Wanted: several parts or complete bike wanted
« on: 04.12. 2019 16:39 »
Hello
I need a lot of parts to get my A10 project going enginewise. I have an empty A10 case and would need a crank and a 650 cylinder, pushrods and a complete primary case - does the single primary case fit also?
I will definitely get this thing on its wheels but if someone knows of a complete swing-arm A10 for sale - be it in nice condition or a clapped-out wreck - please let me know because this would get me on a BSA twin much sooner...
Thanks for all your help

As I was on the hunt for a complete bike as well, I couldn´t resist and bought an A10 in France last saturday. The bike has half width hubs front and rear which I like very much and would like to have on my build-bike as well. I have already a crinckle hub and brakedrum for the rear wheel, it is 6 inches if I recall right but missing the anchor plate and shoes etc. Now I am looking for a front half width hub from anything BSA of the 50s or there-about. Anybody having some of "my" parts laying around?
Thanks
Harty

 I'm of no use for parts, but I think A-series need a 7" rear brake....
Started building in about 1977/8 a on average '52 A10 -built from bits 'n pieces never resto intended -maybe 'personalised'
Have a '74 850T Moto Guzzi since '92-best thing I ever bought doesn't need a kickstart 'cos it bump starts sooooooooo(mostly) easy

You are right and I was wrong - the drum is indeed 7 inches. So I need the plate and shoes, cam and lever for an ordinary 7" BSA rear drum brake. And of course anything that will fit the front end...

Yep, agree about how attractive the half-width hubs are, but then they look good on any bike I reckon.

I hope you've seen this post:
Gents: I want to clear some space by passing on most of my spares to someone who can use them (or has the energy to sell them on).  I don’t want to get involved with posting or ebay.  They are mostly plunger A10, some are pre-patinated, all are useable.  I would like any buyer to inspect the parts before collection from East Lancashire, 1 mile from the M66 junction. I’m no longer working so could arrange a meeting any time of the week.  I’ve bundled the parts into 12 “lots” which I don’t want to split, prices are as noted. I’ll update the list as/if they sell.
