Singles / b31 crankshaft bearings
« on: 14 September, 2020, 20:32:41 »
the original b31 crankshaft bearings are now superseeded by SKF , NGK, and others. but i m unsure as to whether i need c3 or cn tolerances with any of the three bearings. i ve also seen MRJA bearings the same sizes [ 1 1/8 and 7/8 ] but which suffix is correct? any recommendations?

Singles / b31 alternator
« on: 21 April, 2020, 20:22:08 »
resigned to having to strip down engine at some stage as barrels oily and metal in oil pump found. i thought i could finish off chain alignment and rotor fitment and guess what? i tighten up the drive side nut and i lock up the crank as there is no endfloat. i ve read in a very vague engine strip article that crank spacers do wear. is that whats happened here?

« on: 22 December, 2017, 17:57:30 »
i ve had my bsa plunger application rejected for two new reasons from the dvla input services group.
1. dating certificate over a year old. [ by a few days ]
2. date of despatch is no longer valid. it must be date of manufacture.
merry christmas from the input services group.

The Star and Garter / "resist the dvla, and i thought it was the u.k. ?"
« on: 21 September, 2017, 22:29:15 »
just been rolled by the dvla over a nice registration number on a a10 plunger. registration is on their website so i thought an older type blue v5 would suffice. sent of bottom slip. vender [66 year old who owned it for 30 years] sent top part all signed etc. the application went to central casework group who asked for proof. frame number, number plate and most bits of bike .photos sent. now they cant issue a v5 as parts do not constitute a roadworthy vehicle. when restored apply again and advise on the next process.
so dvla cant issue a v5 to a car without an mot? not roadworthy.
choose one of the following options?
get a car? buy your number plate? or pay your money and do as your told?
