Title: Rupert Ratio books?
Post by: Barney Rubble on 28 Aug, 2023, 10:38
Hi folks. Are the RR unit single manuals vol 1 and 2 still available? I can find no contact details for the bloke, and the publisher has closed I think. Anyone selling eother, especially vol 1? Thanks.

Rupert Ratio is usually on here. His wife Lisa is also often a respondent to questions re' the availability of the three volumes.

Have you been to the web page?

Brilliant books, you must get them. Volume 3 though, be warned, if for true 'anoraks' (assuming you know the use of the word in the UK.

Yes, it's a bit much if they are still available new. Unless they come with a free bike!

Anoraks unite! I'm old enough to have had one when they first came out as a thing in the 60's! I was lead to believe they were somehow not available from them due to the silly money some seem to want for them. They still have the paypal links on their page, but no 'contact us' link, so was wary of clicking on until I verified it with them.

I have found the original BSA parts book very useful to go with the Rupert Ratio books. Especially to work out what threads your working with the Starfire can have a bewildering variety of threads the front mudguard used BSC, BSF, and UNF and every bolt is a different length. There's usually a few on eBay if you don't mind oily fingerprints

I wanted to order the unit singles manual so sent an email to the Contact email address and had a response within  half an hour to say that all three volumes are available  :)

Hi, just to confirm, all three Rupert Ratio books are available via the website www.ratiopublishing.co.uk

Books can be ordered by PayPal payment through the website or use the "contact us" button on the website to get in touch with us for other payment methods.
My wife Lisa will respond promptly! Orders received will be posted the same or next day (or collection is ok if you are near Shropshire). All books signed by the author, er, me...
Also happy to answer specific unit single questions sent via the Ratio publishing website and many engine parts for sale...
Best regards, Rupert.
