The modern equivalent plug for a D7 is listed as an NGK B7HS.

That was possibly Alf Hagon's old shop?

Their old address used to be:
350-352 High Road
Leyton
London
E10

They are now here:

Although I am not familiar with that area so there may well have been others?

British Bikes / Re: Triumph TR25W 1969

Is there a paint mark at the top of one of the push rods? As the workshop manual for TR25W says that "the top of the exhaust push rod is painted red for identification purposes"?

Are you sure you have them located correctly?
The workshop manual shows that the inlet pushrod goes to the OUTER tappet and exhaust pushrod to the inner?

Arthur (and others),

If you click on the small 'single envelope' icon above where it says 'Gender' to the left side of member's  message or below 'Guest' if they aren't a member you may be able to send an e-mail to that person.

If you are signed in as a member you can use the members list, also you should see a small 'letter page and envelope' icon which you can use to send a private message that another member can read when they log in.

Perhaps you should consider becoming a member Arthur?

Arthur,

I have a good selection of parts books, workshop manuals, service sheets and magazine articles in my archive for mostly BSA, Norton and Triumph models and I would be happy to try and give you any information you may need or suggest where you could find it.

Your friend's advice is correct.
Perhaps you should obtain a workshop manual and handbook maybe?

A lot of riders have used unleaded with no problems, you could use a lead replacement additive or have the valve seats replaced but that is up to you and may be unnecessary.

I am guessing that you mean the (frame) serial number?
If that is what you mean then it could be on the left side of the frame on the front engine mounting lug?.

British Bikes / Re: Petroil Mix
« on: August 15, 2005, 02:45:06 AM »
Using ordinary unleaded petrol should be fine as two strokes don't really need leaded petrol anyway (no valves).
Spark plugs can last longer too!

No problem at all using a modern two stroke oil that's suitable for petroil mixing, you could probably reduce the ratio of oil to petrol as well, especially with a modern synthetic oil, but of course that's your decision.
