Ron Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Here is a Triumph that made it back. It's an 'impressed' bike and judging by the small headlamp and chrome parts, I'd guess it's a 3SE. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfleasteve Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 Cheers Leggy! Nice picture Ron, I would tend to agree with you that it’s a 3SE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfleasteve Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 A really medial question, I am after a new headlamp and pilot bulb for my head lamp. I can see the headlamp bulb is 6v 24w but the pilot bulb is missing. Can I ask where you guys source your bulbs.......? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) There's plenty on ebay but I can't remember the watage? I guess 8W would give you a reasonable running light without using the headlamp bulb.

flyingfleasteve Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 The original petrol tank is in a very sorry start so whilst at Malvern a few weeks ago I found a temporary 3HW tank, still in need of repair, but much more solid.....apart from the big holes!

Ron Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Steve if you tacked a little plate over the filter hose gully and body filled over it (Can be removed at a later date) and stuck a Triumph badge with two dummy screw heads to the tank top, no one would know the difference.

Ron Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Position of badge! I'm not sure if I still have a spare one? Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfleasteve Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Yeah in hindsight Ron I should of tacked a plate over and filled the filter gully. That might be a job after Normandy now...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
