Precisely which parts are you after ?
On a forum you mention starting your engine, and ac voltage output ... ?
Bits appear on UK Evilpay all the time - with a bit of collecting you could build whole bikes. ?
Post overseas might be a burden though.

Havent mentioned starting My engine on any forrum ?
I am mainly looking for the flywheel (3 magnets) as opposed to the later 6 .
I also need the tin points cover for the "Geni-mag" .
I have looked on ebay often but never seen these items .
Thanks for Your response , as I have no spare flywheel as a pattern I am unable to check the one on ebay ?
Regards,
Steve..

Relating to the above I am even having problems tracing a Wipac parts catalogue with a view to finding parts numbers for My missing items ?
Can Anyone help please ?

There are several dedicated Bantam websites, they could help ?
Steps 2, 3 and 4 show a little detail.

Where are you ?
You need to track down the local Bantam guru ?
I was offered a Bantam a while back, and it came with 18 or 19 spare project bikes (thats a lot of garage space !)....
There are regularly whole engines and engine kits on evilpay, just needs a little watching ?

Hopethishelps.
Have you tried C&D Autos ?
They seem to have the reputation of having everything and then some..

Thank You very much for Your time "R" .
Had no luck at C& D , still trying to find the items .

Thanks again "R" ..unfortuately the "Geni-mag" points cover is smaller than the listed item & has no B.S.A wing embossed in it .
I have the parts book & others but none of them quote part numbers for the items I need .
Could do with a Wipac parts catalogue for 1949 if Anyone has one please , or at least Id settle for either a photocopy or the appropriate numbers ?
Regards,
Steve..

Do you have a picture of a Bantam with these parts fitted ?
Or just-an-engine shot
You really should be on the Bantam Forum asking for such things- there is likely to be a bigger audience there that may well have such things, or know where they may be found ?
Right, now we are all on the same page...

"R" , That is exactly the type Im looking for !
The flywheel has 3 magnets insted of the later item which has 6 .
That is the points cover I need also .
I have no more detailed pictures than Yours shown .
I am a member of the Bantam forum & have made same appeal for parts/information to no avail as yet unfortunately .
