BSA Parts Catalogues |
(Absolutely essential. Most suppliers order by factory parts number. Parts catalogues available from British Motorcycle Spares NZ ) |
| If you are contemplating a restoration you will definitely need to buy or borrow some of the books above. Owen Wright's BSA Bantam is invaluable. You will probably need the Haynes manual as it gives some good general coverage of many models. Roy Bacon's BSA Singles Restoration is probably my most "thumbed" book. Difficult to find but worth the hunt. Finally, you absolutely cannot do the job without the parts catalogue. They are available from many places, British Spares being just one. | |
