    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
  7. welbike
    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
  12. welbike
    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
  13. welbike
    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
  16. welbike
    I just sold the last ones to Tom! but I think they are the same as the postwar ones? Cheers, Lex

    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

  23. welbike
    Ok, but compared with the rear axle the front is a doddle! Lex
  24. welbike
    Very thick rubber wire! See picture.

    Cheers Ron, I just cannot get to my bike right now! now it's up to someone to make drawings of everything, I have invited Arne here, who has made lot's of drawings already, so I presume he can make these too, and a big oversight one, to see what goes where would be handy! I guess for the time being I can modify the above one, as it's not complete. Lex
