Latest Car Extreme

Over the years I've collected lots of Velocette data, some from the usual sources such as Bob Burgess's red book on Velocette ( more on this in a later book review blog ), others from proprietary suppliers catalogues, lots of which I photocopied and pasted onto cardboard pages, making up a folder and from there I further photocopied into files to share with others... so I'm going to run a series from them, not in any particular order and this first lot are from the control lever people Doherty, the grease nipple and grease gun people Tecalamit and the tyre pump people Apex Inflaters....

An interesting point about control levers is that the pivot point to the centre of the cable nipple was made in several sizes..7/8"(0.875"), 1 and 1/16"(1.0625") etc.

Velocette use 7/8" on the front brake lever, but 1 and 1/16" on the clutch.

You can get 7/8" clutch lever centre to centre dimensioned levers and this has caused many a headache for Velocette people whose clutch appears to not fully release....
