thanks a lot. Transfers are on the tank but badges would be a bonus. The fixing holes can be seen on the photo. will post the measurement between the holes at a later date as the bike is a few miles away at my brothers and he"s not at home.

British Bikes / Villiers 10d clutch
« on: April 02, 2014, 11:10:48 AM »
Hi i have fitted new clutch corks to a Villiers 10d engine and although everything seems to work as it should, when the bike is on the stand with the clutch engaged, the rear wheel still turns slowly. Is this natural or is there something i hav"nt done, or do i have to wait for the corks to bed in.  Many thanks Bud.

British Bikes / Villiers engine coil replacement
« on: March 01, 2014, 11:10:55 AM »
Hi,   seem to be having a bit of trouble changing the coil in a Villiers 197cc 6e engine, it just refuses to let go from the ears. Are there any grub screws or the like or am i just a wimp and not putting enough brute strength behind it. If there are grub screws i should have gone to specsavers. Someone come to my rescue.

Hi all  just wondering if there is a list or any info on the internet as to what readings i should get when testing ignition and lighting coils on Villiers engines. I have watched a few videos on you tube with all different readings so none the wiser.

Fantastic, thanks 33d6 you were spot on with the chinese handcuffs,the forks are now totally apart with no damage. All very dry and a bit of rust but nothing to worry about. A good clean and a bit oil and put them back together (fingers crossed). Have found a few pages of a Sun maintainance and instruction book, if it is any use to you for your collection i would be only too pleased to post a copy to you. At the moment they are with my brother who will post to me in a few days time. Do you have an email address? Will try and put a photo of the forks on here. Once again many thanks and happy new year.

British Bikes / 1952 sun challenger forks
« on: December 28, 2013, 11:11:02 AM »
Hi all, can someone give me instructions on how to replace springs in the forks of a 1950s Sun challenger. This may sound a bit mad but it looks as though the bottom tube as been re- chromed to far up the tube and so not sliding far enough into the top tube. Is this the case or do you think  its a bit more simple. As you have probably gathered by now it is my first attempt so any help would be a bonus.
 
Many thanks.
PS  Can you tell me what a neoprene rod is ??
