Yes, that used to be mine, was in a terrible state, but complete when I sold it to the UK, But think it needs some more work, and is therefore on the high side. But on the plus side it was in Oosterbeek, Holland, before my own one was ready!

Had to check, but mine has the hole too, you will find when you ride longer distances, the oil will seep out the valve lifter cable hole at the back, this was so bad, that I soldered the supply pipe half shut, seems to be OK now.

Also advisable is to replace the paper gasket for the valve cover, with one made from graphite material, as the paper burns away after a while.

Hello John,

Parts for these are getting more and more difficult, I'm going on vacation tomorrow, but I can try to find some stuff, when back again.

Cheers,

Lex

Nice Ron, but weren't the MT110's always painted in service colour?

Cheers,

Lex

Gary, heard that you are in contact with Tony, and that it is a quite early bike, not sure how early, but nice to know! good luck with the purchase, better safe than sorry.

Cheers,

Lex

Here some more, I didn't like the front of the seat cushion, so I rounded it off, looks much better now.

Lex

Here's some, originally there were coil springs in the seat base, but mine were not original, so went with foam.

Lex

In Europe and the UK not readily available, take the seat with lots of pictures to a canvas guy, and I'm sure they will be able to make something nice.

Will post pic's of my upholstered seat in the next post.

Lex

Ok, I'll have a good look at the pictures later, but these have been made, with various modifications since the war, well into the 60's, and then the overhead valve models came out.

Lex

Numbers are faked all the time, show us some pictures of the whole bike please.

Cheers,

Lex

Will check and send you a message, I lost a lot of contact stuff, hope i still have it,

Lex

Hi Gary, 

Don't want to ruin your party, but your M72 will be most likely from the 60's, as only a handful real M72's exist in the whole world. The thing that it hasn't been registered yet, and it will be difficult! already confirms this, best to contact Tony Jones in Manchester, he knows all about them.

But the sidecar on the other side should not be problem, as I know several people with that.

Cheers,

Lex

Saw the pictures of your footrests already on FB!  nice work!!

Cheers,

Lex

Interesting! I think I have a parts list, will check. just found this picture.

Cheers,

Lex

Nice one! I have it listed in my register as from Simon T. did you buy it from him?

Deleted message. Reason: posted twice.

There is a special one for motorcycles, but cannot find anything in the PC today!

Lex

Here's my original Task for today sign, as used from Normandy to Belgium, where it was found behind a pub after the war. and a little booklet with the instructions.

Lex

Nice one!! hope the newest picture is the top one though.

Cheers,

Lex

Nice! is it K.G. No. 3? probably from a V twin 500, heard there are parts out there in Egypt.

Did you actually check the petrol tank with petrol in it? water and air molecules are bigger, so might stop really small holes, from blowing bubbles, but petrol creeps through every crevice.

Cheers,

Lex

The bike is a German NSU OSL501 or 601.

Very nice pictures!!

Lex

This bike is in Holland now, and we did about 80 miles on it  the last couple of days!

Cheers,

Lex

Yes, Ron, that is the one, he has a nice WD Matchless website too! 

Cheers,

Lex

Thought I said that already on FB, but contact Simon Warner, he had some real nice ones made.

Cheers,

Lex
