What gear box is this?
« on: 12.10. 2020 17:30 »
Does anyone recognise this gearbox? It has a brass indicator making gear positions and appears to be a 4 speed. I was hoping it was off a  BSA but it looks more Triumph now...
Thank you!

1950's? Seriously? I'd have given it 1930's.

As Julian says, 1950's Triumph box..... Might have sneaked into the sixties maybe.

Triumph box.  I don’t think the swing arm models had the gear indicator pointer.

Here's a picture of a cleaner one, note the front engine plates which are also the same.
