Hi everyone,
I am looking for a steering head bearing top cone part No. 65-5319. The bearings on the 1946 B31 are different than the later ones (1" inner diameter), and were also used on Bantams. Unfortunatetly I haven't been able to find one anywhere, and am hopping someone might have one lying around. At the moment this small part is keeping me from coming further with the restoration. Alternatively, does anyone know of a suitable taper bearing that would fit?
I am also looking for some further parts which are missing:
Front brake plate part No. 65-5895
Rear brake anchor strap part No. 65-6275
Front Engine Plate cover part No. 65-4431
...and a complete gearbox.... Mine is too far gone to try saving it (bike was found in very poor condition with water and mud inside...). I would actually rather use the later gearbox introduced in 1948 as the parts for the early one are impossible to find. I know the differences and would mmodify the later box to fit my 1946 bike.
So if anyone can help, I would be very grateful. I am located in Germany.
Cheers,
Gui
