Hi Solvent3

I am very interested in your C15 project, especialy the bashplate I can't find any for sale for the C15 (anyone have any clues?)

Do you know if it's a "home brew" bashplate or a bought item.

Cheers Kev

For a bashplate, if you want something fancy would imagine D & C Classic Motor Cycles can help you out or re-direct you. Otherwise for the more pure functional try Steve Jones of http://progressiveclassicproducts.co.uk/ , he has been known for a while for the loads of stuff he does for Ajays and Matchless, but seems to have expanded his activities for the good of the classic British-trials-iron enthusiasts.

Was looking at Alf the other day and looking at the sump which hangs

down below the bottom frame rails,is there a sump guard/bash plate

for the C15 or will I have to make one.Googled plenty of websites looking

for such an article but no joy. Making one won't be a problem but it would

be nice to see one so I can get some ideas.

Finally on the mend after last weeks Serious Man Flu ,missed last weeks trial

on the TY.Managed to do a bit of work on the Alf the C15(new small end bush).

I was wondering what sort of fit/clearance there should be between the bush and

the gudgeon pin(waiting on a reamer coming to finish it off).

hey broony, i would think your looking at half a thousandth of an inch minimum, and 1 thou' max. .0005"-.001"

Alf lives,got a wee tune out of him today .

cheers the noo Brian

Think all going well Alf will be ready for Kidlaw on the 3rd of June,hopefully

going up next weekend to help with sections and give Alf a shakedown.

cheers the noo Brian

Had Alf out today for a wee shake down,

not as bad as I thought it would be,got

a couple of things to do.Made me smile

to see the looks on the other riders

cheers the noo Brian

I'll be ordering a carb in the next few weeks for Alf,does anyone have

a spec. for a 22mm Amal mk1 concentric-jet sizes,needle,slide.Any

advice would be much appreciated.

Hi Ross,

the body is slowly getting there,must have got bitten on the foot

by something(the joys of sleeping in a tent) as between my wee

toe's swollen/inflamed/itchy.I got some tablets from the doctor,I'll

be fit for Sunday.Will give John a buzz.

Well that's Alf's year finished,finished his last trial today.Nearly managed a full trial

but the chain came off on the middle of the last section on the last lap.I couldn't see

anything obvious to cause this apart from a build up of muck around the front sprocket?

I don't run a chain guard would this help stop some of the muck getting trapped ?

Alignment is ok/tension ok and its new chain and sprockets anybody had anything

similar?

cheers the noo Brian

what did you end up with as far as jetting for your 22mm amal?

Hi there I got the carb. from Amal.I phoned them to order the carb. and

spoke to a really helpful bloke who sorted out the jetting as they have

loads of info concerning carburation,Fitted the carb and it only needed

a slight adjustment.Think I've got it noted somewhere I'll have a look and

if I find them I'll let you know.
