These guys have them - dont let the name fool you, they ship from Lyons NY.

Also, quite a few of the sources in England will ship here too.

Thanks Chris, I actually was looking at that website to figure out what screws I had in my hand, but thought it was in Britain.

They are only one county away from me - wish they had a store, looks like a fun place to browse!

Thanks for posting the link Chris - great to know about for BA fasteners, but was delighted to see they are a great resource for my upcoming British motorcycle restoration project.

Looks like that is what they specialize in. We want pictures of your project!

Hi all...so did the US make and use stuff  using BA threads  ?? or did they always use

 the UNF number system under 1/4 " ??

I don't think we ever used BA over here, though maybe in very early years? Mostly UNC/UNF. More recently metric sizes, but not as much as in other parts of the world.

I shall certainly provide those!

Got a ways to go though. I did recently acquire a new crankshaft for it - after a 9 year wait.

Nice crank.
I recognize it as an AMC 650 twin, non- alternator. A friend has just mashed up a bigend on his 500 AJS twin. I will try to foward him the picture.

That's what it is alright. I have a 1960 G12DL. This is one of the newly manufactured crankshafts that the owners club had made - it was a looooooooooong drawn out affair, with a history of bad suppliers by the sounds of it. But kudos to the club management - they stuck with it and we got our crankshafts. Now I am ditching all my other motorcycle projects, so that I can focus on this one. Even then I don't expect to start in earnest until next year, while I get things out of the way.

And also finish my PMR #1 engine, which has been a long affair all on its own.
