  1. Bonhams Auction this weekend – lot 89 A Canterbury Trials Sidecar, mid 1950's, has undergone a full restoration since acquisition forty years ago by the current owner, aluminium-skinned finish. SALEROOM NOTICES This sidecar is that of the same type used by Ariel works rider Frank Wilkins in the International Six Days Trial. Included with the sidecar are fittings for Ariel HT5 and mid 1950s Triumph spring frame models together with a Canterbury spares catalogue. The online catalogue includes a photo
  2. Hi Steve The Marston Sunbeam Club and Register is the club for pre WW2 Sunbeams. http://www.marston-sunbeam.org/
  3. In you tube there is a series on building a pre 65 Enfield Trials by 'shedbuilt dave'. Might be worth a view. Nice to see Dave's workshop is more untidied/cluttered that mine!
  4. Hi jc2 Tried to send a pm but your box seems to be full. Jim
  5. Hi andy m Asked Ron some time ago for a guide - around £100. Pension sadly would not stretch far enough. jc2 Many thanks for going to the trouble of explaining everything in an easy to understand manner. Much appreciated. Have an old George Todd head but for a 125. Stud spacing wrong for a 175 to try to increase comp ratio back to normal. I assume fiddling about with the ignition timing might help a little.
  6. Many thanks for replies. Saw a spacer for sale on the Progressive Classics web site and just wondered if anyone had first hand experience. The Bantam racing site has lots of advice and guidance on making a Bantam go faster - without spending pocket money on 'fancy' alloy bits, yet nowhere seems to have even basic guidance on tuning an engine output for trials purposes. Forks, frame, shocks, gearbox but little else.
  7. Anyone tried a cylinder spacer on their Bantam to improve pulling power?
