Shame it is not one of these

Looks like lots of the parts are the same.

I am starting to like the Yank/Canadian stuff, this is totally cool.

David needs to get looking in sheds

Know what you mean. These horizontal twins do look the part. A couple of things to finish off then I have a mid 1930s Britannia to fully strip.

A model 300 next on my things to do, 1935 one.

Yes thats nice ...would like a twin but hardly any american stuff over here.

[Keith.P]

They do come up from time to time, I have more American motors then British, parts are still a major bugbear when it comes to US motors.

[Collector Inspector]

Another vote for Doug Penn, he really treats people right!

That is a great site, the only problem would be the postage.

How much would it cost to ship cylinders to the UK?

H-A

[Keith.P]

Most time, postage from the USA is twice or three times the price of the item and that's for normal items, not anything heavy.
I did order a set of coils, with cheap postage and they bounced around the US for about a week and ended up in Miami, never to be seen again, that was the last time I bothered.
I did end up getting a set of coils over here for less than the US.
Saying that I have been waiting for a outboard to turn up for about a week, £7.50 UK postage
It did turn up, good strong spark and it was seized, not any longer.
A little 1938 Elto Pal.

Sounds good Keith, I like the little singles, got any pictures?

I have been working on the powerhead on mine, compression is very good, just need to paint it.

Then the polishing starts

H-A

[Keith.P]

Not the best Picture, the motor will need more work, not going to send off for parts, will make the odd parts I need, no rush.
That's coming on H-A, I don't think I will bother with my twin's, maybe one day.

[Hugz]

Talking of twins.... should I have a punt at this?

[Oyster 49]

Think that might be a Triton, as the britannia did not have the separate head. Perhaps a britannia with triton cylinder and heads?

Worth having In the collection hugz Cheap also.

That looks like 1950s vintage.

[Oyster 49]

Did you get it hugz?

[Hugz]

I'm rather proud that drawing upon all my willpower I abstained from bidding. There is light at the end of the tunnel for this addiction. Had I bought that I would need a second if not a third for parts.... and then the parts one looks too good to part so you need a few more etc etc. Wish it had gone for a higher price to ease my withdrawals The crank at pulley looked as though it had taken a rather nasty hit.
