Hi Morning all,the first photo is certainly a Brockhouse Corgi made by Brockhouse Engineering based in Southport Lancs.If I remember correctly the design was based on the wartime Wellbike which had an Excelsior engine whereas the Brockhouse machine had a Villiers engine Harry.

I agree, it is a Corgi with I think a Villiers 'Spryte' engine. The Welbike had a 98cc Villiers Junior engine and was built by Excelsior.

Hi guys

I am restoring a 1950 Royal Enfield Model G and I have a few problem areas.

The first one I will ask advise on is the tank.
Below you can see that the Chrome tank i badly rusted, it seem solid but I am unsure if it can be stripped and rechromed, any opinions or advice on where to take it (I'm in Wigan)

Many Thanks
Mark

Mark,

If you do go down the route of a new tank, I'll buy your old one if you dont need it. I need a tank to paint for my Model CO so the pitting isn't a problem.

Cheers, Chris.

Hi All

I have a C10 BSA 1939 and the carb is in apoor state.It is a Amal and the only numbers on it appear to be
J61*4 which no one seems to reconise .
Where would be the best place to get it reconditioned

regards   Chris

Could the J be a 7 making it a model 76/1?4 (76/114?)

Hi Ike,

Not a BSA but a mid-1920s Rudge. I'm pretty sure it's a 350 (there was a 500 as well), which was built in 1924 and 25 only. Rudges of this period were a little different from most other bikes, with a 4-valve engine and 4-speed gearbox. The rim brakes are probably best forgotten.

The bike has a few modifications: not surprising since it was 8 or more years old when the photo was taken. The headlight has been changed, tool box and twist-grip throttle added, and the mufflers replaced by straight-through exhausts.

Leon

Leon's correct, here is a link to Andy T's site with a 1925 4 valve 4 speed. Very nice!

I agree, looks like a early to mid 20's 350cc Touring.

If all else fails you could split the nuts, they should be metric threads so replacement shouldn't be to difficult.

Thanks for information
Yes I have found that there are no illusttrated parts breakdown from that periode. Anyway if there are no bits and pieces illustrations at all I will have to guess the name of the part I am not familiar with or I could add pictures when ordering parts.
The problem often is that people having parts for sale do not always know what they belong to.
I am adding a picture of what I believe is the battery carrier. Hope that is what you need m3bobby.

Herc


Hi Herc,

Can you email me at m3bobby(at)hotmail.com

Thanks for the photo, I'm still not 100% sure how it fits to the frame, but it definatly is a start. For some strange reason, not many model D's still have the original battery carrier.

Cheers, Chris.

Unfortunatly the parts list is non illustrated for this model, which is a pain.

What is is you need to know?

Also, Could do me a favour and take a photo of the way the battery carrier fits to the frame, I don't have a battery carrier on my bike and I can only see one mounting point for it with no idea how the battery carrier fits to it.

Also, I think the serial number is on the right hand side of the headstock (thats where mine and other WD/D's are found)

The welded reinforcement (fork stop) on the top of the frame is correct as with out this, the forks would swing around and dent the tank.

Hi,

I've been doing some research into the model D as I have one also. Yours appears to be a Civilian modal but I'm about 99.9% sure it would have been pressed into military service (or possibly some other war effort not directly asscociated with the war office). The magdyno isnt the original as the straight carb stub was only used on the coil ignition models. The magdyno models have a bent stub.

Hope this is of help,

Chris.

Its an early 30's 557cc with the wrong gearbox. The gearbox on the bike is a later star range gearbox with foot change (lever is upright), it should have a hand change box (the hand lever is present), have a look at this one

Hi mate,

The bike is now in Australia, it was placed on the Rudge club register in 1982. The engine number you gave isn't quite right for the sequence, that number would make it a 1937 engine, however, S2441 would fit so it could be a mistake.

The other info I can tell you is that it was frame number 56684 and it now has engine S114 fitted (unless that is also a mistake) There is a photo and further info held at the club (I'm not sure how to access these) and I don't think it has a sidecar anymore as there is no SC abreviation mentioned (SC is present when one is fitted).

As a note of intrest, my own 1936 Rudge Special is frame number 56747, engine number S2446 registration number BRM 116.

I'll contact the club and see what they can do.

my email is m3bobby(remove for spam)@hotmail.com

hope this of use.

Cheers, Chris.

Hey all, thank you for any help. I've learned that the model is Rudge Whitworth 1928, 500 cc. For the moment I would like to get any help, direction, so I can purchase a front fork, magneto (Lucas???) and a carburator (Amal???). I would really appreciate if anybody could help me with some info, anything regarding a place where I could buy these items.
THX.

Sorry this is so late but I've only just joined the forum, the carb you need would be an AMAC 15mdy or 10mdy depending on the exact model i.e. Standard, sports, dirt track or special. (Although this dosn't look like the dirt track model).

The magneto would either be a ML magliter or the ML magneto.

Frame number for a 1928 should be between 24606 and 31500.
