Having started restoring my 1936 B18 and trying to aquire the few missing parts.  I have removed the mudguards and cleaned the little bit of old paint off and all the rust, they now resemble lace curtains. Can any one recommend a supplier of replacement blanks for me to fit. They are 5 1/4" or 140mm in french wide and 1 1/2" deep or 38mm deep not a "C" profile more like a shallow "D" profile

Good morning,
My friend Mr Alan Sykes is holding a classic bike show on May 29th Bank Holiday 12:00 to 17:00
This will be at the Coxley Valley Engine House, Coxley Lane, WF4 4PU.
There will be refreshments available and toilet facilities.
The best bit no entry charge and free parking.
Please support this venue if you can and help make it a success.
Kind regards and best wishes to all.

Bantam / Does it still exist?
05 May, 2023, 22:11:24
I would like to know if a Bsa Bantam still exists. It's registration number is JWX203 it was my mums first bike I have a picture of her on it in 1952/1953.
She was born in 1933 and it was her first bike, she can still remember all the registration numbers of all her bikes and cars. She has just celebrated her 90th birthday and is still driving. She has a clean licence but her old red card one tells a different story! She still has her Norton Dominator but cant start it any more, she has had it from new and last rode it 2 years ago. However a Honda 125 is no trouble except that it doesn't get out from under quickly enough for her and she thrashes it. And no she wont sell the Norton she wont even let me ride it either.

I have a 1936 B18 I need a headlight glass and a pair of knee grips. Any advice as to where to buy them from would be helpful., I suspect the rubber knee  grips will be difficult. I also need a Gear leaver and quadrant. I can make these myself but would need a pattern
