Hi I also have one took a while to get used to the controls being the wrong way round,I also have an mt350,the wd is nice for bimbling along,but if I wanted to go a distance or get there a bit quicker I would use  the mt350.Mine didn't come from far from you,I brought it from Dave who is  a  friend of the man that runs the website.

Simon

Hi try Force motorcycles or LMS if you want them from a dealer, if you don't mind possibly waiting a bit I would recommend joining the online MT owners club and put a wanted advert on there,this normally turns up the bits you require.I have one and think there best.

Simon

Hopefully see you at war and peace and if you have an idea of what you want I can speak to my friend in The Netherlands to see what is about,as there is a better choice over there,if you could get them with power steering I would of gone for one,I especially like the radio body ones.I can think of a good home for the Ferret 😀😀😀😀😀.

See you soon Simon

All the votes have been counted and there will be an announcement shortly(it went better than the general election did for some parties:-)

Simon

Dodge is now sold thanks for looking.

Simon

Thanks Simon

Hi we discussed it at our area meeting last Thursday and had it explained to us,so as not to create confusion ( in case I remembered bits wrong as I was not taking notes),it seems to be a good scheme,I would suggest you have a chat with your area rep who might be able to answer any questions,

It will be fully explained at the AGM next month when everybody there will be able to ask questions before there is a vote on it,so it would be good if as many people as possible could get there.

Simon

That's a strange coincidence as also seen it on e bay and was going to ask the forum for advice as didn't think there were any AJS WD bikes and the pictures are identical?,not keen on Q plates (as once you poke the bear you never know where you will end up) and have run into dvla bureaucracy before 😀😀😀

That said it is a nice bike do you think it could be turned into a AFS replica?

Simon

Hi pm'd you

Lovely looking bike I would love one of those especially in that condition very well done.

Slightly jealous Simon😀

I always wanted a fantic but couldn't afford one so ended up with a new Casal if anybody remembers them,though it was a step up from my raliegh runabout.

Simon

We have also sent our entry off and am also looking forward to it.

Simon

Hi you are in the North island aren't you as it gets a bit hotter up there( we have friends down south),do you go to the WarBirds show as we are hoping to come over next year to see our friends and visit the show

Hi I had similar problems as you with over heating on warm days with my M37,changed the pump,all hoses, thermostat,checked spreader tube and repeatedly flushed everything,then took my radiator to a shop who completely re cored it and have had no problems since,wish I had done it sooner😀 and have had no problems with over heating since even on very warm days.

Simon

Most of the time number two sometimes no seven depending who goes, always do our best to hid modern stuff and use military tents etc,I like shows where you can move around which is one of the many reasons for going to war and peace😀

Simon

Welcome to the forum what other bikes have you got.I am into bikes to and am slowly working my way backwards towards WW2 bikes lol

Simon

Hi,the thermostat goes under the bit you have in your hand,there should be an elbow coming out of the top of the pump with a short bit of hose going to the stub on the side of the bit you have in your hand,this let's a small amount of water bypass the thermostat before it opens.

I would agree with the above comment check the spreader tube that is behind the water pump as this sends the water to the rear of the cylinder head and does often rot out and cannot be done once the radiator is back in place.

Simon

It looks very similar to the one on my B40 when that was playing up There was a selection available on a well known internet site from ones made abroad to English ones it depends on how original you need it to be..

Simon

Thanks to all the responses,i have rung cherished and they were very helpfull and very reasonably priced compared to some other insurances companies,my exsiting insurer had refused to insure it as it wasnot over 25 years old,i can`t see them getting the go ahead at renewal :cool2:

Simon

Hi can anybody recommend a reasonable insurance company as I am looking at a ex USAF pick up but as it's only 21 years old I am having trouble getting a reasonable price any recommendations gratefully received.

Thanks Simon

Thanks for that are you running the cents etc both days as per normal as my mate wants to come over but doesn't want to miss them,i had a look on the website but can't see a timetable

Thanks Simon

Evening is any body going to the above next weekend as I went two years ago and it was a great little show so was wondering who might be going,all being well now the Dodge is running again I am going on the Friday ,it was good seeing the cent running around the arena and everyone was laid back and very friendly.

Simon

Now have new regulator thanks for looking.

Simon

Thanks to all who replied just fitted new regulator and now have just under 28 volts going to battery and the gauge is in the green,so hopefully that will solve my problems till something else happens .

Simon

Hi as per earlier post does anybody have a voltage regulator for a 1952 Dodge m37 if so please let me know asap.

Thanks Simon
