-JdK- Dan in Australia is looking for a barrel for his 1929 Model 19; please contact us when you can help. In his own words:
"The project is a basket case. Engine number 423xx and Frame number 588 S392xx. According to Chris Streather the engine was despatched to Australia in Jan 1929 and the frame in Sept 1929. So a bitsa.
I have a good frame, engine mount plates, tank, oil tank, Magdyno, guards, footpegs, brake pedal, levers, seat frame and handlebars. Webb forks are incomplete, front wheel has been sourced but I haven’t got it yet, engine came with some bits of barrel but none of them are any good. Besides the barrel I need pushrods and all the nuts and bolts. I have a later model big end (1” mainshafts) in good condition and a rusty big end with the correct 7/8” mainshafts which I’m hoping to resurrect. Piston I can get from JP Pistons in Adelaide, they have the pattern
The gearbox and clutch are missing various bits, but I’m hopeful I can source those locally or fabricate them myself from a pattern.
Apart from that its all the little bits, fuel and oil lines and fittings, cables, nuts and bolts, chains and sprockets etc etc etc.
But the biggest hurdle is the barrel. 1929 Model 19. Bore 79mm x stroke 120mm"
