Apart from the insane 3a.m. start I had a good day at Shepton Autojumble...Caught up with a few of the regulars and managed to find a few things to buy...A boxed NOS Lucas 'screw in' horn button for my Bonneville project along with a parts list for the same...Also, a nice quality, lightly used pneumatic sheet metal nibbler and a full set of 6 and 12 sided Britool A/F sockets.
I picked up the rebuilt rear wheel for my M20 from the wheelbuilder (though unfortunately he hadn't finished the wheels for the sprinter in time) and a NOS +.020" B33 piston...
The usual consumables..grinding discs, polishing mops etc. were also easily found..
I also found a chap who only lives 40 miles or so from me to make an alloy tank for the Triumph...I'll be paying him a visit soon as what he had with him for display purposes looked very good and reasonably priced.....
I'm still looking for a good R H side riders footrest for a 1970 T120 Bonneville if anyone has one in their shrapnel box...Ian

It was a very good jumble, probably the best in the South West of England at this time, but there were some alarming rumours that it could be coming to an end soon, lets hope not.
I bought some nice chunks of stainless steel to make bits of bike from, a bronze sidecar fitting mentioned in my other thread and an original copy of the 1940 BSA universal spare parts book which I have been after for many years.
And of coarse a great social event.

I went with my mate 'Ariel Graham' and his son and we thoroughly enjoyed the day. Despite the 20 mile detour round the road closure at Castle Carey
I bought most of the stuff on my shopping list and met up with friends as usual.

I wanted to go for first time but we had arranged to stop with relatives in bath for weekend...finally convinced swmbo that I really neeeeeeeeeded to go and its not far from bath.....just found out that it has cost me 2 tickets for her and cousins wife to have afternoon tea at the pump rooms in bath.....£39 !...
..small price I suppose to be able to spend money without her being around and knowing how much, and a sneaky bacon bap or 2.

Yep sounds good. I was in the flying club today as usual on a Wednesday for bacon butties with mates. I gather, Kitty Von Mew will be on parade

Wasn't she the one that stole the hat off that really small girl, then got drunk and left her skirt in the toilets?...Ian

I'll be coming with Guerney Phil as a passenger. He's escaping from that God forsaken rock in the English Channel as a foot passenger. Ron

I'm there as a 'punter' as well...There's still a few bits I'm looking for so fingers crossed..
I'm looking forward to Stafford at the end of next month as well...My stall number there for anyone interested is 418..Pretty much in my usual location....Ian

I spent the whole day trolling round and just bought some petrol tap corks
However I spent a lot of time chatting to friends, and Rob Miller very kindly gave me an ex WD thread tap....with a thread size and pitch that no one has ever heard of. Ron

No worries Ron, that's the sort of generous chap I am.
I really enjoyed the day, I bought some nice rusty parts and oily parts, and one part that was both rusty and oily
And its always great to meet up with like minded mates, John OB seems to be becoming an obsessive number crunching rivet counter (at long last) and I even ran into Chris Orchard.
Great fun. Rob

Yep! Paul Harmes asked me to look out for a speedo. I wonder if he'll ever ride that Enfield. Ron

Had a good day at the jumble if a tad cold, nice to catch up with some of the old gang, but sorry I missed you Ian.
I found a WD motorcycle tool roll which will go in the washing machine this week and a pretty rough pair of DR boots and a few other bits.
