Hi friends out there! I've been quiet on this for a year (see earlier topic from August 2016) but work is progressing well on restoring the bike. A couple of update pics attached. There is still a way to go,mainly mudgurds and exhausts.
In last year's discussion we were debating about the registration date, I contacted the Kithead Trust who told me all Birmingham records have been destroyed. They did indicate that this bike with reg OF2038 would probably be from late summer of 1929 as OF6368 was the first number issued in 1930.
On another matter it looks like I am going to have to dismantle the clutch as it won't disengage. It's a 3 plate with central push rod and has 4 spring screws (photo). Anyone got any hints before I take the plunge?
