  1. Yes it's all good fun Bob. Do you mean Normandy in June? Ron
  2. Whilst standing, some oil can leak down into the crankcase, especially if there is some wear to the timing side crank shaft bush which will allow the timing case to drain down. After it all returns to the tank the situation should be normal. I'd give it a good 5-10 mile run, to determine if any further action is needed. Ron

  4. Bloody well done Jan and very timely! I originally and erroneously fitted rubber knee grips to mine and after removing them, they've left a mark in the paint. The bike is next on the bench to fit the original rear chainguard which came from you.....Which needs top coat paint, and I'm planning to respray the tank at the same time. 👍 Ron
  5. Ah I see! Not post war! War time production, but not within the WD contracts. Maybe Jan will have some information on those? Were they still being produced for the civilian market or perhaps for other essentual services? Ron
  6. Well that's an easy project for someone to finish off. Is this your post war frame? Usually the front saddle mount would be different. It seems that the inspector only stamped the spare engines? Ron
  7. My Flea has it's repeat frame number stamped with no plate. I've never noticed an inspctors stamp but will take another careful look. Ron
  8. The plate on my ML is lubrication info. Ron
  9. That is the military tnspectors acceptance stamp. Absolutely WD. Each inspector had his own Identfying (3 digit) number. In your case it's miss stamped and only showing th #2....Which was quite common. Here is the inspector in the Welbike factory. Later in the film that this still was taken from, you see him stamping the frames. Possibly your engine was a spare engine, hence the plate. I expect Jan will know. I'll be interested to see what the plate says. Ron
  10. It's just plain greedy. 😄😄 Ron
  11. Good find Lex. As they say " The cost is forgotten long after the quality is felt. Ron
  12. Me too for a tail lamp. My Velo MAF has a repro. Ron
  13. Bless you Chris. 👍 Ron
  14. I have this battery box which is missing its Niphan socket, if anyone has one for sale. Like the one in the second picture.

    For anyone else thinking of fitting a solid state regulator. I recommend the DVR2 https://dynamoregulators.com/dvr2.php I gut the innards of the short MCR1 regulator. Cut out the middle part of the fibre board floor, drill a hole in the middle of the metal base, strip the insulating shrink wrap right back and solder the wires onto the already existing terminal posts. It fits nice and snug. Ron

    Well that would be good. I'm sure John will be fine with that. Ron

    You mean this Lex! Actually it's on loan from John T. and made from the crown of an old piston. I was going to get one cast, but Nick is too expensive. So at the moment I have a new shiny repro. Ron

    Good news. My dynamo is charging and DVLA have let me keep the North Ireland number and returned my cheque as there is no charge. Ron

    The sizes are as acurate as I could get them with them installed on the forks. Ron

    The best I can get with a Vernier on all three of mine. L= .85" (21.59mm) H= .5" ( 12.7mm) R= .7" (17.78mm) D= .55" (13.97mm) It wont notice if you round the mm up. 22-13-18-14 Ron

    I use "WELSEAL" on both sides of the crankcase halfs. Allow to stiffen for 1/2 hour or so before joining. The good thing about Welseal is, it never really sets hard. Ron

    I'll measure one in the morning Pawel. Ron

    I don't think it matters. If you look at the original samples that Lex posted. Yellow and Red is shown both ways. Ron

    That's an interesting bike Lex. I quite like the RAF theme on the tank. Since I invested £120 in the dynamo refurb, I might as well see it through all the way. I do like running lights on my way to the beaches. ☺️ Ron
