October 11, 201510 yr No, just couldn't see a link, didn't mean anything by it Sorry, not a dig at you. But it will start the pre65 haters off again
October 19, 201510 yr I emailed requesting information and was told that my email was forwarded to the correct person. I was asking about the rear stays on the Ariel HT frame some one told me that they had to be bolt on as per original. I thought this could not be correct as then GOV 132 would not be eligable for the trial. I never got a reply.
October 19, 201510 yr The Secretary has been on holiday which will be why emails may have gone unanswered thus far. She has asked me to post the following: "Apologies for the delay but the new eligibility guidelines booklet has taken longer to produce that we first anticipated to ensure that the wording is as informative and concise as possible. It should be available by early next week and if you would like a copy emailed to you as soon as it is ready, please email info@pre65scottish.co.uk with your request. As soon as it is available it will also be posted on the Pre'65 page on www.ssdt.org for you to look at or download. Sincere apologies for any frustration caused by this delay but we are keen to get this right and there is still plenty of time to enter as the closing date is not until Friday 4 December 2015. Entries are NOT done on a first come first served basis."

October 20, 201510 yr If I could ask for a little guidence also. I am contemplating risking a stamp as well , but before could someone help with a couple of queries . My Ariel has no rear stays, ie. the ones that drop down from below the seat and fix lower down I assume behind the clutch somewhere, is this frame allowed. I wish I could remember the builder. I also have a Yamaha forkbrace, I seem to remember they may be up for discussion. Lastly I cannot again recall who supplied the yokes and have been told just to mark them down on the sheet as replica of the time. They are not Spanish, and the last time it went North of the border 1999 it went through the scruitineering fine. Thanks in advance

You have to simply ignore what is written on here, there is only one way to handle your query and that is to take it up with the event organisers. Things have moved on significantly from 1999. I never assume that a machine that has past examination will pass now, its like having an MOT test! It is the Pre'65 Scottish Trial regulations you have to comply with, they decide if your machine is eligible for their event. It's a simple as that. Contact them direct and off-line. That is my advice. Best wishes, Big John Edited October 20, 201510 yr by big john
