In this neck of the woods, we have a chap who can reclaim about anything
using hard chrome plating - and grinding back to size.

Perhaps there is similar in your area ?
This can add quite some thickness, if necessary.
Quite economical too.

If this is related to your bike at all, the decompressor cable goes down
into the crankcases between the 2 pushrod tubes.

There is some gubbins inside that crack the exhaust valve open a trace.
To give easier starting and that all important stopping function.
The decompressor lever is usually a little trigger-like lever near the clutch lever.
Hopethishelps.

Is this any help?

Dunno.
I mulled over a few such things.
The 1st one is just some joining links.
The 2nd one sounds promising.
But I could find no mention that a Bantam used 335 rollers.
And overall costs more than Villiers Services.

Need to find a NOS chain on a shelf somewhere local.
Or stump up to make Royal Mails profits keep soaring.

I suspect I'm just going to have to stump up the very large chunk of postage for Villiers Services to post it ...

My lil' Villiers needs a new rear chain.
125cc 9D

From previous discussions here, it needs to be a 1/2" x 3/16" x .335"
(Which is not the same as a 420 at all.)

Terriers used the same for the primary drive (clutch), but are quite short.
Renolds appear to have made this - as 110044, mostly out of stock it would seem.
Bantams used something similar - although maybe not as the .335   ??

Is Villiers Services the only source of this.
Postage is quite a chunk these days, unless something can be sourced closer to home ?

The new sprockets are strategically stamped with this 335 detail ...

Didn't sell it on Facebook Marketplace, did he. ?
On that, you can see the original asking price and the new asking price.
I've watched in fascination as some stratospheric opening prices have been whittled down to sensible levels.

Euphoria replaced by stark reality, as it were.
Or desperation  ....

Back to Dunelts.

I'm curious what a "fully restored bantam" would/should go for ?

I've seen them between $2k and $22k, although I doubt either of those numbers are typical !!

That might depend on the year of your 16H. ?
The location of the footrest bar through the primary cases varies by model, quite a bit.
It goes up and down, significantly, for some years at least .

We diverge from Speed Twins ere ....
