An 1944 Ariel W/NG has found it's way in to my possesion (I must stop looking at forsale adds) It has possibly been in the Danish army after the war, then civilised and 10 years or so ago it war restored to this.
It is running and driving, though the carburator needs abit of adjustment, its running to rich and soots the plug.
I would like to get it back to its war time configuration, because this is how they also looked in the danish army, They still had their wartime census numbers on at this time.
Can any one help with spotting what is wrong or missing, and possibly direct me towards where I will find it and what will be the correct to buy for it?
What I have found to be wrong via looking on the net is:
Missing the steering damper and knob.
Possibly the glass in the light schould be flat?
The brackets for the headlight schould be steel strip and not tube.
non original bracket for speedo
non original Speedo and to long cable
non original battery strap
non original side stand.
Missing both triangular toolboxes
Missing carrier/pannier frame
non original stop light, but I am getting the original.
non original horn
non original regulator box.
From looking on the net it seems that Draganfly might have many of the pieces missing, but I am not sure what to buy.
It has a solid state regulator which I might want to fit in to an original regulator housing.
Cheers
