I have just acquired a cotton trials bike which i am told has an REH 360 conversion on a villiers 32a bottom end, does anyone have any info on these bikes and approx dates of manufacture. is it pre 65? (no frame number present)

never heard of a REH 360? but John Burns of Motocross Motors developed one for the 32a.

I've got a REH 350 (360?) barrel. It would appear that the villiers cases have to be machined larger to suit the larger liner.

Can you send some pic's?

Regards

David

Robin Humphreys , REH , made some big alloy barrels to fit the villiers 37a around 1968

it was 250cc , it was an option on the late manufactured Bob Gollner, Cheetah`s.

but there could have been a 350cc one ?.

due to the large size and shape ,they got nicknamed, the dustbin !

Yes they look like a dustbin or soup pot. My 350cc barrel has "REH" stamped on the bottom

I've posted some pics of the 250cc REH barrel and the Cheetah trials bike with the barrel fitted

this is my 360. its in a 32a bottom end due to the machining. the 37a cases dont have enough meat on them and the machining breaks through the sides.
