British Bikes / Do you recognize this fork?
« on: July 20, 2016, 03:16:40 AM »
George Brough's own record setting bike - the forerunner of the Pendine - sported a fork I don't recognize.  At a time when most SS100s were running the Castle fork, this bike (which still exists) has stiffeners and castings I don't recognize.

Does anyone have an idea what they are and who made them?

British Bikes / Starting a BS SS100 replica build - help!
« on: July 18, 2016, 07:49:19 PM »
Yes, I have gone down the rabbit hole.

Gents, I have decided to build a replica SS100.  Due to availability of original parts, and cost of the repro bike from the re-constituted Brough Superior in Austria, I am going to have to fabricate and machine the whole thing myself.

I am talking with and joining the BSC and VMCC and probably also the Morgan club.  When I have corresponded with them, they have all been really helpful.  I am beginning to put up postings in the Autojumble looking for blue prints and machinist's drawings. 

Any guidance or suggestions you can provide - especially for sources for detailed, dimensioned drawings for the SS100 hard tail AGS frame, the JAP JTOR motor, Sturmey Archer super heavy weight transmission or Castle forks, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much.

Matt

Autojumble / Wanted: plans for JAP JTOR engine
« on: July 18, 2016, 07:18:47 PM »
Well, gents, against the best advice of marriage counselors everywhere, I am starting my first British bike build. 

I am starting with a JAP JTOR.  I live in semi-rural Central Oregon, and there are none to be found around here.  I can't afford one of Cameron's repro motors, as beautiful as they are.  I am going to have to machine the thing myself.

So, I am looking for blue prints and working machinist's drawings of every part and piece.  I have been talking with the folks at the VMCC and BSC, and about to join both (and probably the Morgan club, too) in the UK, and the AMCC here in they US.  They have all been really helpful, and they've got a lot of drawings, but there are gaps.

I can not pay you, but I can offer you a trade.  I am building a digital model of the entire motor, and will return to you a file for any drawing you can share with me, so you can send out to have the part CNC'd.

Hope this post finds you well.  I am excited about this project, and about this forum.  Any guidance or suggestions you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Matt
