Absolutely brilliat work Jan 
Ron, you're very lucky that Jan's an Enfield man and could make this for you. That's great stuff

Yes thanks again Jan. I don't think we could tell it from an original....Even if we saw one
Here is the other side with the tool box fitted. Ron

One offs or small volume production of old bike parts isn't a way to get rich unless, somehow, you can get people to pay an appropriate hourly rate...
Generally that's difficult and it's enthusiasm for old bikes and the determination to make things available that does it as much as the financial reward...Ian

Rest assured Ian. Jan won't be taking his family on any exotic holidays from the proceeds of this project. We just try to help each other, but I have to admit, it's definitely a bit one sided at the moment! Ron

Well, it was me who talked Ron into this project in the first place... So I feel morally obliged now to help him a little bit... And isn't he doing a great job! Remember that we started with only an engine and three photographs!

Highly unlikely Michael. As far as we know they only ever built four of these bikes. However there is a hint that maybe a couple more went to Australia, but our contacts with access to the AWM are not responding lately

Time for a small update… Ron has also asked me if I could make a silencer for this project. I have got an original Enfield silencer here that has gone through a vivisection, and with the dimensions of another (complete) original silencer I had enough information to start making a small batch: one for Ron, one for my WD/C project and one for my WD/CO project.
The exhaust gasses enter the silencer and go through a baffle with a perforated tube behind. When the gasses have gone through the perforations, they are in the first “chamber” of the silencer. An “S” shaped deflector plate guides the gasses to the second “chamber”, where the opposite happens: through the holes of the perforated tube, through the tube and the baffle and out… This is half of an original system and a principle sketch:

I started by cutting the blanks for the silencer body (1.5mm) and the deflector (1mm) with an electrical shear guided by a straight strip.
Then I made templates for the elliptical baffle (1mm) and cone shaped endcaps (1.5mm).

I used some angle iron and a wooden pole to “roll” the silencer body. The seam was gas welded, the tube was squeezed in the vice to obtain an elliptical section. This was followed by planishing over a tube (there is a larger thick wall tube inside the silencer body, for the planishing).

The “S” shaped deflector plate was bent with this setup.

The cones were bent over a conical former. After welding the seam, I shrank the large diameter over a stake. The small diameter was given its perfect round shape over a former.

Then I welded some rings and welded these to the cones.
This was followed by brazing a 1¾ inch tube in the endcaps.

Then I made a flange on the perforated tubes. This was welded to the elliptical baffles. Everything’s ready to assemble now.

The labyrinth is assembled and slid into the silencer body.
email (option): wd.register@gmail.com
The endcaps are squashed into an elliptical shape, and finished over a stake.
This is followed by welding the endcaps to the silencer tube.

Oh, and I also made the correct clip…

Jan.... that is amazing!!! Fantastic workmanship
email (option): horror@blueyonder.co.uk
They are amazing! I think Jan should give up his day job and make Royal Enfield silencers....Make a fortune and retire young
Mind you the delivery system has gone to pot this time
The oil tank arrived here within 24 hours
Is anyone passing Jan's house and coming near mine

It's going to take Ron ages to drill out those baffles so it sounds loud
email (option): horror@blueyonder.co.uk
very impressive!! making all these drilling in the small tubes with a manual drill!! Jan you are incredible!! do you sleep the night???
beautiful work on this unfoundable part ,and yes i think they sound very good!
felicitations
