Flying_flea Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hi, Ant here’s the wiring diagram. I’ve asked a friend about the census number for you. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying_flea Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 WD/RE # 6185 was sent to War Dept. depot on the 17th February 1942.It is from contract # S/12945 for 4000 machinesS/1945 WD/RE census number = ( frame number + 5.107.000 )This gives C5113185 for this machine hope this helps 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Same contract as mine. The correct Royal Enfield font and size stencils are now available from Axholme signs. Reference "Jan Vandevelde" if you contact them. https://www.axholmesigns.co.uk/ The paint code is BS 499 Service Brown. Paint conversion to nearest RAL number can be made here from colour range BS381C https://www.e-paint.co.uk/Colour_alternatives.asp Ron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the census number though... As for the stencils, have a look at this thread: I notice that this is the rather sorry looking project that was on eBay in September 2019... Brave man! 👍 Edited November 8, 2020 by rewdco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying_flea Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Cheers 🙂 I couldn’t remember if it was you or graham who had the details of the C numbers so I just sent an email to both of you, and as soon as I got the info I just posted it 🙂 sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welbike Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) I have run out of my repro's, sold the last one recently, if enough interest I can make more, but they sell very slow, and it's costly to have them made. So not sure if I will fork out close to a thousand pounds to have 10 sets made again. Note these are very different to normal WD bike grips.
