1949 BSA Bantam Restoration

RESTORATION 1949 D1 - PART 1


	APRIL 1999 As found. 1949 Engine and frame.Probably incorrect rear guard. No toolbox. Very bad condition. Don't know if engine turns over.

	THE ENGINE! A curious hybrid of the old 125cc head and possibly a wide-fin D1 barrel of later vintage. An original barrel came with the bike but will need some work.

	THE SPARKY SIDE Original D1 electrics. Modification (the screw-top petrol can cover) is non-standard! The alloy clip fastened cover may be difficult to find as they had a tendency to fall off.
