Thanks for confirming that Leon, am a a lot happier now I know I don’t have to buy new rims.

When I said I have 2 RT,s , well I sort of have 3 but an making one into a wedge tank. I have been looking for ages for a tank to no avail but found a rusted out one at a swap a month ago. Made an excellent pattern.
So that’s what today’s project was in the shed.. make a wedge tank. I only have to tail cap to go.

Ok, rims are westwood shaped, are definitely 20” with a width of 2”.
Going to order some 24 x 2 1/4 f see how I go.

For sale.. 26 x 3 BE tyres   :D

So what you are saying Leon is that 24” tyres will fit on the same size rims that also take 26”?

Ok guys, I am having a little trouble getting the tyres not to rub on the guards. I have just about fixed this problem but double checking what other guys with RT,s have for tyres on their bikes?

Other guys I have spoken to all are running 26 x 3 front & rear, books I have read have said the same & then I find one book that says 24 x 2 1/2.

Cheers

Hi Rob, I don’t know where you live but in Aust pre 1930 lights were an optional extra. A pic of the maggy setup would be nice.
Cheers.

It's usually helpful if you say what parts you are after. After all, we can see your photo is of the engine actually running.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that noticed it. If the engine is running why do you need parts?

The top lever ones are BSA rigid single around 48-54 350 and 500/600

That’s it John. Normally found on B31/33 models

If all you need is a tank to finish a bike project then fit an Indian made one until you find an original... if that’s what you want.
