Not that I did that, no of course not...

The 1969/70 has a smaller hex (1 1/8 AF) than the A10 nut and allows the use of an 1 1/8 AF ring spanner or a deep socket. The A10 item is larger across flats and (11/16 whitworth size)not enought clearance for a ring in the recess on the brake plate.

« Last post by CheeserBeezer on 04.09. 2024 15:11 »I pride myself on getting projects done quickly, but this one keeps slipping to the back of the garage. So, progress again. All the tinware taken to the painting man! He's promised it for later this month. I'm not sticking with standard colours and am going for black frame (already done), red tinware, black headlamp and shrouds. I've just pressure tested the Indian tank and masked it ready for painting, and order the transfers from the BSAOC. The engine and gearbox and wheels are in and instruments and mag and dyno ready to be fitted. Maybe get the whole thing finished early spring......then onto the next one!

Lucas, Ignition, Charging, Electrical / Lead crystal battery
« Last post by morris on 04.09. 2024 14:33 »Had a lead crystal battery given to me recently for testing. As the AGM I had in was near the end of its life I decided to plug in the LC. First results are positive. It holds its charge very well but haven’t tested it yet with full headlights on. One of the advantages (so I’ve been told) of a lead crystal battery is that it can handle deep discharges, which has always been an issue with the AGM’s I had before. Once discharged below 11v, the AGM’s never recovered very well. Best one I had lasted a good 4 years. Let’s see how the LC behaves

Cheers Bill - at least I get spoiled once a year
I think I'm a bit of a whippersnapper regarding my age, but I'm not far off a reasonably significant round figure (bit like me really). 
Love the herring 'gag' (geddit)🤣🤣

Just can't beat a chunk of lamb. My #1 fave - that girl spoils you!
I'll think of you as I gag on the skin of a herring and a stale crust later . . . .
