1 hour ago1 hr Author I have been away for a while but did not loose the desire to build a Peter Gaunt replica. Update! I had gathered quite a few parts and then dropped upon a very rough Peter Gaunt rolling chassis. Clearly showing the unique features of the machine. Having stripped it apart I am amazed at the strengthening of the swinging arm and frame. In addition it has a two-stroke tank brazed within the actual frame. A brazed in screw filler cap to the left side of the frame In all the photos I have seen on the net they show an external rectangular tank to the left side of the bike. Since this internal tank represents significant work, it make me wonder if this was just a few bikes produced like this. Or later iteration? I found one photo showing this detail with a young Mr Gaunt with it at a trail. If anybody could shed any light on this please. I will post some of photos of the detail. The swinging arm had to be repaired. Left side damaged and bodge welded.
