Thanks for the reply will sort out an order asap

Fitted parts to the cub as a dry run and found the swingarm bushes to be worn lateral play allowing swingarm to move side to side about 2mm.......have heard about a silentbloc conversion to replace the originals ...has anyone had the pleasure of fitting this type of kit ?

Seem to be good quality .

Moved on a bit need to sort something for the worn swingarm bushes but loks good I think ......

The wheels have been powder coated in chrome effect finish as the original wheels had major surface rust and the chrome was shot

effective cheap alternative

So the mountain cub has changed it's identity ???? Found out today via Tiger Cub register that my Tiger Mountain Cub is not a mountain cub it is a Tiger Cub sports ??

Many thanks To Mike Estall for the dating info.

Will do watch this thread !

Removed from my potential parts suppliers ............doesn't seem good service but if he's super busy things can go wrong I suppose..

How it looks ! pre strip

Will check the gearing as I strip the bike and will experiment to get best results cheers

It turns over now and the crank feels good so it's on with the build it wasn't dear less than a grand to buy it is all there just tatty and it's the T20S high compression motor so it should be fun when done..................will fit an electrex cdi and elec ignition when ready as it will be run with no lights etc and will add and modify as I go along pictures to follow as I go

I missed this , sad thing was I was in the garage fettling and my missus saw it and thought it was great and she hates top gear et al .......she didn't come and get me thought I was busy GRRRRHHHH!!

What is the best gearing set up for more top end on a mountain cub , it would do around 45mph normally but I am not going off road and would like to see maybe an extra 10mph......would fitting a normal tiger cub gearbox internals from a road going fit in and give me what I want ?

Thanks in advance

It didn't run it was locked up but it looks like fun will post as I go along , will probably need advice as I go along as well ,you know what they say never buy a non runner !

I have purchased a T20S tiger cub 1961 and in the process of stripping and rebuilding much fun and head scratching on the horizon I think...removed engine as it would not kick over and have partially stripped it out wha a mess !! looks like I have my work cut out....

Hello all I am new to the forum and after much searching for info this seemed the one for my needs, here's to many posts for the future.
