I understand exactly what you have described and will make one up. 
 

Thanks Ron

Can someone help me I do not have a picture of what holds the gear on the shift for the speedometer drive. Circle in red.

Can someone help me I do not have a picture of what holds the gear on the shift for the speedometer drive. Circle in red.

I don’t know whether it is a roll pin or a cotter pin.

Any help or a picture would be great.

Thanks, Mark

That is great! 

Thank you, now I have a good weekend project.

Thanks Ron

Hi all,

Could someone take a measurement of the bolt center to bolt center on the front brake plate stay. I need to fabricate one as it is missing.

I know its just a flat metal stay but am not sure how long or hole centers.

Thank you 

Thank you guys.  Great help, a weld nut it shall be.

have a great day 

3HW inner primary mount for upper chainguard. 

Can someone please post a picture of the inner primary tab where the chainguard attaches?
I am wondering if it is a weld nut on the inner primary or something else. My inner primary just has a “D” shaped hole. It doesn’t appear to have had a welded nut in the past. 
The Chainguard I have has been butchered so it is of no help for proper mounting either. 

Thank you

Mark

Which cable length are you looking for Mark? Have got a perfect new old stock 23” cable here that I’m willing to sell...

 

I will measure it when I get back by the bike.  Have been away a bit.

I don’t have a Speedo either, so will take a close measure. 

Just collecting as many bits for it as I can. 

Thank you all

Can someone point me in the direction of a speedometer drive and it’s pinion gear gear for my 3HW.   I also am looking for a speedometer cable assembly.

Any help or leads would be appreciated 

Thanks 

Mark

Can someone point me toward some front end parts?

i am in need of parts in circled pictures for the shock absorber.

Friction plates

Bolt and it’s hardware 

Also the tension spring.  I found a small hole spring but am in need of a large hole late model spring. 

Any help would be appreciated 

Thanks

The the thickness of the main deflector is .050”

i hope this helps

Its just a wear mark.  

The ID is .845

the flange is .150 thick

and .150 wide

the OD is 2.625

all in inches.

the part I have the center flange is free spinning, but I don’t believe it is supposed to be.  

I know I may catch some heat for not keeping it in original Military colors, but here is my progress so far on My 3HW project.

Just received my replacement inner primary tin from France, almost perfect one for $50 US.

Some times we do get lucky.

Cheers

Mark

Mine does not have a rubber washer inside or an O ring. It is solid.

I will post sizes later today when I get home from work.

Thank you Ron

I am used to working on 60,s Triumphs and BSA's.

This is a bit different, and I'm loving it.

My 3hw had a small copper ring as a head gasket when I disassembled the engine.

It looked home made and out of place.

The parts book does not list one and I was told it may not have had one.

I have never owned or worked on a machine that did not have a head gasket.

Can one of you please enlighten me.

Please and thank you

How it got to the middle of a corn field in Wisconsin USA is my mystery.  

I really appreciate all of the input from you all here. 

I fount the main section in Greece,and have had several parts made at a machine shop.  I unfortunately am using the top and bottom castings from India 

i will replace them when I find originals. I am looking also for the right side dampening spring assly. I have had my feelers out a while including a man I met from Egypt with no luck so far. 

But am determined as I know there are some sitting somewhere someone doesn't need. 

It had been fitted with a later telescopic front end with this speedo. 

(Which I have now received a girder to restore & install in its place)

I wish this bike could talk to tell its story. I am sure like all the old vehicles discuss here, there would be hours of great stories!

Thanks Ron

Hello all,

Just looking for any information I can get, as to where this 3HW may have ended up after production.

I believe it ended up in the far east, and it has grey / blue paint in the corners that had not  been stripped off by the last painter.

It is now in my hands for refurbishing in Chicago. (Anyone with spares. please let me know.)

Thanks in advance. Mark G.
