[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 56877, member: 456"] Come on now, who has been saying that I am not young, resilient and fast healing? EEEEKKKK!!!! Seriously, the chap who did this, Barry Chambers from Dewsbury, had a 'D' sidecar outfit and it was his way of altering the trail. I would not expect to make any large changes but small ones might be interesting. Barry had also made a twin leading shoe front brake. The story behind all of this is that many years ago Barry advertised a complete enclosed 'D' less engine and gearbox unit. I bought the whole lot from him and kept the parts in store for years. Some of the bits were 'well used'. Many years later and totally out of the blue Barry phoned up to see if he could buy them back as he had decided to rebuild the whole bike. I still wanted a set of spares in case of some serious accident so a deal was struck wherein Barry and his son acquired replacement bits and pieces from all over the world to exchange for their originals and they got their matching number parts back. No money changed hands and we were all happy. I have checked in the Admin List and there is no 'Chamber' in there so I guess that Barry and his son are either no longer around or no longer into Vincents. [/QUOTE]
