I'm after a pre Hinkley 5 speed box. I don't think it matters if its right or left shift. Anyone got one under their bed or shed or in your shed within a shed?
I will ask around on Thursday night at the meeting of WABBBT ( West Auckland British Bike Brains Trust) for you. A 5-Speed for sure to make the best of it. At least I can ask them what years are good ones, if any..What you looking at spending? Trevor Hall has that sort of stuff if you ask nicely and be seated for the price, also Nesbit will have one and all the bits to recon it. I like this dude's videos; http://www.triumphrat.net/vintage-te...nt-videos.html
I will ask one of my mates at work in the morning for you. He is/was the pres of the Dunedin BSA/trumppy club. He may know of something. Freight my be a killer though. My oldies are in the UK at the moment I will ask the old man to keep an eye out as well.....
I asked Mr Nesbit, who I imagined as a sort of Brit bike Steptoe and Son......he quoted me $1200 for a set of gears and a cam plate They go for around 3-5 hundy US on Ebay depending on demand. So I'm probably looking at 800 nz...... I suppose its just wait and see what comes up..... Thanks guys for keeping an eye out.
I asked my man down here, he has plenty of 4 speed but no 5 speed sorry 'bout that.........
not to worry.... and wouldn't you know it...one sold on TM a couple of weeks ago...
