Default BSA Manuals

I don't have any to make copies of but have seen some reproductions listed on eBay (but haven't looked recently) . If my memory is working, the reproductions were coming from either UK or Australia so you might want to start your searches on those localized eBay sites.

Fateners are Cycle thread (26TPI) with Whitworth heads (no A/F rubbish on Birminghams' finest). Some of the larger stuff (1/2" up) may be 20TPI. For generic fasteners try Namrick, otherwise Russell Motors in London or, as a last resort, Draganfly.

Default Thanks so far -

I've got the driver/operators manual, and a few catalogues from Russel and Dragon.

The big cry out for me is to locate a parts book that says what goes where, and how it's held on. Many holes are stripped and I may end up "bolting through" or tapping out to a modern size.

My personal approach is that you can do whatever you want, just don't mess it up for the next guy (or gal)

I started up the "THUMPMASTER 500" yesterday but it's skittish as a blushing bride. Sometimes it will , and sometimes it won't... you get the idea.

It must be alergic to gearoil as well. The pint I put in yesterday pretty much fell out overnight without even slowing down.

Does this mean I don't have to pull the drainplug to flush it?


thx

Nice to see the bike being worked on. Maybe one day this summer we can try out those carrier platoon tactics.

Get used to it .It is british !!!! They design things to leak oil
That is how they guarantee regular oil changes and lubrication from the leak back
