Re: NOS caps from India

One day to go and nothing sold yet. I have bought complete bikes for that money but that is a long long time ago.

Here my 75 guilders XB31 and I still have it.

Re: NOS caps from India

Hi Folks
Maybe the Indians are turning their hand to manufacturing cardboard boxes. greaseproof paper and parts labels.

Re: NOS caps from India

Note the "small letters", that
"This will fit on 2.5" filler necks"

So it is an oil cap,
Not gas tank cap, (At least for M20) as headline states:
"British motorcycle gas tank caps lids BSA...."

But there are still good things to be found sometimes.

I found this speedo last week in an antiquities shop for 12 Pounds…
Not running yet, I guess it needs some cleaning, but well worth the money..
The fact thet it is in Km/h is actually better for me,but is the 85Mp/h equivalent.

Re: NOS caps from India

The clue is in the 'NC' suffix to the LV7 code. It is indeed a Norton part. 3577 is the fuel tank cap on the Norton. BSAs (and their owners, I believe) are known for having larger orifices

I might consider the price for an NOS pre/early war dull chromed example but certainly not for a late cadmium example where everything has been dulled off by the cosmolene.

The box does look exactly right but he's asking too much if he wants to sell them, bearing in mind that they will need re-finishing for use on a rebuild.

Also for a Gold Star petrol tank (after chroming) and an AA M20/21 tank which uses the smaller cap.....Ian

You lucky man


Thanks Orange County Henkie.

I wish I was lucky generally in my life,
But I do have scores sometimes...
You know-
Even a frozen clock shows the correct time twice a day…


When the guy told me the price, I had to put on my best poker face,
And I do not even know how cards looks like.. -Really..

Noam.
