Hello folks...
This is an update on the Old Beast posting,
I've narrowed down the likely identity with as reasonable certainty as possible. I believe it's a Sun of Birmingham probably made in the mid to late 30s. and am having it refurbished accordingly.
Also I've managed to get hold of the correct period type of headset, the clip and bolt top part plus three shims, but no top nut and no bearings.
I reckon I can use a standard top nut but
does anyone know what size bearings I should use?
Looks quite a small gap for them.
Pics to follow of refurb.
