Hello all, I realise there have been many postings on this topic but I have a question about fitting the Velocette anti-drain valve to the oil tank outlet as has been suggested. The oil lines on a Velo are 5/16" I.D.

My 1931 Model 18 has worn cam followers. These are the radius type and the wear is causing the valve open duration to be extended due to the change in position of the cam to follower contact point.

Hi all,

   I have received news that Grahame Rhodes, vintage and classic racer and son of Velocette expert Ivan, has died at the age of 63. I believe his death was accidental, but not a vehicle accident.

I am very sad to report that George Smart died on Tuesday. George, along with his wife Diana, was instrumental in organising the International Rally in Cesenatico Italy.

Could anyone send me pictures of the area where the battery tray is in place please so I can clearly see what fits where on the Fastback.  I'm sure the back of the rear mudguard fits to the tray with spacers in between and nuts/bolts of course.  A

History-gearbox had been used miles? with mismatched 2nd gears. I realized this the first time I reassembled the inner cover which of course bound everything, though obviously the previous owner forced it together and rode it like that.

Hi, would anyone be willing to send me some pictures regarding an original handlebar layout as per my 1962 Norton model 50, also, did the factory use Amal or Doherty levers and what ammeter came with this model.

Just bought a 850 commando interstate it's been dry stored for 15 years there is light rust inside the fuel cap and light rust on the roof of the tank any idea on the best way of cleaning it out, don't think it's bad enough to replace. Andy
