Hope a forum member may be able to help Me out with the above please .
Apparently this model was originally fitted with clips /brackets which guided the H.T leads to the spark plugs ?
They were apparently attached to the cylinder head (or carb manifold) & held the leads in a tidy position ?

I would be very keen to see photographs or even a sketch please ?
Even more interested if any were for sale ?

Thanks in advance ,

"R" , Very kind of You to bring these to My attention .

I studied the vendors list but there doesnt appear to be a crankshaft , He has a camshaft .
I have managed to source a very good camshaft recently but still require a crankshaft .

For a good one I would be prepared to import ..most of these machines ended up overseas anyway .

Many thanks for the helpful comments .

"R" My "Star Twin" is the early Longstroke (twin carb) version ..these were discontinued in 1950 in favour of the short stroke single carb model .
Do You have a copy of that road test please ?

Even the parts list is vague & doesnt have details or part numbers for Mine .

Very Best Wishes ,
Steve ...
