Ready to go! This part is ready to have the tooling made, if there is enough interest! As a first move forward in the Ukraine setup might be this prewar kick-start/gear-change rubber B60/2, which for at least twenty years has been sold under this part-number with a closed end… which is completely wrong! And yes,…

Rigid Velocette Top Yokes for WEBB forks
Somebody please help. I am trying to get the one or other thing produced for rigid Velocette’s and would prefer, if possible, to be able to initiate or keep (once established) the production process here in the UK, close to the market centre and close to central distribution-channels. I am not able to manufacture anything…
Saved rigid MSS from Australia
The the old year is gone … and can be done and dusted. A strange mix for me, towards the end more and more challenging. The time of year when I should be doing my own bike and helping others do theirs, ‘God willing’, has left me with a logistically difficult re-location which has…
Anyone for GTP?
This coming week looks like being an interesting one!! ‘Pud’ has decided to let me have a go at the gearbox on his early 1939 GTP, which is a bit different for me, as I’ve never actually worked on one of these bikes, or one of these gearboxes, either (the same internals, though as the…
Slight Change Of Plans!
Early MSS ‘Map of Africa” Well, while the blog as such hasn’t been moving forward in the sense of regular postings, there indeed has been a lot going on in all sorts of ways in the background. There have been a couple of new ‘events’ and some changes in emphasis, as well as a very…
A Quick 50W Update
ZAP! This is main beam of the 50W setup, through the fluted, flat lens And this the dipped beam. Out on the street, this looked quite different: Main: …and dipped-beam, again: Projected through these eyes. The problem over the last few days is, that it has been wet, and so the light reacts very differently…
My Startup News
Been wondering why there has not been so much blog activity recently? There has been an awful lot going on in the background, and while it was happening, I didn’t want to make any premature announcements, in case things didn’t go quite according to plan… As it happens, more has actually gone according to plan,…
It’s a Hercus!!
New member of the family… Yesterday it finally happened. I’ve been pacing around like an expectant father for the last week, as I have been looking for a lathe for a while now, and last week I went to see one that finally fit the bill (or rather, the budget!). A ‘used’ looking 9” Hercus…
8″ Miller HID-Conversion
Ever wondered what the world looked like at night beyond the yellow glare of the street-lamps? Now’s the time to find out and even for the let’s-keep-everything-original (well, original looking, anyway) buffs, here is a low-profile change that could save your life or someone that you love (no-one else gets to ride the bike, rest…
1:9 Scale Velocette Model
To blog, or not to blog… I really must apologise for the break, I am, however very tied up with family business which has to take priority at the moment. There have been hours when I have been in the workshop comparing gearbox-parts and working out what I’m going to need to get one of…
KA169/2 Pillion footrest rubbers
Proper rigid pillion footrests
What they look like is what you get: Correct footrest rubbers for the rigid Velocette MAC, MOV, MSS and KSS. They fit original parts using the original screws AND the patterns, too
Please let me know by email if you would like some/one of these or look for them on eBay!
