Hi all, am in the process of rebuilding a 1962 a7 and both wheels need rebuilding, was thinking of going stainless rims and spokes, has anyone out there got any suggestions as to where i should purchase said items as there seems to be a huge difference in price and quality...

got mine here
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stainless-Steel-Wheel-Rim-BSA-B31-B33-A7-A10-A65-75-Rocket-3-BRAND-NEW-/281243625629?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item417b6d289d
 other traders also advertise them, made in England (makes a nice change), excellent items, very smooth welded join

I just bought one for a b31 rigid from draganfly, looks good one cannot see the welded join from outside etc, 68.50 gbp exc vat, brand on it was cwc (of uk) maybe cwa, from memory.

 Also needed both my A10 wheels rebuilding, went with stainless steel rim and spokes, got Mike at
Black Cat to supply them, and also he powder coated the hubs great job. He,s a man in a shed type based nr Wolverhampton. Rim,s are by Devon, looks just like chrome.

ha that's where I got mine, quite a lot of good traders use Ebay, just pay attention to feed back  ( bsa43 is 99.9).
no connection with him other than a good pair of rims for £140 delivered, his feedback is for the last 12 months  -  3206 positive 9 neutral and 4 negative, Argos also sell on
Ebay their feedback 98.8.
Mike at Lyford Classic is someone else I buy from, he's on  100, I usually don't buy from anyone below 99.5, probably traders here sell on Ebay too.
In short I'm saying Ebay is a good enough tool if you use it properly

I've been getting great info from this post has I need a new front wheel. The one fitted by myself about 9 yrs ago is the worst thing on the bike. Talk about thick when I got it stainless wasn't even mentioned has an option ,I got it from a local dealer and it started to rust before the tyre was inflated !!Bback would have been the same but for BSA's patented rear wheel greaser! I Like the sound of stainless so will have a closer look at that and hopefully that will do me 'til me body says enough is enough. Cheers BobH
