Today, we had a visit from Alan and his 1948 Triumph Roadster. The hood is very much in need of some TLC. it really could benefit from a new hood and for the wood and metalwork to be restored whilst the material is off the frame. Lots of holes in the hood mean it is […]

Slight problem with the exhaust. The silencer needs a modification to allow it to pass the rear shock. The mod requires a scallop section to be cut out and a replaced a with a concave plate. It’s the only way to fit the exhaust giving the correct clearance to shock, frame and rear guard.
