Hi, I do have some concerns that the acid might affect the finish of the brass, ie discolouring, as I prefer to have a polished brass look. Might do a bit on the underside first.
Thanks.

40 plus Magneto
hi, Picked up a '61 40plus (SJP) and pulled off the flywheel cover to give the points a once over and found the key floating around inside... that's no problem as I have removed the flywheel and reinserted but what does cause me concern is the magneto base plate moves around. I can see a screw in th...

He has been bid only A$90.00 in one bid and with lots of Ausie Seagul hunters probably watching they must know something about this motor that I don't.Even non-goers bring a couple of hundred dollars. Hi Al, Wouldn't get too excited, serious bidding only happens in last few minutes. Can't say it ex...

Handbook (large download)
I just love the way they originally worded these original handbooks... talk about tongue in cheek.

A seagull race around Sydney harbour has to be the go..... but agree with you its hard to find other local owners. N...

For those in Oz, Penrite make a Transoil 140. It's a non-additive gear oil. Comes in 1 Litre containers. It emulsifies ok. If I remember correctly it cost about $6 or 7au. Penrite have agents in most states. Abroad too I do believe. Question: I have the nipples on my '47 102...... does a normal grea...
