brought back by Richard miller 20 years ago .
the original exhaust has many repairs & I like it 🙂
excellent tinware  and totally mechanically worn out !
original levers and bars , sp[eedo and Lucas du42.
engine fins in lovely condition -no damage on outside , all problems internally !
had mains ,rebore to +40, complete top end parts and cams .
this 44 contract S5430 was fitted with the cut off tanks to take the tank top vokes system. Â the alloy elbow is very different to the BSA type. clips are ww2 jubilee clips by Terry.
small gear-lever with spoon shape foot pad .
both magneto and dynamo are correct and both ww2 dated and rebuilt.
the gearbox was trashed and needed a full rebuild using a good used cluster from triumph specialist Dave wright on isle of white .
all bushes were worn out and teeth had lost all hardening with many cracked or broken . Â now all good .
the rear wheel was rebuilt by Jake robbins engineering as it had done a lot of miles with collapsed taper rollers which got the hub so hot it discoloured the cups!
it resulted in it welding itself and ate 1/2 way through the rear wheel spindle , so Jake made me one and we got new taper rollers , repaired hub and all now good.
the rear convoy lamp was not correct but it is now . the contract plate is on mudguard tail piece. Â all tinware is genuine and not needed much repair.
primary case is tin , skinny footrests mean be careful when wet ! Â original field stand and battery case parts where on the bike .
the engine is a ww2 replacement without any prefix , just a number .
this amazing original rear saddle has the hump /stop at front of it . its named , drivers sale original as are springs which I may replace as they dont spring as well as my back if potholes hit .
speedo is genuine to bike  as is Lucas du42 .  I put in a cz27 1944 dated ammeter as original was a post war item from the 50’s.
I have had this vokes box under my bed for about 25 years  and finally used it .
its not restored and colour is close match.
it has good felts in it which I washed in washing machine twice , being felt they need stretching whilst drying.
the S was on it . the label is original to box.
nice to see the cad finish on the petrol and oil caps , unique to triumph ww2 as both threaded .
front wheel was cleaned out and in fair condition  just needing. shoes re pinned by villiers services .
a very small profile bike , I may put a blackout on her after Arnhem. everything you see is ww2 triumph . thats why I am keeping her .
