I just got in my copy of Mike Brown's new book, "Building Budget Brits". This book was written for us! Fabulous book. It covers every detail of restoring Triumphs/BSA's, including teardown, frame and bodywork, wheels, electrical, and complete engine coverage, including all aspects of the engine rebuild. Plenty of detailed photos. I love reading his column in Walneck's every month. For anyone doing their own restoration, this book is perfect. I bought it through Amazon, but I think he also sells direct (check out Walneck's).

With this book, plus the 4Aces and Hancock's DVD's, I feel way more confident on tackling my 70 Bonnie restoration project.

I know where you live....

Upstate,

Thanks for the review. Just ordered the book on-line. Looking forward to getting into it.

And if it sucks, don't forget that a few weeks back you told me where you live. ;-).
regards,
Rob

the 4Aces and Hancock's DVD's

Tell me more about the "4Aces and Hancock's DVD's".

I've tried to search for them and, as one would imagine, I keep getting Will Smith's movie "Hancock".

Thanks!

Jake

Links to Engine Rebuild DVD's

Jake,

Here are the links to the Hancox and 4Aces Triumph engine rebuild DVD:

http://hughiehancoxrestorations.co.uk/

Price 36 BP


http://fouracescycle.com/

Price $40 US

Both are good. The Hancox one is excellent. The 4Aces ones whizzes through a bit, and gives a little different perspective. Together, they cover most everything.

Mike's book is available through Whitehorse Press, or of course Amazon and others.

Price $25 US

Now, if only I can quit reading and watching DVD's, and get the engine up on the stand to start work. I know, I'll order a motivational video next!

Thanks to all!

I had been to the Four Aces web page before but never to the bottom of the merchandise page to find the vid.

Thanks again.

Just got my copy of "Building Budget Brits". I haven't had it long enough to post an opinion. Has anyone seen this service CD?

I did a thread on Mike's book a couple of weeks ago....Compared to a few others i've read, i found it very informative, and benificial for anyone doing their first rebuild....A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Buckeye, I hadn't seen that CD, looks to be an excellent price.

I have the 2-disc CD set from Kim the CD Man that is the most comprehensive set available.
