British Bikes / Help identifying a petrol tank
« Last post by gettingold on September 25, 2025, 11:09:14 PM »
Hello, I have been unable to identify a fuel tank that came with a BSA A10 basket case project. I can find tanks with the emblems but with no tank mounted speedometer or I can find plenty of tanks with the speedometer opening but not with these particular emblems. Any help would be appreciated

There's another survivor, powered by a 5hp JAP v twin, and with a Jardine gearbox. It's a nice original bike. This is the only one with Mr Whiting's own V4 engine, and his own 2-speed gearbox.

Hmmm, thats a fairly exotic beast !
And it does have a few suspension points that would require greasing.

Is there only the one and only ?

Whiting V4 - just had it's first run around the block. Although I did ride it 25-odd years ago!

This headlamp is 5 1/2 ", and the switch hole is 1 3/4 "
Anyone know what (Miller ? ) switch this is likely to require. ?

Dunno Leon, tell us ....

I'm only slow because I'm spending too much time in the shed doing a 50-year service on my recent acquisition... the clue is that it has more grease points that any bike I've ever encountered.

Bit slow here, need something to git thungs movin agin ?

Anyone care to explain the Villiers headlamp switch ?
Waratah/Excelsior 125cc circa 1945

I thought it was a Miller, but new/replacement has a chrome ring around it.
And would be (slightly) too big to fit ??
What retains it - a large wire circlip ?

Villiers Services in the UK is the goto place for Villiers bits.
No idea if they have these particular parts.

Thanks all clear.

Any tips on an address to buy new centre pieces?
In Europe they seems to be not available.
