  6. 16 year old came to the shop with a BSA C11G (it was in 1961) which wa
    doing strange things.

    Those conversant with the thing will know that the rear subframe was
    attached to the front behind the tank, with one bolt, and behid the
    'saddle tube' with another.

    The top 'bolt' was a loop of fencing wire and the bottom bolt had no nut
    on it.

    If it took more passengers he might have sold it to London Transport as
    a bendy.

  9. Are you referring to the steering[1] or is that a specific model?

    For the era, the OEC Commander looks OK.


    [1] Another of my brilliant ideas that someone already invented. And was
    then found wanting.

    They were brilliant[1] - a schoolmate had one.

    We were going to put a GT250 motor in it.

    Except we didn't have the faintest idea how to do this.

    GL1800, just to test your wall fixings.

  16. I think that would test the /wall/, never mind the fixings.
