Ok, I have an original book printed by the SAE board in 1944, so in English, I will see if there's anything in it about track metallurgics. Cheers, Lex
-
Ok, thanks Ron, maybe someone else can measure his rod?? (pun intended!) Cheers, Lex
-
It's very possible that my late friend Dick Pettman had a hand in this Jeep, he's been dealing in Jeeps and spares all his life, he lived in Frant, just south of Turnbridge Wells. But alas, he died 8? years ago. Cheers, Lex
-
OK, sorry for the delay, width of the fork nut are 3/8" the A.F. size 23/32" Cheers, Lex
-
I'll have to measure the nut, do you mean the outside nuts? my forks were (at one time) NOS, and have never taken them apart, here a picture, and the drawing of the washers, but they were only knurled before 1938 or so, and before that they used fiber washers, go figure that out, but it's said they kept the grease in better, and wore out to the right thickness when adjusted too tight real quick. Cheers, Lex STD167 knurled washers.pdf

Don't forget the slim washers between links and yokes! not knurled on these, in fact, you can hardly see them. Cheers, Lex
-
Nice Sam! I still have to check, if I need any or not! Lex
-
Just measured the other side, the end of the rod is also 5/32" x 32 where it screws into the part where the cable ferrule screws into, and that is 2BA, just checked it with a tap, and thread counting device. Getting somewhere! Lex
-
Yes, that is the typical style for 1936-37, a flat plate covers the gaps in the middle of the tank. Also looks like deep bronze green, glossy, as per that era. Will you be restoring as a Military model? would be nice, as there are so many civvy ones already! Also no wings on the "M's" typical before 1938. There is mention of these models in the excellent book from O&M, suggest you get hold of a copy of that. Lex
-
Ron, am just measuring this now, and I find my original is not BA, but 5/32" x 32 tpi. So a Model Engineer thread, can someone confirm? as we're having some repro's made. 5/32" X 32 TPI ME (tracytools.com) Cheers, Lex
-
Yes, white! but also green! looks like the postwar glossy green. Cheers, Lex
-
Nice! so what makes you think it was a Military bike? remains of green paint? As Ron said, pay the price, and ask the owners club for info, I'm at a loss here. Cheers, Lex
-
For 1936 there must have been enough in service to warrant the printing of a spares list. It may be a model G7?? any pictures? Cheers, Lex
-
Yes, now that I have the Norton clip in my hand, there's only a small rivet holding it together. Thanks, Lex
-
I don't think the parts list is right here, haven't checked my P/L's yet though. what is the hole size in the forks?, the rear chainguard is 1/4" from the top of my head? Lex
-
Ah, now we're getting somewhere! thanks to all involved so far! I will measure the Norton one also, thing is, they're not easy to find! Lex
-
Thanks Ron, Steve will have to try and make a picture! he's talking about it, but we rivet counters like to get it 110% correct! Cheers, Lex
-
Is there anyone here, who has an original cable holder for the 2 wires to the headlamp? it's a bit like the Norton one, but less the clip. Please post a picture, or if you have one for sale, let me know. Cheers, Lex
-
OK, here's some more 741's. This time a lone South African one. Lex
-
I just sold the last ones to Tom! but I think they are the same as the postwar ones? Cheers, Lex

Kraftrader - German military motorcycles of The Great War

It was a case of she or the bikes..... (yes there's more, and in the winter also a Howitzer, I see it as art, expensive art even!) Lex -
Interesting stuff guys!! I am about to order all the Stilltime pictures, this is an incredebly large amount of money, and that's why I have been putting it off for some years, but the prices are only going up, so If I have them, I can share them, if people are willing to pay some money for the scans. Cheers, Lex
-
I have run out of my repro's, sold the last one recently, if enough interest I can make more, but they sell very slow, and it's costly to have them made. So not sure if I will fork out close to a thousand pounds to have 10 sets made again. Note these are very different to normal WD bike grips. Cheers, Lex

When I'm not riding it, it lives there permanently! together with some other toys. Cheers, Lex -
The above is the right drawing for the dummy axle for the G3WO. Arne Erikson made it. Cheers, Lex
