Title: A10 nova five speed gearbox
Post by: Gerry Cain on 05 Aug, 2020, 15:43
Hi everyone !
I hope that you are all well and keeping safe.
I am new to forums and hope that I am allowed to post the following.
I Used to be  an Agent for Nova transmissions. I marketed BSA and Velocette 5 speed gearsets. They could not supply regularily and/or had other racing interests so I gave up on it.
The upshot is that I have for sale my last   complete Nova 5 speed road ratio A10 gear box brand new never used fits all BSAs .
It made such a difference over 4 speeds that I had to fit them to all my bikes . I have held onto it thinking it would go into another bike but I rarely ride the ones I have. I have not posted this elswhere preferring that this item should go to a "BSA rider"

I can be contacted on 07899 925357 thanks for reading
Gerry Cain

You could always sell the bike that you want it to fit to fund it. At least you would have a rare thing to look at.

I'll stick to my 4 speed box and spend the money on a holiday if and when I can.

Hi,

It does sound like a lot of money but if you were to find all of the components for a standard box new I suspect it would cost about the same.  Good condition used pinions seem to go for about £40 so by the time you buy 8 plus shafts, selectors etc. the cost will spiral and you will still have a used gearbox.  If starting with an empty gear box and intending to do a good mileage then it would probably be worthwhile.  I suspect that there may be no VAT involved so it would be useful to get the actual asking price.   If it was for an A65 I would have it in a flash or should that be a thunderbolt.

Dave.
