Identify these bikes! / Re: Ariel Red Hunter 500 1937 - Which of these two heads is correct?

« on: May 13, 2016, 01:29:28 PM »

Thanks Rex,

I am just looking at it from a preservationist perspective - given both heads are in similar condition I think it has some merit in determining which is "correct" for the year. I have checked the manual and it suggests that head two is correct, however others have suggested the manuals do have a number of discrepancies and head one is correct.

If there isn't a simple definitive answer, then we'll do exactly as you say and pick the best option!

Thanks again for the input.

Kind regards
Ben

Identify these bikes! / Ariel Red Hunter 500 1937 - Which of these two heads is correct?

« on: May 12, 2016, 11:42:49 PM »

Hi all,

We are building a 1937 Ariel 500 and have noticed that the head on the engine (which doesn't look like it has been apart) is different to what we been told is the "correct" 1937 head.

Attached are photos of both heads and we would keen to understand which is correct.

Head 1: Head bolt mounting lugs are recessed below the top of the fins and there appears to be redundant oil line lugs near each valve guide.
Head 2: Head bolt mounting lugs are above the top of the fins and there are no oil line lugs near the valve guide

Many thanks.

Hi all,

I am chasing a BSA 1928 350 Sloper OHV rocker assembly for a project - needs to be complete with internals. I may have some Sloper bits to swap or will pay a good price.

The below link has an image a 350 Sloper to refresh the memory.

Many thanks for the help.
