Scarsy Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Good morning, I have just bought a 3HW and have been reading all your discussions with interest. Could you please advise of frame TL48754 and engine 3HW58754. Is there any history before starting a sympathetic restoration. Many thanks Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) Hi Kevin. Unfortunately It's nearly always impossible to know the actual working history of our bikes. Yours is the 2337th bike from 4000 under contract C5354 in 1944, with tank census number C5569254. (Same contract as mine) By then the steering damper and knee grips were deleted. A lot of these seemed to have ended up in India. Lucky for you it still has its factory fitted engine (matching number +10,000) Regards Ron PS. Since the first picture, I've changed the canvas saddles and dull chrome push rod tubes. Edited April 22, 2021 by Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarsy Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 Many thanks Ron, any information is helpful. I'm sure once I start the restoration I will be back on here asking questions. Great to see what you have done on your restoration, looks amazing. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may wish to add it the the Triumph WD register at wdtriumph.com Please could you share some more photos of the bike and we may be able to highlight a few area for you Such as the field stand ..I am curious I note the bikes fuel Line has a very large filter are you getting a lot of dirt in the fuel from the tank ?

Kevin, I have a surplus barrel and head if you want. Shipping maybe a problem though. Kostas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
