There is no official workshop manual for the postwar Douglas, but reprints of the handbook that was supplied with new machines are available from the LDMCC. They also stock reprints of the original illustrated spares book.

You can get working instruction for T35 from John Holmes; very helpfull and for free!
In the manual T35 MK1 are also written about working on the bike, also good advise "Spannerama"-Neville Heath (both available from LDMMC).

Join the LDMC, I think he's the membership secretary. Good value at 18 quid P/A & an excellent magazine.

John Holmes is a long time member of the LDMCC who lives in Scotland - he produced a book of hints and tips for owners of postwar machines.

Reg Holmes is the LDMCC membership Secretary, and is on this forum.

I stand corrected Eddie. Good of you to point it out to avoid any confusion.
