I'm back to wrenching on the A7 again, after several years off.
Went metric for a bit, then divorce, now happily BSA'ing once again.
Hope to hang out here a bit more.

Welcome back Bsa Nut, glad you're back wrenching and didn't "lose" the A7 in the settlement.

At least wrenching you have something to show for your efforts and if its with a BSA its on a good honest motorcycle  *wink2*
Life throws shit at us quite often, but find those spanners, sit reflect and sort out something within your control.
No judgement here, (unless you're fitting metric threads on an A7  ;) )
A good rider periodically checks all nuts and bolts with a spanner to see that they are tight - Instruction Manual for BSA B series, p46, para 2.

The link in your signature doesn't work anymore.

Thanks everyone!!

and no...I didn't lose any BSA parts in the settlement. LOL 'On paper' how much can a pile of parts be worth to a gal?

This makes about a half-dozen BSA's...definitely hooked. :)

Even when making a new axle---- no metric here. Of course, because it must fit the stub axle.
