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,

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.

J.T Classic Stainless and eBay

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

Wipac type brake switch brackets

Peter placed a large order, but the Wipac brake switch was out of stock. J.T responded when the part was back in stock. This is typical J.T, And it is related to the next below

Hello John,
Very sorry I missed your email yesterday and have only just started catching up !
I am looking forward to the Wipac brackets arriving and wish to know the cost of these and postage so I can reimburse you.
Things are getting busy this end as H.M.Voice wants three rooms decorating and I would rather get on with my projects, perhaps I should loose my hearing aids. Think it’s time to visit chuckle corner that always puts a smile on my face.
Very best wishes my friend,
Peter.

J.T Replied

Hi Peter,

 I can remember the wife giving me a “jobs to do list” one spring, the bikes were at the bottom of it. Took it down the workshop with a cup of tea, after a cigarette and very brief discussion with a couple of the lads we decided to turn it upside down !

 Don’t worry about the brake switch brackets my friend, we can catch up if you should ever need anything else.

As always best regards and remember whoever invented decorating wants screwing, but whoever invented screwing wants decorating 😉
