British Bikes / Re: 1928 Norton - “Best & Lloyd” Mk II No.5061 oil pump PROBLEM

Sure thing, the complete thread has gone :(
Will try a repair while I source a replacement part.
I think I have found someone who remanufactures the complete pump, but would prefer to use a "recycled" one.
So I'll keep looking
Thanks

British Bikes / 1928 Norton - “Best & Lloyd” Mk II No.5061 oil pump PROBLEM
« on: August 01, 2010, 09:15:58 AM »
I have a 1928 Norton 16H with a “Best & Lloyd” Mk II No.5061 oil pump.
Unfortunately, while checking/adjusting the oil flow rate, the screw threads on the outflow sheared off!
These casting were never really very well made and mine is no better than the norm.
Does anyone out there have a spare one that they would be willing to part with or know of another solution?
Many thanks
Ian

British Bikes / Re: FLAT TANKER ADVICE ?

Thanks for the advice.
Sorry not to have responded, but fut I forgot to tick the box about "notifications of a reply" so I forgot to log on.

The great news is is that I am now the proud custodian of a 1928 Norton 16H.
The bike has only had ONE registered keeper prior to me and I have stacks paperwork which include;
Buff log book.
Insurance policies
Letter from Motorcycle magazine dated 1928 to the "new owner of a Norton"
All the original hanbooks for the bike, carb, fuel pump, magneto etc.
I even have the owners record of months used from 1928-47 - he was a summer rider only !!!
In 1948 the bike was dismantled and dry stored, for the next 60+ years it was inherited by various children and in 2009 was rebuilt by George "Norton" Cohen".

Now in the process of learning to ride her and what fun I am having :-)

Thanks
Ian

British Bikes / FLAT TANKER ADVICE ?
« on: May 31, 2010, 09:28:56 AM »
I wonder if there is anyone out there who could point me in the right direction?
I am after a mid 1920s flat tanker (with brakes - so to speak).
Not too sure of the make or model and open to any suggestions/advice.
I have a couple of Matchless bikes (1943 G3L & 1957 G11), so another stable mate from the same family would be nice, but not necessary.
I have looked at Sunbeams, Triumphs, Norton etc .... but only from a aesthetics point of view, not from a practical perspective.

Any pointers would be greatfully received.
TIA
Ian
