Pipes
« on: 31.01. 2023 14:19 »
For my new raceprojekt I look for hight level pipes left and right side as BSA A65 Hornet.
Does anybody know they will  also fit the A10 too? Or any other advice ?

G'day drwarz.
I doubt if Hornet pipes will fit. The pipe size will fit in the head but the bends will be a bit haphazard, especially on a plunger.
I had the L & R high pipes for my s/a A7SS racer specially made by a bike exhaust place.

I fitted hornet pipes to my 1960 a7. Like the pictures above they tip up rather than level as on the Hornets. Also if I want to access the toolbox I have to take off the left pipe  *smile*. Not a problem its only two bolts

Hi Musky
Who did your pipes for you? I'm looking for someone in NSW to do some pipes for me.

If you can get hold of him Barry @ Overlander in Warnambool has the only 3 axis jig I know of in Australia
Almost every one else bends shor sections on a flat mandrel then welds them together

G'day Tim.
I'm pretty sure it was Overlander but for some reason I have Reband on my mind. It might have been them that did my stainless pipes on the plunger (still on after 40 years).
