Latest New Products/Re-Stocks Update:
This page gives details of the latest products we have manufactured, or those that have recently come back in stock (i.e normally those that are being frequently requested by customers). Items are listed in order of most recent first.
Section 1: Latest Product Updates and Re-Stocks:
23/05/20 : Latest Newsletter No:30 - Spring 2020
Our most up to date Newsletter, showing all new products, re-stocks and Work In Progress, see it here:
23/04/20 : We have just completed a new batch of 0248/0248B crankcase One Way valves and breather unions - which have been out of stock for some time, Steph will contact those customers we know are waiting for them. For anyone not sure, one way valves were fitted to most single cylinder crankcases, and are often replaced mistakenly with straight through breathers if they get chewed or clogged. I am not sure how effective they work on all engines . . . but are the first thing I ask customers to check when they say they have oiling issues!
Find them here :-Item 0248: A2/707 Crankcase Breather OneWay Valve
26/03/20 : Coronavirus/COVID-19 Update and Other News
- Shims: A large consignment of all our popular shims now back in stock, including some new shims to our catalog - i.e. OHV/SV Mainshaft, some Norton Gearbox and BTH KD1 shims: Easiest to just search by Shims: Shim Search
- Big Ends and Bevel Bearings: Having been unavailable for some time, we are now able to offer SOHC Bigends from our original manufacturer, as well as a fitting to conrod and honing service. We are now also able to offer OHV/SV BigEnds in two types. We also have a limited stock of twin row Bevel bearings back in stock (0005).
Both are available in our Bearings Section: Bearings Section
Finally - we are pleased to update customers that we have now increased our postal service - as well as our normal provider - Royal Mail, we have now started using a well known and reliable UK courier - DPD for some non-UK and large parcel services. We believe this will offer significant customer savings for larger parcels, as well as maintaining reliability. We will automatically quote the most cost efficient service at order payment time.

12/01/20 : Latest News - Various Re-stocks and New Items
Restocks: December and January have been busy month's with numerous items coming back into stock. I wont list them all but amongst them are: Petrol tank dished washers/bolts (very popular), gearbox nuts, various TT/RN carburettor parts, SOHC Oil Pipes/breather pipes, Racing oil taps (for wrapround tanks) and many more items.
Also - many items in the pipeline - most notably, I have now been able to confirm a new order of all our shims (including a couple of new ones) - these should be ready in the next 4 weeks and Steph will contact those customers already waiting when available. Finally - we are also in progress on a batch of pre-war alloy gearlevers as fitted to early (possibly Works) Manx Nortons - expect 4 to 6 weeks on these - to fit Inters and M30/Manx, with Norton pre-AMC gearbox spline.
25/11/19 : Latest News - New: Black Felt (for Bearings etc) and Felts Kits
- If like me, you have had to make up special Felt washers to protect bearings, or have made up wool felt swabs, for instance - for Norton SOHC cambox leaks and primary chains, you will know that finding suitable good quality wool felt is difficult. Therefore we have recently introduced good quality UK supplied black wool felt, in various thicknesses, for this purpose. We have also made some small sections of 6mm thick felt (a thickness not easily available - but ideal for making the special felt washers often fitted to protect headstock bearings or dirt from getting in chaincases or swinging arms). We also offer a kit with a variety of all thicknesses, as well as a special marker pen - of the type I like to use for this purpose.
All can be found in our Gaskets section here: Bearings Section
05/11/19 : Latest News - Racing Mudguards Steel/Alloy - Back In Stock!
- I mentioned last week we were expecting our next batch of steel 'racing/sports' section mudguards due shortly. For once I got my timescales right and they are now in and available (see listings 0306 and 0307 in our Wheels section)!. As hoped, our manufacturer has also done for us another small batch of alloy mudguards as well - identical to the steel items but in light alloy, suitable for Vincent Black Lightning/Grey Flash reps, or Norton's as well if you like alloy rather than steel. These are item listings 0305F and 0305R. Not sure, how quickly the alloy ones will go this time - but if you are interested, suggest you get in fast, as much smaller quantities of these available.
25/11/19: By the way - with this new batch we have also had some rear mudguard brackets made to fit under the rear mudguards - see Item 0842 in the same section.
Note: We send mudguards out in heavyweight boxes - therefore post+packing a bit more expensive, but worth it to avoid dents etc.
See listings here: Fork and Wheel Parts
16/10/19 : Latest News - Product Re-Stocks: Brake Pins and Solid State Regs
- We have just manufactured a new batch of OHV/SV Rear Brake pins (as well as Inter and M30/M40). These proved very popular last time and the OHV/SV type soon ran out - so this time we have also manufactured a phospher bronze bearing to update your worn brake pedal at the same time! (OHV/Inter type and M30 type) -
