Robin Humphreys , REH , made some big alloy barrels to fit the villiers 37a around 1968

it was 250cc , it was an option on the late manufactured Bob Gollner, Cheetah`s.

but there could have been a 350cc one ?.

due to the large size and shape ,they got nicknamed, the dustbin !

Yes they look like a dustbin or soup pot. My 350cc barrel has "REH" stamped on the bottom

I've posted some pics of the 250cc REH barrel and the Cheetah trials bike with the barrel fitted

I have just acquired a cotton trials bike which i am told has an REH 360 conversion on a villiers 32a bottom end, does anyone have any info on these bikes and approx dates of manufacture. is it pre 65? (no frame number present)

Hi,

For anyone looking for information on Cotton trials models with Bob Light's help I am telling the story of the Quay Street, Gloucester factory's input to competition motorcycling - and, naturally, Pat Onions with Fluff Brown, in Issue 4 of our new electronic magazine - ORRe - which is due out in a few days time exclusively from this 'tc' website.

It is the second of a complete series of details of British Competition Motorcycle Manufacturers which will be included in ORRe - the first, the story of the Saracen bikes - is in the same issue.

Enjoy.
