  1. Hi Robido, thanks for the 'steer', I did try Feked previously but could not fine anything. I will try searching under C15 as that could be the difference ! Cheers
  2. Hi b40rt, many thanks for the reply and advice, that is brilliant and opens up a world of stuff I had not thought about ! ;o) Best regards
  3. Hi, I am just finishing a Tiger cub trials project and would appreciate any advice on the rear sprocket. The current chain is a 520 and I see from the manuals and most postings that a 420 is the standard size. The 520 clears everything and I would like to stay with this if possible as it will be stronger and will cope with the awesome power of the 275cc upgrade on it...... Joking, the power is still not arm-wrenching but it does sound excellent! ;o) All the sprockets I can find on the interweb are 420, can anyone advise on where to go for a 520? Best Regards
  4. Hi, i thought I would ask as I bet someone on here knows before resorting to ordering a thread gauge as plan 'B'.... ;o)
  5. Hi, does anyone know the metric screw thread for the lock nut that clamps the top yoke to the lower yoke column? I think it is metric fine or extra fine but am struggling to find a half nut for it, it definitely is not coarse. Many thanks SB
  6. Hi, reproduction ones are available at fecked.com , both very shiny or unpolished options! Regards
  7. Hi PH1, I have just bought one also and found this website useful when checking my serials, OSSA MODELS REFERENCE LIST (2y.net) http://ossa.2y.net/ossa/reference/ossaref.html Hopefully the links work, if not copy and paste the second one into your browser, Regards
  8. Thanks for the feedback ! I can believe it about the tank, I think they must be made of Unobtainium......😄
  9. The little TL is back on the road and the first ride was last week when it just happened to be the hottest day in March since 1968! It ran well, the drum brakes leave a little to be desired and it photographed well, all that polishing paid off ;o)
  10. Hi, the daytime MOT does seem to be a minefield, there is an excellent thread on being road legal somewhere on the forum and views definitely differ. I spoke to my local MOT tester and they advised that no lights are required, or a speedometer to pass the test, but a legal number plate and proper single tone horn are ( no bulb horns anymore... ). However I am also informed that to be legal on the road a speedometer is required by the police. Reading up on it a lot I can see the requirements to pass an MOT may be complimentary to being legal and compliant to being on the road. Mine is going in next week so I will let you know how it goes, to be honest I am more concerned about the drum brakes, I had forgotten how not very good at stopping things they seem to be.... Regards
  11. Hi MrP, I am pretty much doing the same thing, needed a lock down project, bought a 1976 TL125 that looked ok on the web and needed a little more doing than anticipated. But it has been great fun and kept my sanity through COVID. Mine has the V5 and as it is not registered as historic yet I plan to try and get it through the MOT for the challenge! I bought my particular one as the tank and side panels were 'straight', not much else was... ;o) Good luck with your project I will watch out for posts, we can probably share lessons learned through the process. Regards
