Be interested when that bodge was done Birmingham 021 numbers were changed to 0121 in 1995 so the paper is 27 years old at least

So if it lasted 27 years, does that mean it qualifies as a repair rather than a bodge 🤣

Paper quality must have been better then! The stuff in the 70's wouldn't have lasted that long.

well there appears to be good and bad, cylinder bolts look to have come out ok? fingers crossed the threads in the top case are good. from the pics the cam looks ok, again fingers crossed for the rocker gear (think I have a set that I'v robbed for spares) but it doesnt tend to suffer that badly. without condoning violence, whoever is responsible for that cam chain tensioner wants a ding round the lughole. bottom end, oh dear, well on the positive that ear trumpet actually looks surprisingly clean, that crank however looks to be sh*gg*d. if theres nothing to lose ie you think its junk, I'd take a brillo pad and plenty of water to the big end pins and see if they clean up, looking at the pics though I'm doubting it. might well be a shopping trip to fleabay for another crank, good news though I think most of those shells are available...

Not sure if it's any help , but it's about 20 miles east of me and would gladly pick it up for you. How it gets form here, we could sort out later?

Thanks chaps. I have bought the cranks and was about to accept the kind offer of collection, when it popped up as free 3 day delivery. Result. Worth a punt. On another note. I had a reply from the fella that sold me this "runner", who is sticking to the notion that it ran fine. Just needed the carbs tweaking a bit. Can you IMAGINE the noise it must have been making 😳 He must be as deaf as a post !!! Thanks again all.

You need to put a jump battery and leads in the car when you pick them up
