Winchboy and I have just been here
www.internalfire.com
What an interesting place, loads of rare engines from tiny to massive its a wonder how they got them in, very friendly helpful staff well worth a visit for any one mechanical minded, pick your day and you can see them running too.
Some beautiful beaches nearby to keep the other half and kids happy too

I forgot to mention they also have a working radio room with two very helpful gents chatting to people all over the place, its not just for show it all works.
A telephone exchange that also works winchboy loved them as you could see how the technology has changed, looking back at telephone exchanges its a wonder they even worked, you can see the bits and bobs moving about as the switches connect the calls.
They have just added another floor and are getting some motorcycles so we will return.
There are some excellent beaches nearby too

British Bikes / Help My sons bought part of a 30's motorcycle!
« on: May 30, 2019, 08:15:56 PM »
My son went to an Auto Jumble and bought an engine as he thought it was from a bike, turns out its a 1934 Royal Enfield Model A.
So whilst looking for parts he find a 70% complete bike ( It was miles away too).
So her we are, two gear boxes both in bits and no idea how they should go together so any thoughts help would be appreciated.
We have three engines one seized two with the barrels off.
He wants to just get it back together and running, so he needs Wheels, mudguards, lights some of the fork parts.
Initially he can't afford originality so he is looking for any period bits just to get it back on the road.
Any help would be appreciated as it looks like there is very little info on these bikes, Royal Enfield etc don't seem to bother with pre war stuff?
We cant even find one in a museum?
Here is how it should look.
