BSA Bastard stops again their logo should have been 3 rifles in a jumbled heap instead of leaning together. We must agree to differ here,BSA made some excellent guns and rifles. I have an BSA .22,which first class. |

| 814791 | 2009-09-30 05:04:00 | Their rifles were good my Dad has a BSA .303 it still shoots straight as a die. I meant the bikes but what let down was their lockheed brakes, AMC gearboxes, Lucas electrics, amal carb and Smiths instruments. |

| 814794 | 2009-09-30 06:12:00 | What BSA had that combination? I dont know if one model had all the listed suppliers I forgot girling. I was a Norton man but I had friends with BSAs they used to borrow my trailer to bring them back home. |

| 814795 | 2009-09-30 08:04:00 | It was Norton that bought out and used AMC gearboxes. Any bike of that vintage that didn't spend time on the trailer wasn't being ridden very far. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 814796 | 2009-09-30 08:57:00 | Terry Porritt! All the Lucas branded 7in sealed beam units I saw whilst at Lucas were made in Canada. That's interesting. Let me make it clear, I was never employed by Joe Lucas Electrical Ltd, I worked for the Gas Turbine Equipment company (GTE) and later Joe Lucas Group Research, which was where I was involved in the Electrical activities to an extent mainly quality control, I left there in 1963 so don't know much about what happened later on. Lucas used to have a GTE factory in Canada, so did Rotax, a part of Lucas, maybe the auto Electrical people did too. R2D2: No one else made a speedo like this, Smiths of course: www.imagef1.net.nz a 150 mph speedo, beautiful. Gearboxes: Burmans used to make gearboxes that were used on many bikes. They also made hair clippers ! Carbs: nothing wrong with Amals, their GPs were really good, had those on the Vin. Lockheed brakes??: Only had drum brakes in my day. Twin front brakes on the Vin. Stop in 22 feet from 30mph. Amals again. had them freeze solid, wide open, one morning clocking up about 110mph and getting near to the end of the Meriden bypass where there was a traffic island. Had to wrench the plug leads off. |
