try Ron's tip to make a "Dummy" one. Is it possible to get an immobiliser anywhere please? Thanks Gary.
-
Would both of the attached suppressors have been used on WD Motorcycles together or one per bike please? Are these also the "immobilisers"? thanks Gary.
-
Thanks for your help guys.
-
Is it just 1 per bike? and how much are they please? Thanks Gary.
-
Thanks guys - where can I get these contract plates from please?
-
Hi Lex, thanks, It's a 1944 Royal Enfield WD/CO Frame. M10798, census No.C5108998
-
Hi Lex sorry about the delay replying. Yes those contract plates are what I am looking for. Is the contract number the same as the census number? Gary
-
Hi, does anyone know if there is someone who can reproduce the brass Data Tags/Plates for ww2 British Motorcycles please? Thanks.
-
Thanks Ron
-
Why would they not have been used on a WD/CO please?
-
Thanks Lex, I have attached a photo of my air box - is it a Vokes?
-
Would my 1944 WD/Co have possibly been fitted with a metal Air Filter Box attached to the carb in place of the rectangular tool box? and would this be attached by a rubber tube please? Thanks Gary.
-
Can anyone offer me some advice as to how best to free a seized piston from a 1939 Velocette MOV please. The piston is still connected to the conrod which is connected to the crankshaft via a rusty/seized big end! Thanks Gary.
-
Is it legal (but probably not advisable) to ride to /from events with original DR's helmets on? when "in uniform" please.
-
Thanks for all your help guys - it has been invaluable. It is a 1944 WD/Co. I realise this bike was probably not in Africa/Italy but it was in need of restoration and as my Grandfather served as a motorcyclist in the 1st Kings dragoon Guards all through the war, I felt it would be appropriate for me to mark the bike as such. Thanks again Gary.
-
I'm not sure, but it must have been very similar if not. They were The Royal Dragoons when the Eagle was captured at Waterloo, so possibly the same badge .
-
Thanks guys. the 2 headed Eagle was the cap badge , but the Regimental insignia was the French Eagle (captured at Waterloo) .This was the one displayed on their vehicles.
-
I am restoring a ww2 Royal Enfield and would like to use Formation markings/Arms of Service marks etc for the 1st Kings dragoon Guards in Italy about 1944. I believe they used there own regimental sign, a french Eagle in a white rectangle, I think the AoS marks were green over blue with a white 44 and white bar at the top (Armoured car Regiment - Corps troops) and A 7th Armoured Div - Desert Rat sign. Does anyone have any pics of the Eagle etc please? Any advice would be welcome, Many Thanks Gary.
