Re: Horn in service brown .

Yes! My problem is solved! I don’t need a second MAF just to have that other color. But there is another problem. The original NOS MAF wheel has a label with a vanished text and O.H.M.S. (On her Majesty’s Service!?). Never seen this kind of labels on spare parts before. What does it mean in this context?

Re: Horn in service brown .

Peter, what you have to do is build a KG3 bike with a few brown parts on..then pull up a chair an listen to people commenting :grinning:

I've seen boxes of post-war repackaged Norton parts which had KG3, SCC Brown and Olive Drab parts in...It must have been the case that wrong-coloured parts ended up vehicles...

The OHMS label was a postage label from the time when Royal Mail was state-owned and provided a decent service...Does it have a destination marked on it ? If not, perhaps it was never sent or was placed in a larger consignment.

Here is Peter's wheel. Of course up to 1952, it could have been "On HIS Majesty's Service" Ron

Re: Horn in service brown .

Thanks Rik and thanks Ron. Again I have learned about some details of my Velocette MAF, but they are important to me. The idea about building a motorcycle in two colours is perhaps a good one. Only problem, I am still looking for a MAF frame. Most other parts are there. And those comments ….. I think there will be some amusement.
