Thank you Carl I shall do some investigating

Hitchcocks tried to tell me the works bike had specially made gearboxes, I know this to be untrue as the fitted the same type box in some road bikes albeit with different gearing. Hitchcocks are great with Indian built stuff but have pretty sketchy knowledge/ records of British stuff, however they do regularly have older parts in stock but it’s difficult to make them understand what exactly I need without registration numbers, frame numbers and part numbers. pretty damn frustrating ?

Thanks for your replies. Looks like I’m in for a hard time finding the parts I need! here a photo of my bike and a photo of the offending gearbox I’m after

Hi Im trying to locate and buy a Royal Enfield bullet 4 speed Albion gearbox as fitted to the works bikes. I think the gearbox is the same as they fitted in the early 50’s trials and road bikes, recognisable by the separate (higher up) gear change lever. The bike I have was probably made from a late 50’s road bullet and so is fitted with the later wide gearbox, and I find it unsuitable for trials. If anyone can advise me as to where I might find a gearbox and what I should expect to pay I will be very appreciative.
