 Anybody know offhand if our hosts sell an English made drive shaft for a Bullet. Indian aftermarket ones are only good for scrap metal. I can't see one listed in the book

Hello matey---- sorry but must be a loss in translation there--- what would we know a "drive shaft" as ??  Or have you cross-pollenated from the Moto-Guzzi / Beemer forums ??  Is it a gearbox question ???

[Norm]

Alan,


    Maybe I was a bit short on the description, what I need is a decent drive side shaft, got 2 new useless Indian ones here with .4mm runout. Obviously all spares bandied about by ebay sellers are factory rejects or made by some dodgy back yarder

[Midge]

Norm, can you be more precise about what part you want?


I'm with Alan, I've not got a clue about what bits you need.

Hi Norm--- I think you mean the shaft (on the drive or alternator side) that's pressed into the L/H flywheel ??  Maybe the chap who races the Enfield for Hitchcocks might have some contasts ??

Norm,


is this for your Electra/Classic hybrid engine? No Electra parts books on line yet, but I did see part no. 111195 in the on-line parts book for the 4 speed kickstart models if it's the classic Bullet type you're after.  Probably not English made, but I would expect that our hosts are at least selling a genune factory part if it's from India.


They would of course be more than happy to sell you a complete UK made crankshaft assembly, e-mail them and ask if you just want the drive shaft!


Regards,


A.

 Midge, Alan, Adrian, thanks for that You have a timing side shaft and a drive side shaft, it's the drive side shaft that I am after. This motor has a Carillo rod fitted and the wheels are in good condition so all I am looking for is a good quality drive side shaft. If H don't have them available I will have to get one made here. We are sick of fitting Indian junk replacment parts to this motor and having it fail
