Here's a picture of the complete repro's and some more loose parts. Lex
-
Here it is, with pricing, but that's about 4-5 years ago. let me know how you get on, I also can get the metal ends lasercut, have the files for that, and the special tool to form them, then you only need to source the red striped elastic, JoB. had an address for that in the boating world. Lex anna.cingrosova@seznam.cz Price for 7 bands with metal hooks is 9 pounds a piece Do you need complete set (63 Pounds) or just elastics (45 Pounds)? Regards Anna

I'll find the emailaddress to order the bungies. Lex
-
Ah, I see now, prop. p/l. is for 2 contracts! Lex
-
Yes, I see now, and by the looks of it, the saddle has always been on/with the bike, so now we know that is right, also the propietry parts list shows 7 cords, now why did I cut up some saddle frames to make them into Norton ones??? But my p/l for your contract Ron, shows both the bungies and the springs???? Cheers, Lex

Re. the bungy seats, note there were two basic types, BSA had 7 of them, and Norton 6, don't ask me why though! What is the number of slots on this bike?? (12 or 14?) Steve, did your pin drive speedo came with the bike originally?? if so, it's another pice of proof, that Matchless fitted trip speedo's to G3WO's. Cheers, Lex
-
Yes, they can be ordered direct in the Czech republic, may be cheaper, and also the loose bungies. Lex
-
Happy new year to all! But as far as I know only some contracts had the elastic cord Lycetts, not all of the G3WO's, check out the parts list and your contract! Certainly the G3L's never used them. Cheers, Lex
-
Here's a picture, apearantly some of the first contracts of G3L's had them too. I'll do my best coming wednesday, but do remind me, never been so bizzy! Lex
-
Ah, I'll find a picture, I'll be there again on Wednesday, then I can buy one, or maybe 2. Lex
-
Note that the G3WO had a different gear lever than the G3L, I think Ron's is ok, but there should be a big round boss behind the rubber, I had one in my hands last monday, but didn't buy it. Lex
-
Yes, all happy hollidays!! Lex
-
That style of ignition was used after the war for export engines (to Sweden and Belgium), and some sort of generator, so deffo not wartime as Ron said. Lex
-
OK, I'm sure it will look good, and protect the cable. Lex
-
Nice!! is it square stock, like the originals?? G3's seem to have used a little tube?? it may be the picture though that makes it look like a tube? Lex
-
Yes most 7/8" clamps and levers initially used the same castings, so it should be posible to machine them out, I made a special fixture for that, to modify various bits and pieces. I do remember I found you some stuff Ron, but then lost it again, so I might still have a set, but where??? Lex
-
They are difficult, and I looked for them when parts hunting last monday, but nothing yet! I do have a spare of the little lever, but nothing else, think Ron got my last complete one? Cheers, Lex
-
Steve, Nice work!, but make sure when the wheel is in the front forks, check the brake achor lip, if just touching the forks (where the bolt goes through), it's OK, but if there's a gap, use a washer as a shim, if too tight, you have to bend the lip back a hair, sometimes this happens, and you don't want the whole brake plate to be crooked and under tension. Lex
-
Yes, think it's a very good idea, better one very original bike, than 2 "bitza's" Lex
-
That's exactly as the factory tool, there was a company here in Holland that made all the tools lasercut them, but they stopped doing it, when I'm near there, I'll try to get the DFX files from them, so I can have it done myself. Lex
-
Ron, that's the second type I think, I still have some of the earlier ones, they are a yellow can, stinks awfully, so must be good! Lex
-
Ok, I used 2 pack silver, and 2 pack varnish, but this was over 10 years ago, so don't know what I used at the time, but it is still on there! It's gone a bit yellow though. Think any good 2 component paint will work. Lex
-
Nice work Steve!! let me know which gear you need, have some NOS ones, but first gear is lower on the G3L's. Cheers, Lex
-
Yes, that's the right one! Civilian 1946 G3L's also had them fitted, but they are rarer than G3's, I got quite a few from Alan, but nothing left, maybe Jan borrowed one of my originals? I can't remember anymore. An alternative is to search for a 1948-1949 one, with the central mounting bolt, and modify that one, the main shape is the same. Not even the Indians make these as far as I know. Good luck, Lex
-
Sorry, all gone, but they could be the same as 1946-1948 G3L's? Cheers, Lex
