« on: 28.08. 2019 10:10 »
hi

I am Michael from Austria and new to the board - I am on my first BSA Project normally I am restoring old BMW`s  ( R90/6, R60 and a R26 ) and vespa´s ( 125 TS 150 Sprint )
I am   now trying to restore a wild mix of an a10 golden Flash and a road rocket from 1957  - hopefully it will be a close to original   road rocket  at the end of the journey  *smile*
cheers
michael

Welcome and good luck. All my work starts out as a Rolls Royce and and up as a Morris Minor! You may find the variations in threads and parts quite a new experience compared to BMW fixings.
Like i say, good luck, the journey begins. Will be interested to hear what back brake that is and if it original to the hub?
