1i know there was a trader who was at Shepton Mallett classic bike show and autojumble, twice  a year that sold his own full size ramps.
you had the option of kit or made up and painted or raw steel. these were cheaper than the made up ones.

Hi Phil,

Apart from machining you can do anything that needs doing to a BSA in a domestic garage with a good tool kit and a few pullers etc.  These can be bought but experience and knowledge can only be gained by learning and doing.  A complete strip down and rebuild is within your grasp.

When you say "Apart from machining...", what machining would be likely to be needed?   I ask because obviously that would cost money.  Phil

Hi,

Anything that needs a machine to do like rebore, crank grinding, valve seat replacement.  So basically anything that you cannot do yourself with spanners.
