Re: Web fork.

Some of the 1934-35 range had that twin brake rod cable thing going on. Ron

Re: Web fork.

Yes, prewar BSA middle weight, used on the upright standing singles 350 and 500, from about 1932 to 36, and I believe the 500 V twin had them also.

The slopers did have the heavyweight one, which is quite much heavier....

Nice... Michiel W

Re: Web fork.

I believe the 500 V twin had them only for 1934, the first year

Re: Web fork.

Michael is correct in stating that only 1934 model J34-11 or War office twins had those forks. Later model had the forks with the hexagon lug for the spark plug.

OK Leon, you have me intrigued here,
Lugs for the spark plug on a fork girder ?

Re: Web fork.

What Leon is refering to, is a 'Hex' hole, usually on the headlamp bracket or somwhere, and some bikes had it on the rear carrier. The old fashioned type plugs could be taken apart for cleaning and you held the plug spanner hex in the hex hole while you undid the other part with a spanner......All good for your paintwork I imagine Ron
