27-1055

[Hot Frog]

I do understand this isn't a supermarket, but my latest cry for help is another missing part.

The little beggar is 27-1055, right hand (front) rocker connecting bolt.

Rather handy because the top is threaded so you can screw the cable for the valve lifter in.

It's for a '32 Blue Star

Thanks folks

Can't be much help I'm afraid, but in the absence of the correct part, if you have a lathe it would be quite easy to make one.
If not, perhaps you could get a 3/8" BSCY bolt and drill and tap the end to accept the cable stop, maybe with a spacer to line it up with the lever.

Odd you should say that, I was just thinking of a lathe.....

Thanks for the nudge!

I don't know how I'd manage without mine. Just a simple Chinese one I got second hand for about £250 but it's remarkably accurate if a bit weedy.

I would be lost without my lathe. I needed the part you were looking for plus the lever and cable stay. A bit of time in the shed and here we go!
