Toby, Try CMES of Yate. I copy this message to Sean Hawker, the proprietor and BSAOC member who I'm sure will be in touch. He did a good job on my son Tom's...

Dear all, Have decided to go ahead with the powder coating of my ex GPO D1 in the correct colour (red). The trouble is that one of the wheels has been chromed...
Hi Stuart, I had to strip the chrome rims I used for my '49 D1 (they are now painted) so I took them around to the local chrome plater who "pickled" them...
Stuart, I'll take the assembly off a bike tonight and try and scan it for you. Regards, Tony ... format. ... centre stand ... one on ... stand stop ... ...
Hi everyone, I need help (and not just because I'm a Bantam rider!). I took my D3 for a ride last weekend. I bought this bike a couple of years ago. It was...
Tony, I have to admit it sounds like pinking that you may get in a car from using poorer quality fuel. As you say, you only have a few degrees adjustment on...
Thanks Stuart, Did the full de-coke and went on a rally today. Seized twice. Do you know which direction is advance ... clock wise or anti-clockwise? Bye, Tony...
Hi to all, This one might seem a bit basic, but what the hell.....we all have to start somewhere!! Just wondering what is the best fuel to use in a D14/4 1968....
Keith, I think unleaded should be OK but I err on the side of caution and use LRP. The bikes are so economical that the slight extra expense of the petrol ...

I've had a similar problem with a D7, caused by too low a carb needle. Set up the carb using original BSA data. Haynes is two notches out for the D7 so could...
Dear Stuart (and all), I scanned the parts for the centre stand assembly this evening and the two photos are in the files section - I couldn't work out how to ...
Hi all, Anyone know the "modern" equivalent of the drive chain size for a D1 Bantam? My local bike shop doesn't understand imperial beyond 1/2" and the pitch...
Tony, You're a star. A mega mate. Tomorrow I'll start to grind metal to the right sizes. Many thanks for all your trouble. I'm sure that my son Tom (the...
Stuart, No problem at all - I'm just sorry I took so long. Interestingly, my next door neighbour who is a bit of a whiz with metal was intrigued with the...
Tony, Success. Fitted it today. The hinge assembly was a little tricky but all worked out OK. Used an angle grinder to cut out the C Bracket without ...
Congratulations Stuart! You know, I have often wondered why, for more than 10 years, they kept on fitting a centre stand to Bantams which was quite obviously...
Hi, Tom I saw your posting on the BSA group about powder coating. I went down this track two years ago and can give you all the info. Every powder coater I...
Cheers for this Tony, as they only used paint origionally I'm sure it'll be fine. I'll let you know how I get on. I've done a bit more to my website, progress...
Greetings, Does anyone know whether the D1 Gearbox oil level is measured with the filler plug screwed in or unscrewed? Does it matter? Cheers, Stuart Seale ...
