Hi greg in response to some of your points further up I have taken some snaps of the rear clamps on the spring box, black dyno strap and black rear hub. regards john
The black and red rubber covered wire is available through ebay - see screen shot.I, too, am interested in a source of rubber insulated wiring, black of course, as used on post war Vincents.
Simon,The correct carb for Series A Comet is 89/011. I have only ever seen these in brass, along with a pre war brass float bowl. The carb body and float bowl were purchased seperately for my bike, but both have been plated with what I would call a type of satin chrome. I don't know if this is the original finish.
