Prefix 10 Velo gearbox Today I decided to take the two boxes apart and compare them… The 10-prefix one (pictured above) looked pretty dry (despite being the later one), so I thought that I would start there… Not many nuts and bolts holding this together, so no wonder that any oil that might have…
Even More (expensive) Rubbish
Do you still believe in Father Christmas? When I came home today I was greeted by the parcels that had been promised to me. I bought a nearly complete MkII KSS motor on eBay in November, which I paid on the 1st of December. Due to various reasons (for example the seller ‘had family problems’)…
Two Boxes of Gear(s)
Choices, choices! Having looked through my box of bits again, I dragged out the other gearbox in there…Interesting! Had a look at the numbers, of course not so obvious on the photos, but one is 5-5741 (which places it squarely in the 1939 category with one-down, three-up arrangement which would go together nicely with…
Head J.O.B / Fuel-Tank
You don’t have to be a ‘shrink’… to see what’s going on inside THIS head, that’s for sure! Apart from the butchery from yesterday’s tale, today we have a story about – you guessed it! – mods and rockers! Next off is the bevel gear housing, which comes off with three nuts, two directly behind…
KSS Cylinder-Head & Gears
Or a bunch of rather butchered bits How photos can lie!! Just look at this picture above, for example! Looks magnificent! The start of a superb new project, almost finished, even!! WRONG! And so the voyage of discovery goes on. Only trying to turn the engine by the crankshaft damper (no clutch or chain)…

SO, today I had a real walkaround and took a closer at the MAC to see what parts would be needed to turn this into a real stunner. On top of this will come the cost of blasting (where necessary, which I don’t really think that it will be) priming and painting/powder-coating and the…
More photos of the MAC
Still waiting to get put on a transport, Alan sent me 4 more pictures of ‘my’ MAC, giving me a better idea of what is there and what is not… What’s most obvious is the empty headlamp-shell. Looks like a 7” unit, reflector not a problem, will be converted to Halogen or HID bulb anyway….
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!
