Newbie with 1929 L29 parts needed

[cd]

Hi all
Newbie to this forum.

I have a 1929 BSA L29 OHV 3.49 HP
 
What I need for my BSA is an Exhaust valve lifter, Exhaust valve lifter Lever, spring, cable & 1" handle bar lever.
 
The part No from my 1929 parts book are-
27-423   Exhaust valve lifter
15-482   Exhaust valve lifter lever
15-7768  Exhaust lifter control
15-686   Exhaust lifter cable return spring
 
I live in Sydney, NSW, Australia
 
Does anyone have some parts, or a diagram with dimensions?

Or does anyone know where I might be able to get them from?

Thanks
Craig

What about a 'wanted' ad in Just Bikes? Or membership of the various old bike clubs in Sydney or the local BSA Owners Club. Have you tried Barry Hartnell in Wangaratta? Remember that Australia was Britains largest export market in the time of your bike. They sold more bikes in Australia than any other country. It is just as easy to find vintage bits here at home as it is anywhere else.
I've played with vintage bikes for a long time and only very rarely have I been reduced to hunting overseas, in fact I've probably sent off more stuff than I've received.
Your parts are here, it's just a matter of networking.
Best of luck,

Hi.

I also have a 1929 S29-19 2 Port Light 500cc (Upright barrel) which sounds like the same model as yours, which wa salso sold new in Aussie. 

What I know to date of the history of my old bike is up on this website at URL http://www.vintagebike.co.uk/Bike%20Directories/BSA%20Bikes/pages/BSA-S29-19-29.html if you're interested to maybe see if my bike and yours ARE the same.

Hope you had some luck in finding those parts. When we restored my bike in 1998-99 I found BSA guys in Europe (Netherlands particularly) were hugely helpful.

I currently need a kickstart return spring (Part No 15-280 in my 1929 Parts Book), though the same part is also stated as Part No M162; or Part No 27-4170 (for other models).  I don't suppose someone can provide the number of the guy named in Wangaratta..? as I can't find this part anywhere here in New Zealand.

The bloke in Wangaratta is Barry Hartnell,
The business name is the Vintage Motorcycle Swap Shop, address, 74 Greta Rd, Wangaratta, 3677. Phon number, (03) 5722 1457. He isn't open on Mondays.
Personally, I find it easier to get new kickstart springs made, particularly if you have the old broken one as a sample.
Best of luck,
