forzamacchi Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Hello All, I've recently acquired a James Cotswold Scrambler which was raced in Southern California in the late 50's. The engine is a 7e Villiers unit and is missing most of the clutch side components. I was wondering what the best options are for a clutch in a trials conversion. I have seen the 9E multi plate used with slight modification and have even heard of a modern alternative. I look forward to your thoughts. Cheers, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old trials fanatic Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Your very best otion is to contact Villiers Services Birmingham UK, they have a good website. It is now that sadly Simon Bateman and Nametab are no longer trading You could also try Paul at Cotton Villiers spares Usual i have connection with this firm other than being a satisfied customer etc etc Edited March 4, 2016 by old trials fanatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon v8 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 OTF is on the case here - Another vote for Paul Powell at Cotton Villiers Spares; http://www.cottonvilliersspares.co.uk/ Paul is a riding mate who does a good job in keeping Villiers stuff running. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forzamacchi Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Cheers to all... I have found a source for 9E villiers clutch parts in the States. I will most likely be ordering the items required for conversion from the UK. Hope to be on the dirt soon! Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
