Do you mean canvas grips Andy? Originals are very hard to find. There is a bloke who usually sells repos on ebay. His name is 'YELOWBIRDCUSTARD' or similar. Ron
-
I'm sure I could source some thick walled 2 3/4" tube here in UK. But Paz will have to manage where ever he is. I'm guessing Argentina?? Anyway here are the other details. The end of shaft 'C' looks smaller on mine than it does in your picture? Possible different MK's or manufacturers! Ron
-
Forget that 70mm tube! Try and find some 2 3/4 inch stuff Ha Ha. I'll get round to those other measurements later. Will have to unlace my canvas butt cover!!!!!????? Ron
-
If you have the capability and skills. Make the whole thing and working. I have seen replicas selling for silly money. I wonder if I could be lucky with drawings/pictures of a hand spike for my 2 pounder anti tank gun? Ron
-
No problem with measurements and pictures, I'll forward these to you by email. Ron
-
OK I did it anyway. I'm stuck indoors waiting for a parcel to be delivered. All measurements are in Napoleonic!! and good to within 1mm or so... My foot is telescopic, so measured in the down position. Ron
-
I have an original de-act PIAT and would sit down and do those measurements if no one gets there first. Best to PM me with your email address. Ron

Yes I do Lex, but these ones have proper four stroke engines. Ha Ha! Ron
-
Just for interest. Here are a couple of the smaller WO bikes. Both are 1939 and 250cc SV. They are BSA KC10 and Royal Enfield WD/D. Ron
-
Yes Lex I had to curve the gear change lever a bit and some blow holes in my welding have had to be rectified and back to the plate shop. Thanks Niels! I was sorely tempted to paint it army green and pretend I had the only BSA/ Indian get together prototype from 1943. But that would be lying and I also needed something shiny for a change. Ron
-
'P' Phantom signals! Over to the experts on vehicle markings. Would a Phantom signals vehicle have carried the Allied star? Or more likely an RAF recognition roundel? Ron
-
I know there's not much interest for this here! But it is all military. It's running now and sounds just like it should.....A concrete mixer! I can't ride it yet as I had to alter the gear change lever which has gone back to the plate shop. I'll post these final pictures and then get my coat. Ron
-
Not long now then Tom! Did the fan belts arrive yet? Any good? Ron

TL36648 was part of contract S1246 for 2500 bikes built between June-Sept 1943. I calculate your tank census number to be C5205248. Your bike is fairly early in that contract so I would guess a supply date in mid 1943. You should have a frame build date on the top lug under the saddle which should read something like:- TEC 4.43. I just made the date up and TEC = Triumph Engineering Co. Ron
-
Well done. Please keep me posted. Regards Ron

Google 'Draganfly' or 'Rob Van Meel' Ron

Geoff Meyers usually has lots of 3HW stuff. I'm sure I've seen valves/springs on his Stall. Kempton Park tomorrow where he usually is. He's the brother of Les at Russells, so you could also ring Les. I have contact details for both if you need them. Ron
-
Don't forget to fit the essentials. You can not win a war without a wailing siren and a baseball bat. Ron
-
Thanks Barry. I'll keep them as another option. Ron
-
I just found this firm who list the belt I need. I'll await their reply to my email. Ron http://www.northwestclassic.co.uk/index.html
-
Yes indeed Chris. That is the very number on my Tilly belt. Measured today by a local firm at about 47" inside, But probably stretched a bit. Have you got a name/number for that firm in Newbury? Ron
-
Thanks but a scan through their product range seems to be the same as the others. Nothing at 19mm (3/4"). I think it's a case of finding a (tractor) firm who have some old stocks. I'll keep looking. But I'll ring that firm in Lincoln first. It's not urgent......I just don't want to be beaten!! Ron
-
Have you got a name/contact detail for this tractor firm please? Ron
-
Does anyone know of a supplier of fan (V) belts for classic vehicles? There is nothing between 17mm-22mm wide from modern supplies. My Tilly belt is about 3/4" (19mm). Thanks Ron
