Thanks B40RT,

Have never read about period defined by "parts from one brand/bike" actually, even concidering pur..... no part been changed since 65 :P .

SSDT P65 regs is my bible so far, even if some thinks regs should be loosen up, I dont :o

FYI, hubs + shields Husky 175cc 1956

cheers,

nice looking bike and very interesting comparison of chin/sprokets weight.

i'd have thought that if you turned up at kinlochleven with it you'd ride the first time but might be 'unlucky' in the draw for future rides. the husky bits although period (easily) dont fall easily into the description of 'british' in the regs..

Thanks totalshell,

Not much of a bike yet :-)

A_al or Villiers carbs I do accept but dont understand, but are we seriously discussing; parts only manufactored within the UK as legal for UK P65 nationals or SSDT P65 set up? Guess not.

Hi,

Will ask for your opinion regarding oil for pre-unit pre-war engines.

In my book a tot perfect rebuilt engine should be threated with multigrade fylly synt; less carbo, lubr ~even, but have received strictly advice from two reliable sources to use singlegrade mineral..

Yes, for trials gearboxes because of tooth pressaure and ..for better friction KTM 2-s trans because of the std clutch design or Rekluse for that matter..

But inside a fresh 4-s engine/comb chamber, no.

Some said that seals might dislike "cleaning" additives in multigrade, the two seals for my crank are modern, fibre gaskets are from modern mtr..

But I dont know of..

*oil pump requirements

*tolerances verses a modern engine, singlegrade "fill the space better"...

*Bronze bush requirements

As I understand most of you using synt for P65 and some serie is supported by an oil supplier.

Carbs, is Amal Concetric MK1 legal for P65, SSDTP65?
