  1. Are many at all ? Back full circle to the perpetual issue haha!
  2. It is very amusing that we are debating this issue at all! Same probably applies to a lot of the cubs out there? Were the side points models pre65? Now I wonder though! if one were to build a pre65 bike based on a pre65 Bultaco (Not M10) would it ever been deemed eligible? I'd personally find a Sherpa N or Early Mercurio based bike far more interesting than a Bantam for example. Wayne....
  3. Only a single Triumph Cub in sight too Well as far as I noticed.
  4. It may be voluntary liquidation as pointed out elsewhere. Over the years I probably only ever purchased from Sandifords a handful of times, but then I do admit to being more of a Bultaco man!! In anycase it's always a sad day when an established company ceases to exist. It fairly recently happened to a company I had given 20 years of my career to, and they had been in business 40 years in total. Wayne....
  5. Very nice Javier. Bet it's not quite the same to ride as that lovely James of yours! Wayne.....
  6. Yes pretty much impossible to have been a Model 10. The brand was only 6 years old by 65 so not many other models to choose from! Wayne....
  7. Paul I'll look into it again. Would be no problem at all to remanufacture. Wayne....
  8. Look absolutely great! I think I spot a couple of familiar parts on there Wayne....
  9. I wonder how many Tralla, Metralla, Campera, Sherpa N models etc etc which were all earlier Bultaco models 59-64 and some still made into the 70's were actually modified and trialed during the contentious period. Probably some.... Same with Montesa and Ossa. I've fairly recently seen a couple of rather nice looking trialised Impala's and one 160cc Ossa around the net, all fairly modern conversions though. In my eyes far more interesting than say a Trial Bantam or the overly popular cubs. Wayne....
  10. There are about 3 different threads. Ossa Montesa Bultaco Have fun! As for the swinging Arm, have to look out for someone breaking a 242 or 330 Montesa I guess. No doubt there's others out there that could be utilised. Even a modified mono one <cough> Wayne....
  11. From Todotrial. A few radical looking Grippers in the same thread too. How "developed" they really are is anyones guess without more information. Wayne.....
  12. I was trying to be polite re the head steady The properly triangulated late Bultaco one was what they should have always been. I know for a fact I've welded and reinforced quite a number of the earlier pressed steel steadies. Forks look stock with 3 stay lugs removed and the trendy more modern looking arrangment for mounting the mudguard. Wayne....
  13. Looks nice Javier. Not sure about the wheels though, just not to my own taste. Raising the rear mudguard improves the look a lot, and I always like the Puma Style paintjob on the tank. Extra head steady doesn't look too functional though. Would of been better to just recreate the later Bultaco one. Wayne.....
  14. I was expecting something NEW Woody! Certainly the Puma's look better in my opinion. "Might" be a close run thing on actual level of development though.
  15. More likely to be MP Forks Javier. But I may be wrong.
  16. Agreed, well sorted and setup original points just works but is also not a fit and forget solution a lot of people seem to want. 2 Condensors is a good idea but I always fitted them both under the tank and left one disconnected as a spare just in case. Easy 2 minute job to swap out a suspect one for the spare. I also never bothered to use the oem condensor in preference to anything else. Wayne....
  17. I quickly googled it, and they are still available in the uk. Will wake up a whole neighbourhood if set off and at the same time probably create a wet and messy situation in the scums underpants! Wayne.....
  18. Are gamekeepers alarm guns still legal? Good solution if they do ever manage to get in. Wayne....
  19. Australian Agent seems to be getting ready. www.ossamotorcycles.com.au MOTO CENTRAL GROUP PTY LTD Sherco agents too?
  20. Steve Bonding nylon to HIPS is not very ideal for longivity of the bond. Personally I would go the threaded fastener route. Never going to look OEM but should last a lot longer. Wayne.....
  21. Ross C3's should be no looser than standard as far as the fit in the hub is concerned. It's their internal clearances that are looser to allow for use in housings that are tighter fit by design to allow greater working temp range without spinning. A normal grade bearing in a C3 specified housing would run tight. Wayne....
  22. Lee yes totally different to what SSDT1980 above was discussing. His are vacformed from HIPS Sheet from the look of them. Pink was good enough for many trials bikes in the past hehe. Wayne....
  23. Ross Maybe not. Probably just end up a with a little more clearance than standard bearings. C3 have more radial clearance to compensate for the more severe interference fits as used internally in the engine. Wayne.....
  24. Are they HIPS though? (High Impact Polystyrene) ABS does not suffer the same as HIPS with UV exposure. Or maybe they never got any sunshine Wayne....
