I find C & D Autos can supply all I ever need for my B40 Wd GB engined iron horse! Tel 01564 795000. I had the same issue when I bought mine, they recommended and supplied a sprocket/duplex primary chain that fitted perfectly with no cutting. Good luck. Mark

Cheers all...HCP will do it for

Neil Gaunt has got a nice conversion on his Ariel too, think he uses a handbrake cable...some nice pics in Classic Offroad a few issues back. good luck.

Hello all...I'm looking to get my B40 stanchions repaired as they have some pitting right where the seal does its work...anyone recommend a repairer? I've emailed Fitforx today asking for a quote but no reply yet. Cheers, Mark.

Checked 3 bikes at yesterday's St David's trial....dBA at 1 metre was less than 86 on all three. All were 2 strokes, 2 GG + 1 Sherco. Sound power levels reduce by around 5dBA every doubling of distance so at a few hundred metres you shouldn't disturb anyone-unless your riding a TRW Montesa like the young chap at yesterday's event, the bike had obviously been 'tweaked' with some or all of the noise mitigating devices removed...naughty boy! Cheers, Mark.

Not sure but thanks a lot for checking yours, I've got a few pictures and maybe can take a few measurements of 'known' dimensions and scale it up. I'll let you know what I get...thanks again. Mark.

Hello all...I am about to ship my hubs down to Talon and can't find where I wrote down the offset dimensions for the rear wheel (hub spacer face to rim)...anyone help please? Cheers, Mark.

Thanks for that, just measured the flywheel thread, its an M14x1.5 and looks to be the same as a TL125/XL185 flywheel. I have a spindle but the threaded portion is quite short so I think I'll wait till I get a puller. Thanks again, mark.

Hello all...in the middle of changing the camchain on my Seeley and find that the TLR puller I've got doesn't fit...any idea what Honda model puller I need? Cheers, Mark.

My Seeley exhibits a rather annoying 'ticking'...I'd put it down to either camchain or excessive valve clearance, both of which I'm going to check when I get my B40 up and running!! Good luck with yours, please post the 'solution' when you fix it Best regards, Mark.

Hello fellow Honda people, Anyone know where I may get my hands on an original (or pattern) sump guard for my Seeley?? Currently got a home made one fitted and would like to improve things a bit. Cheers all.

Here's the gentleman: This info was taken from another posting...good luck. Here Is RockShocks Phone Number (01543685430) Pete Eddy gave me this number at the Malvern Show. I would like to know how much a pair for a Bsa B40 about 14 inches long would cost. I think they are a work of art compared to some. Hope this helps. Regards Charlie. PS. And they are British.

Just going to replace the chain this time Scrump....going to take a look at the valve clearences as well as there is a distinct 'ticking' coming from that region! Just been informed that my new manual has been shipped so think I'll wait a couple of days..let you know how I get on. Best regards, Mark.

Design rights and Registered designs are available to protect a design's shape (3 dimensional)...adjusting size or making a very small change allows the original shape to be copied. When I recently registered a design for a hot food takeaway carrier I was reminded of this.... Patents are different..nightmare squared!! Cheers.

Hello Boys...Just about to change the cam chain on my Seeley, any tips? Engine in/out frame etc Haven't got a manual for the TL/TLR motor yet (Just ordered with Amazon) so any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark.
