Hi John, can you let me know what you want out of the way. Regards Bob ... From: Madoc To: BSABantam@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, October 26, 2009 4:18 PM ...
Most likely postal strike. Presumably you kept copies of everything? I would have sent that sort of stuff by Special Delivery rather than regular post as it is...
Chris Many thanks. I stripped down the headlamp shell and found that the switch connections were a bit dodgy. The 2 plugs were held on with electrical tape. It...
As promised an update on my 6v lighting improvement. For the front, I bought a 30w 6v QH headlamp bulb and a 20 w QH pilot lamp bulb. Fitted and work great, I...
Alan, Great news. I have been trying unsucessfully to find a source of the switch sockets, but am being told they are only available with a new loom. I have...
Chris I think that soldered bullet connectors instead of a switch socket is a technical improvement! I may do the same if I have any more problems with any...
I have a D1, in bits, that I am looking at. All of it is painted in a very light green, which would seem, as I've had to sand back large sections of it, to be...
Hi Madoc, I was puzzled by this as well. I have a '54 D1 which is lighter in colour than all the other mist green Bantams I've seen - even the back of the...
Hi Philip, Theres no real difference between D7 & D10 barrels but the D14 differs in that it had wider transfer ports and a deeper inlet port.The exhaust was...
The D7 has a bigger air gap between the bottom fins below the inlet port compared to the D10 and D14. The D10 also has a slightly bigger 26mm inlet compared to...
Following on from previous posts about D7/D10/D14 barrel differences. According to many authorative texts the B175 had uprated porting compared to D14. Someone...
As you can see, I have time on my hands to make few posts. So I thought I might stir up the Four Yorkshiremen " I drain t' sump oil out of Triumph Herald...
Thanks for that! just been out and checked and the barrel has no fin gap and a D14 size inlet so looks like a D10 barrel which could be good news me. I have a...
4 speed bottom end and D10 top end works well. If you use a standard head gasket CR should be fine. But run premium petrol ( ? 95 -98 ) Mate Ken has this combo...

Brilliant! Thanks for that, i'm hoping the other D14 engine i have will be ok for my dismantled D14 sport that i am pieceing together. The D10 Sport ive had a...
Madoc, What you have is an enamel paint which changes colour until it is fully cured. I am also involved with Sunbeam S7 machines which also used the same mist...
My first posting, well I have 52 in "mist green" so also ordered from Bournmouth and yes it was a lot darker, It has been on all chips, holes etc for 2-3...
I rode over to a paint mixing place and had them match something to a top yoke I had. Looked good in the shop. Got it back and it does indeed match that yoke...
For what it's worth, I've got my D1 in bits and it's 1/2" Whitworth. This is about 0.82" AF, or about 21 mm. I always use a plug wrench on that nut, and the...
