Hi Folks
We, I and some other guy, are interested in finding out exactly what these parts are.  The James (1955) parts list, see image, lists parts just for the K7C trials bike.  We need to know what the dimensions of the extra bits are?

Does anyone have these bits for us to measure, or be sent the dimensions.

Chiefly the extra holes in Part 36, the dims for the damper rod and what is the difference for part 35, from the normal part (5)

Hi Guy's.

 

 Hi Mark.

 

This looks like one of those "Hens-Teeth" situations.

 

Has I said the K7C was in fact the Cotswold scrambler and not the trials bike which was K7T, and although Bill Lomas fitted Hydraulic damped forks onto his works bike from 1950, the production James trials never had damped forks until 1955.

 

Most people fitted BSA forks to there James trials bike and I remember Bob Cooper doing just that on his works James at one point.

 

The James trials forks were reinforced with an "H" section between the yokes to stop them twisting, but I don't think it helped that much.

 

I tried fitting"Teledraulic" forks to my James at the time, but made the big mistake of trying to use the yokes as well, no good at all, the Billet boys of today would have solved the problem.

 

So you see where this type of modification started.

 

I will update my site on the Don Morley page with any other information I come up with.
