Hi - may be to  far away for you but I dealt with Trident Motorcycles in Dudley (Steve) and E & D Engineering Bilston (Mick) both of whom are familiar with these engines. Trident do the Rob North Trident frames etc.

Thanks for the suggestions. The stove in our kitchen has packed up this week. Looks like monies put by for rebuild is being "diverted" as the wife explained...

looks like its time to get a workshop manual and some kit out. no over head cams or the like to worry about, only thing is with these bikes, and I know Im looking, is some of the bushes and bearings are expensive, some out of stock.
break the engine down and ask for reccomendations for regrinds , rebores etc this way you will save on labour.

Have sandwiches for a couple of months. Or bring the bike indoors and cook on the barbie in the shed.
