Hello All,

      I've recently acquired a James Cotswold Scrambler which was raced in Southern California in the late 50's. The engine is a 7e Villiers unit and is missing most of the clutch side components. I was wondering what the best options are for a clutch in a trials conversion. I have seen the 9E multi plate used with slight modification and have even heard of a modern alternative. I look forward to your thoughts.

     

                                                                                 Cheers,

                                                                                    Ben

Your very best otion is to contact Villiers Services Birmingham UK, they have a good website.

It is now that sadly Simon Bateman and Nametab are no longer trading 

 

You could also try Paul at Cotton Villiers spares 

 

Usual i have connection with this firm other than being a satisfied customer etc etc

OTF is on the case here - Another vote for Paul Powell at Cotton Villiers Spares;

http://www.cottonvilliersspares.co.uk/ Paul is a riding mate who does a good job in keeping Villiers stuff running.

Villiers service, 9E conversion works almost as good as a modern clutch. I know, i,ve got 1.

Simon Bateman is still trading as Nametab only engineering side having sold all his spare to Villiers Services http://www.nametabengineering.com/

Cheers to all... I have found a source for 9E villiers clutch parts in the States. I will most likely be ordering the items required for conversion from the UK. Hope to be on the dirt soon! Ben
