recent purchase
Bought this 3TA at the weekend.
I overpaid but that's red wine and ebay for you!
Non matching but same year (60)
I do have the mudguards, stays and a rusty chrome headlamp.
The rear guard is utilitarian and probably the original inner from the bathtub. Plus a seat base
He claims to have had it running and has fitted new shocks and sorted the front forks - although there are issues due to fitting the nacelle type stanchions with the filler hole that I can't find a screw for.
There's also a spare set of cases, a barrel and head. Dubious gearbox spares and a crank. yet to be fitted modern combined regulator/zenner thingie and new primary chain, clutch plates and odds and sods.
I'm in no rush to get it fixed up and it won't be back to standard anyway. Eventually I'll fit a small headlight and seat with maybe alli mudguards.
The solo saddle is from a Tiger Cub project that I placed on the bike to see what it looked like.
I may either get it running, then strip it down or just dive in, but that's a recipe for a project to sit in boxes for years
It had a pipe fitting fitted to the primary oil filler for some reason, don't know why, so I temporarily pinched the clutch adjusting cover to bung the hole. I can pick up a replacement at kempton this coming weekend.
