hi all, just picked up a bsa pump from flea bay for £27, it has a makers name soundex on it, any one else come across this name before, it fits my m21 tank, and looks the right age pump. curt
Here my two BSA pumps, the top one can be seen in the 1939 parts list. The bottom one can be found in the 1946 parts list and both have the same part number.
The top one can be seen in some early war DeLuxe BSA photos, no idea when they changed from the one to the other. Would be interesting to know if that took place during the war. Both are the correct size to fit under an M20 tank. No makers name but BSA on them.
I bought another BSA pump last week at a local auto jumble, this time I was sure I had the right one, but when I got home I tried it under the tank its an inch too long. And now looking at it again I have noticed it has one of those strange swallow tailed broad arrows on the side which I had seen before but wasn't completely convinced about. It also has a maker "Bailey's Super Pump Made in England".
Could it be for a pre war BSA V twin or is it simply for a BSA Military Bicycle?
