Re: Latest news M20 restoration.

Nice! But whats that electrical thingy bolted on the rear mdguard?

Re: Latest news M20 restoration.

Exactly what I wanted to ask too..
Is that an "Alton" rectifier for an alternator,
Or a solid-state regulator for a dynamo?...

A very nice bike!

I know a guy, which restored a WM20, but not in a military outfit. he did it red.
The guy polished the engine, the carb, painted it in deep red, and it really in a showroom condition.

The problem is that he liked so much the way it came, that he did not ever
Fill any fluids in it, or ever got it started.
I hope you would !

It is indeed a reg/rec for the Alton I've fitted Keith and Noam.. I will be riding this bike too Noam when finished. I hope to possibly ride it to the BSAOC International in Denmark next year..

Outstanding restoration...! I believe that brown box at the rear mudguard is a miniature Fletcher's dumpster...

Bet it still goes faster than a Norton even without the drive chains fitted!

Re: Latest news M20 restoration.

Many thanks Gentlemen for your comments. . And yes Sam, it is fitted with the MT110 you sold me..

Re: Latest news M20 restoration.

Sam. Mine is fitted to the WD/G that I am currently preparing. The bike came with an original MT110 base that was fitted with a repro lens cap. Now all is as it should be.
