Anyone off you have experience with backorders from Dragonfly?
How long it takes for them to get the part? They say something abou 2 months? I do not understand how it works.

Hi,

Try C&D Autos. You will have to email with your question or telephone as they do not have an online shop. Give the model and part number.

I gave up on Dragonfly. Everything appeared to be on back order, then never arrived.

Hello, thanks Dave and indie! I will check for the push rods elsewhere

That's a pity. When they have the part in stock they are pretty good.

I agree, if Draganfly have it in stock they are pretty good, although a lot of patten parts are in their inventory and of variable quality, they are always polite and helpful.  If it is on back order I would give up and buy elsewhere as I have some things on back order for months, if not years!

I used C&D for lots of things when they were in their original shop when I did the first B31 resto mid 80s, but not used since they moved (yes I know that was years ago).

Vale Onslow currently seem to have a lot of NOS stock being listed on E-bay, a bit at a time, and I have been delighted with the stuff I have bought being original BSA parts, but they come out in dribs and drabs so I don't think you can order stuff in the usual way any more..

Thanks, I have questioned C&D no replay so far.
I have all parts waiting in Preston at my brother's jus need to fin that pushrod....
Anyone ? I searched Internet and there are some in Australia or US...some second hand at eBay...-nit sure if this second hand are good option since cost more than new ones?

Anyone has spare- good condition pushrod for B31/33 I'm glad to arrange purchase via my brother..

Cheers
Dan

Ian confirmed he is sold out with pushrods for Models.
Still searching since one of my old ones gave been cut to fit some crazy valve set-up....

Mikes in Aus have them at 26 euros plus postage.
I used them when the only place I could find the correct Cush drive bearing for a 2-lobe shock absorber (65-2539) no where in U.K. had them
Postage was v reasonable and swift (price on website is Aus dollar. Lot lower value than US dollar.

[Dan_B33]

Hi, thanks for that tip!
I have decided to take one of the UK eBay...second hand. I hope it is straight...

Shall I buy this part x2?
Pesltd.uk states required qty. 2

[Dan_B33]

Just realize someone welded enforcement plate into clutch case. That is adding extra 3mm. No wonder clutch case was moving at the end part with lever operation. Need to remove at least 2mm of it or more?

[Dan_B33]

This is another how not to B33 advice!
