WELBIKE in Australia
Hi,
I was lucky enough to find a welbike here in Australia! Although I have to assemble it the only parts missing are the fuel cap and the nut to hold on the handle bars. The frame number is 2308 and engine number XXE2561. Contract number on plate is 29423/S1649. I have also managed to recovered the tank number as C5153108. I have read my bike to falls into a batch for an overseas order. Does anyone know what country that overseas order was for? Previous owner has had it since mid '60 in Australia and his father bought it from their "old neighbour". The bike is still the British brown and I plan to get it assembled and going before I do it up. I do like it how it is so might just leave it in this condition. Thanks Darren

Wow
I covet, I'm envious.
(I'm far, far away) Those parts can be made up in a local machine shop, Even if they are older British threads, the older machines should be able to cut them..

Did it come in a peach basket?
Hi Darren
Great find, quotes from the advertisement, Some assembly required, comes with woven peach basket, etc. I once bought a motorcycle that somebody had taken completely apart and then could not put back together, and it literally came with in two peach baskets plus the frame and wheels. (They had lost some small parts) This should be a great restoration project, just the thing to get around big MV rallies. Looking forward to seeing the finished project. Cheers Phil

Darren,
When I had a Corgi years ago I found the vintage bike people could find almost any part for the engine. There was an old British Bikes parts place in Elizabeth Street Melbourne who had pistons, rings etc. It was a bugger to start and lacked power but that was solved with a new crank case seal. If you ride them on the dirt I guarantee you will be in pain (or need surgery) from a smashed knee which is the first thing to hit the ground! Lang
