KA169/2 John Bull pillion footrest rubbers for rigid Velocette models. I am proud to offer here the only KA169/2 footrest rubbers for the rigid Velocette range, exactly the same as the original part with the step for the 1936- onwards bikes: Will, of course, fit all the rigid MOV, MAC, MSS and KSS as well as earlier models, too. …
Footrest/Kickstart Rubber B60/2
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,…
Lycett type saddles etc.
The ‘right’ saddle. Let’s face it, if we actually use our machines, one of the things that gets a fair amount of wear and tear, is the saddle. Whichever type we have fitted, at some stage it will need re-covering. There are new covers available which are of a reasonable shape and size, but somehow…
When is a Switch worth a Swap?
What is a copy? What is a replica? Aaaah! The language thing again! Copy, let me see: According to the ‘normal’, current usage of the word, a copy is something that, looks like, and if something functional, actually functions like, something else, that this ‘copy’ proposes to replace or replicate. Hmm. Another word! : Replica!…
The Waiting Game
Don’t we all love it? At the moment there seems to be a slight hiccup with the post, due to Easter, this time… Nevertheless, I can expect delivery sometime within a week, and then I can get on with the packing! The artwork is all finished for the packing slip, just have to print…
First Production Looming
Well, it should have sort of sifted through by now… … I’m not only restoring a Velocette blah,blah, blah, but I’m also setting myself up as a sort of modern-day Don Qixote, Jousting with windmills etc. in my efforts to redress the balance and make parts that FIT, DO THE JOB they were intended for…
Real Glass Miller Rear Lens?
It finally looks as if I actually might have (after 5 months of research) found someone capable and willing to make borosilicate glass mouldings for me for the Miller 36E rear light in less than quantities upwards of 10,000 a Month! The main question is, who will buy them? All the ‘originality’ fetishists will steer…
First Stampings of the ‘Star’
Yep, the day has arrived, when I can see the results of my first ‘remote’ job being completed. As an industrial pattern-maker, my main line is making ‘wooden’ patterns for castings (not always really wooden and these days I’m working hard on some CAD to get stuff CNC’d). Due to a change in family circumstances,…
New 8″ Headlamp Brackets
Yes, that’s right! Just a quicky! Well, today was a good day… I picked up the initial batch of Headlamp-Brackets (or stays as some will still insist on calling them!) for the WEBB forks and Miller 8″ headlamp, so good for Velocette, Norton, Triumph and other manufacturers also on their pre-war Girders. NOT, I might…
Miller Rear Light Update
A Much Better Rear Light – From Taiwan Not that anyone would (not) notice the difference in the quality of these two parts, without me saying anything about them, but here goes anyway!! Unless you see them side-by-side, how would you know? The one on the right, needless to say, is the one of Indian…
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!
