1965 BSA Bantam

Do you know,
I might have some information on WIPAC stationary engine magnetos tucked away somewhere ...


But not today!

That one coud be a minefield, there were a lot of subtle variations.

Looking through the WIPAC stuff there is only about five pages on the stationary engine stuff, so if I get a good boring Teams Meeting again tomorrow I'll do them for you.
Do you want any scans of the Bantam Parts Book?

That is the one after I have, so yours is the better one of the two to have.
Mine has a printed date of Nov 1963.

One of the Birmingham BSA Stockists in it is
"Shovelbottom's Ltd., 376 Ladypool Road, Sparkbrook, 12"
You just don't get Dealerships with names like that now!

Problem: Battery goes flat in Town riding due to heavy use of brake light

Solution: Put a dimmer bulb in.


Who says British Engineering wasn't the best in the world...

If it works, it ain't stupid.......
