It looks like it's fitted with an earlier 8" headlamp? Ron

Well the air is sucked in the front and has to pass through all the felt baffles on route to the out spout. The whole cage is also covered in felt from front to back. Considering the bikes left the factory with no filter at all, I guess it must work as well as the Vokes which has a series of felt tubes.
Also being tank top filters, they are high up away from anything that is emidiately stired up by the wheels. Ron

Balfour Beatty took over the whole of the racecourse for storage and the offices for proposed major road works and building in the area.
They told the current lease holder to take it up with the Jockey Club, who replied that BB had made an offer they couldn't refuse and suggested he might like to take legal action........What would be the point of that against such giants.
I have no idea where the construction was taking place. Ron

Yes I have one of your adapters Lex👌 Ron

They are a bit bigger than a Vokes, but do make a good talking point. Like me Steve. Why the hell not?? I've even made my own interpretation of the knacker protector that is clearly visible in one picture (but without good detail)
So many other guys fitting these horrible great dated canvas discs to their filler cap necks......Which never happened!! Ron

Pawel. Bare in mind that the clutch rollers for a Triumph are not the standard 1/4 x 1/4 rollers. They are in fact about 12 thousands of an inch shorter in the length. The standard rollers will give you no end of trouble and grinding of gears.
Ron
PS you can of course grind some off the end of 1/4" rollers.

I'd say that the kick start and gear change levers are dull plated. The rest is paint. Ron

Fabulous stuff Jan. I keep going back over it. I notice quite a few Terry and Lycette covers without that top panel seam.

My own thoughts are that unlike the Vokes filter that were standard issue or fitted at the factory, the Talflow's were shipped out to the far east and fitted as required.
I'm always willing to learn more. Ron
PS Steve. The way I read that is "no pictures have been seen so far" with the date 2020 of the publication of that article. Maybe email Rob for confirmation. Other wise I do have a complete Vokes here, selling for Lex!!

That would be interesting to see! Have you checked out Rob VdB's site https://www.wdnorton.nl/
So far I've only got original pix of four M20's with Talflow's and all in Burma.
The India Office 16H's seem to have been fitted with a filter by the rear wheel. Ron

Andy my C10 featured in this thread is a 1940 model WC10. Genuine WD, built and despatched in 1939. Being a 1940 model, it has the later speedo drive driven on the outside of the left hub.
My other C10 is the earlier KC10 and has the angled speedo drive through the brake plate, like yours would need. Back then it was an optional extra and would have come with a blanking plug in the brake plate.
Like I said on the "C" forum yesterday, the first thing is to establish if you have the bigger drive gear on the hub. None of these parts are going to be easy to find. The BSA angled speedo drive is unique but there is a way round that, but still very difficult to find.
First picture 1939 model, second picture 1940 model. Ron

Yes well done Lex😊 I can't recall seeing that side stand on anything else military. I doubt it was made specially for this job, so probably something pre war civy? Royal Enfield?? Ron
PS I see part of a Doherty (Norton) twist grip in that pile!
16h Drive side crankcase.

I expect someone has drilled a small hole to use a thin drift for bearing removal. I always do it on Royal Enfield engines and use a pop rivet shaft as a drift after heating the case in an oven. Ron
