L #830 Dave Smith is at 815 254 3998 He used to be the exclusive dealer for Goodman's here in
the US, and is a valuable resource for spares.
L #1725 As I arrived at work this morning noticed a missing nut on my horn - 1961 Venom, Altette
horn - does anyone know where I can get a replacement - slightly tapered domeheaded, chrome nuts
that are fitted round the peripheral chrome ring of the Altette.
#1727 From Taff the Horn - 01792 23 37 63
L #1782 Does anybody know if the route holders that clip onto the handle bars are still in
production, and if so where I could buy one.
#1783 Try www.oldbikeshop.com
L #1843 Can someone please help my poor failing brain - and remind me what the thread form is
re: the four little tappet cover screws on a VM/VR/VMT
#1844 3/16 Whit. Same as timing cover.
#1857 3/16 Whitworth can be replaced with 10-24 UNC, the minor mismatch is not a big deal on such a
small size. I found exact duplicates of these "cheesehead" screws in stainless that way. The same
thread is used on alloy MAC rocker cover. And thread replacement kits (Heli- coil) are available in
10-24 for that broken off screw.
#1902 hello there, could anyone please tell me what the thread forms are for the rockerbox bolts and
also the oil drainpipe bolts and also the carbs flange bolts.
#1904 Rocker box bolts and carbs flange studs are 5/16" BSF, the oil drainpipe and all other banjo
bolts are 1/8" BSP.

L #3428 Does anyone know where you can readily get Hylomar aerograde from?

L #3937 Hello all, Anyone know if there is a dealer of pre-AMAL carbs bits in the UK? Specifically
I'm looking for a float for a B&B carbs. If not, maybe I'll have to try Founders Day.
#3938 Have you tried www.amalcarburettors.co.uk
#3939 I've found the website but it seems that they deal in AMAL parts (and I've seen the Surrey
Cycles caravan at autojumbles - they have a lot of AMAL parts). I'm looking for older carbs bits than
AMAL.
#3941 Have you tried Martyn Bratby? Although he mainly deals in pre-concentric Amals I know that he
sometimes has other bits and pieces (he sold an old B&B for a mate of mine) or he might know
someone. I haven't got his number at hand, but you may find it in an Old Bike Mart. Failing that I'm sure
someone in the group will have his number.
