Hi Solvent3

I am very interested in your C15 project, especialy the bashplate I can't find any for sale for the C15 (anyone have any clues?)
Do you know if it's a "home brew" bashplate or a bought item.

Cheers Kev

For a bashplate, if you want something fancy would imagine D & C Classic Motor Cycles can help you out or re-direct you. Otherwise for the more pure functional try Steve Jones of http://progressivecl...products.co.uk/ , he has been known for a while for the loads of stuff he does for Ajays and Matchless, but seems to have expanded his activities for the good of the classic British-trials-iron enthusiasts.

Was looking at Alf the other day and looking at the sump which hangs
down below the bottom frame rails,is there a sump guard/bash plate
for the C15 or will I have to make one.Googled plenty of websites looking
for such an article but no joy. Making one won't be a problem but it would
be nice to see one so I can get some ideas.
cheers the noo Brian

Finally on the mend after last weeks Serious Man Flu ,missed last weeks trial
on the TY.Managed to do a bit of work on the Alf the C15(new small end bush).
I was wondering what sort of fit/clearance there should be between the bush and
the gudgeon pin(waiting on a reamer coming to finish it off).

Well that's Alf's year finished,finished his last trial today.Nearly managed a full trial
but the chain came off on the middle of the last section on the last lap.I couldn't see
anything obvious to cause this apart from a build up of muck around the front sprocket?
I don't run a chain guard would this help stop some of the muck getting trapped ?
Alignment is ok/tension ok and its new chain and sprockets anybody had anything
similar?

[bsausa]

what did you end up with as far as jetting for your 22mm amal?

[broony]

Hi there I got the carb. from Amal.I phoned them to order the carb. and
spoke to a really helpful bloke who sorted out the jetting as they have
loads of info concerning carburation,Fitted the carb and it only needed
a slight adjustment.Think I've got it noted somewhere I'll have a look and
if I find them I'll let you know.
