Good afternoon, John, 

The parts arrived today and thank you very much for them and the “extra”!

Superb quality, as usual. 

We’ll all miss your engineering skills, but you deserve a well earned retirement. 

Wishing you the best of health, my friend 

and all good wishes to you. 

You’re a good chap. 

   Catch up soon, 

  Mal Corfield.

Malcolm Corfield – BSA C15 B40 LOWER FORK BUSH NUT TOOL (H421)

Good afternoon, John, 

The C 15 bottom fork nut tool is one of the best things that I’ve ever bought.

Brilliant! 

I put some threaded rod through the stanchion and socket to hold the tool on squarely and a washer and nut on the bottom. I’m so pleased. 

 Your oil seal holder tool looks great, but I can’t see how you can get it over the top part and locate it in the chrome cover slots.

Many thanks and best wishes, 

           Mal Corfield. 😁

Hi Malcolm, the fork seal tool is designed for the earlier seal housing which did have the larger top lip or top O ring dust seal as per the new replacement ones, I have in the past cut just above the two side lugs leaving the three lugs which will then pass around the centre of the housing and found the tool to work ok just picking up on the three slots.

 Many thanks for your comments on the lower fork bush tool, any problems don’t hesitate in calling me, 07505027666

Parts finally cleared customs and very pleased with the quality! Wishing you a happy retirement, smooth riding, and that I’d ordered a few of your tools kits while they were available. 

Many thanks,

Hi

Just a quick word of thanks for the excellent BSA C15 horn bracket.  Laser cut, it is a perfect copy and looks stunning.  Unsurprisingly, it fits first time, perfectly.  A great item, well packaged and processed promptly.

Very many thanks,

Clive Rothwell

Afternoon John, thanks for the enquiry, trust your keeping well my friend.

 I don’t actually do the D370, From my Triumph Parts Tool Manual it is a combined 3/16″ X 1/4″ flat Whitworth spanner, the closest I do to that is my part number S439 a curved 3/16″ X 1/4″ Whitworth spanner in 5mm thick stainless ( originally designed for cylinder head,/barrel nut access) £11.45 plus p&p or if you should want to double it up with the 1/4″ X 5/16″ S440 £21.75 the pair plus p&p

Hope this is of help, best regards

Hi John, thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

As you can see from my image, I already have one of those from you for my barrel nuts, but forgot I had it (senior moment)! It works a treat as you can see. Along with your other tools.

Feel free to use the image on your site. 

Good to hear from you again, will be in touch. 

Take care my friend. 

John.

Thanks for your message. Noted about stopping ebay. Will you be continuing doing stainless parts? I’m currently building a Metisse and will likely need some bits and pieces making.

Many thanks Tony

Morning Tony,

 Yes my friend, the stainless parts and tools will still be available from my web site Classic Bike Parts UK www.classicbikepartsuk.uk

Whilst eBay has been an excellent sales tool, their increased selling costs, which from April will be some 13% taken off both the goods and postage along with the listing fees, VAT, and other hidden costs, charged at point of sale, as a private individual, just do not make it viable ( or in my opinion fair to customers ) to continue.

 Trusting that no inconvenience is caused in the transition, the same service and next day postage on goods is still aimed for, along with Royal Mail signed for service..

Best regards

John. The parts arrived today, excellent. I’ll polish them up and they will be just the job on my Metisse.

John many thanks….I fully understand your position….ebay have got greedy and are kicking the arse out of their dominant position….I’ll be in touch in future I hope. Cheers Tony
