old trials fanatic Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 To be honest B40's are a doddle to work on. Then again thats easy to say when youve rebuilt a few The best "manual" i have found is the Rupert Ratio unit single engine manual which covers C15, B40, B25, B44, B50 etc. Lots of illustrations and tips from a bloke who has rebuilt more BSA unit singles than the rest of us ever will. Normally comes up on evil bay, although i couldnt see one when i just looked, or you could try Amazon. Published by Panther Publishing the ISBN number is 0 - 9535098 - 1 - 8 Well worth the money think it was about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beamish owners club Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 A veryuseful place to get parts is www.trialsbits.co.uk the guy there runs a B40 himself and knows his onions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big john Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Had a quick look at the site this afternoon, looks promising, he has some bits and bobs I need as it happens. Is he a reliable supplier? Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he a reliable supplier?Big John He? She actually. Amanda is one of the best suppliers i know. I order lots of bits from her on line. Great comms and always arrive within 48hrs. Top lady. Usual stuff no connection blah blah blah satisfied customer blah blah blah You know me i would be quick enough to highlight poor shoddy service. So only fair to award stars for good service and Amanda gets a full five from me. Strange you dont hear so much about Millers nowadays.
