The last time I used one of these was doing the trunnions on my '51 Prefect...a weekly requirement if I remember - (actually you OILED the trunnions but I just wanted to say 'trunnions' once more before I die). And those items which required greasing had NIPPLES - there, I said it out loud. NIPPLES :D

Thanks, James. I know how annoying this can be. It takes some work to keep a website clean. I follow other websites and occasionally check out other members on the list to see what part of the world they live in plus share similar interests. If one comes across a site where the last 250 members are...

Re: bogus member
Strange that this site tolerates one bogus member ( recent list +250 times ) to invade the registry with graffiti. As it stands no new legitimate members will join. Now it has been clarified somewhat ...while these things are a nuisance, why would that prevent others from joining? Serious question.

Re: SU spacer on twin cam
I’m toying with the idea of removing the coolant spacer thingy between the head and the SU carbs on my twin cam. Looks like the bolt pattern will match by putting the carbs straight on the inlet manifold casting of the head. My concern is that I won’t have the ‘ soft mounting ‘ with the Tha...

Yes, B18C - haven't been able to drive it properly yet.zephyrgary wrote:Is that theone with a V Tech? Sweet.
I'll probably find out how it goes at the track and probably stuff it into the wall while doing so!
Plan was to strip the interior, cage it etc but it is a bit too nice for that so, I may just sell it!

I wonder why the change for the same sized brakes?? Cheaper to produce and supposedly less maintenance. Even though the dreadful automatic brake lever adjusters were useless. You still had to manually adjust the brakes by removing the drum and turn the adjuster wheel with pliers. Better to use the ...
