I have the pressed ones which I will measure, but I actually made some flat plates so I could put a side car on. If you are not worried about originality, I think the flat plates work fine, and were easy to make. Anyway I can give more info about both next week. Here's a pic of the flat ones. You wo...

Hi Scott, I can take pics and measurements of 1948 front engine plates. I think they are the same parts for 1950. However I will not be back home to do it until mid next week.

Mine is on a Sq4, wired in circuit after the ignition key. So it is only on when the ignition is on. Not sure what you would do on a magneto bike, probably just pull one spade off the back of the meter when not in use. I bought a very cheap ebay one, not expecting it to last, just long enough to be ...

I bought a Paul Goff one. I made up a mounting plate for the fork top nut. The idea was to use it until I had confidence in the charging system, then remove it. It helped me work out that I had a voltage regulation problem. The volt meter was installed after, as a diagnostic, because the led kept fl...

The part appears to be part number 51274 "air bleed" Solex part numbers.pdf For some reason my carb had a 1.5 needle and seat, it should be a 2.0. I bought rebuild kit 900.SK26 from this business (located in Australia): https://classiccarbs.com.au/Classic-Carburettors/Carburettor-Overhaul-...

Yes metal chop saws spread a lot of sparks. Mine is portable and I move it onto the lawn to cut. As you're from the oil and gas and gas sector, what do they do for spark containment on the job? A leather tent and fire watcher? Here's an idea, could you train the dog? Just kidding. I once had a borde...

I have been reading Paul's Healey story and I am wondering if any members have any fire prevention in their garage? I usually remove the battery fuse from the bikes. I keep the fuel cans in another place away from the bikes. I am pretty careful when welding and grinding, I have a fire blanket hangin...
