chris do you realise that because the council does not allow builders,plumbers roofers etc to dump waste they add the cost to your bill so you are paying twice for dumping YOUR RUBBISH.

agree with all above, especially jason b very helpful gary

speedy recovery clive, keep us up to date with the bees, i find it very interesting. gary.

rare nice day here in the north east of scotland so decided to take my rudge for a blast, just got off a roundabout when i had a sudden rear wheel blow out, very scary i thought the frame had snapped. a closer look showed red insulating tape had been used instead of a proper rim tape with the result the tube had been rubbing on the spoke nipples. i had given up on armours for a new exhaust for my velocette and sourced one elsewhere so decided to fit it when i got the rudge home. turns out it is 3" to long, i remember when the wife used to say better long than short. o well better attack the nice new chrome with a hacksaw gary

no reply to emails or phone before the 14th or today, will try again tomorrow. gary

hi, i have been trying to contact armour motor products for a week now without success, does anyone know if they still trade, regards gary

nice bike shaun,which ignition did you fit, i am well on with restoring my 1937 mss. cant make up my mind old magneto or electronic. regards gary

could you please explain, i have been getting parts powder coated for years without any rust issues.regards gary

hi chris, they can be stiff to move but try giving it a good hard pull, you shouldnt damage anything. above the pinch bolt there is a taper pin which keeps the head vertical, tightening this withdraws the taper. never move the speed dial when the motor is off regards gary

well done nick, what next?

thanks for the info iant, very interesting.

thanks andrew, thats just what i was looking for. impressed with your gear cutting! thanks

hi folks, can any member reccomend a good book on horizontal milling, i have a machine and loads of cutters but never used it in earnest finding the vertical mode more convenient.

nothing difficult about plating the heads only tim, simply hang them with a copper wire into the plating tank. very few bolts on a bike need need high torque eg mudguards,stays petrol and oil tanks

nickel plating looks best on an old bike and if polished can look like chrome but everything has to be grease free,dont worry about embrittlement as you only do the heads on bolts. a kit will last you years if looked after.

sorry for offending you john, just a wee bit of humour.
