2024-06-11, 21:02:05Have you tried the new Drafts feature yet? I just lost a long message today and learned my lesson. It is a good idea to save a draft of any long post you are writing. You can then just keep writing and keep saving a draft, knowing you have a backup if there is a glitch. The draft is automatically deleted when you post the message.

General Douglas Discussion / Re: Douglas Bantam tail pipe
Last post by douglas1947 - 07 Jan 2025 at 08:30Hi Tony,
I´m happy to help you with my informations.
The side wall bores are also 3mm diameter on my tail piece.
I have no knowledge about the specification of the Bantam types.
So I think your drawing measures should be right.

General Douglas Discussion / Re: Douglas Bantam tail pipe
Last post by TonyC - 06 Jan 2025 at 18:17That's a great help Michael.
Just checked the sizes on the drawing i made and it is 145 mm high at the tail and 125 mm long,but the diameter of the pipe is 25 mm or 1 inch, yours is 32 mm or 1 1/4 so I am wondering if yours is off of a 1934 / 1935 model which had the Douglas engine and probably more power than the Villiers engine in mine!
So I think I will keep the sizes as they are as they are in proportion with the smaller diameter pipe.
I have made the holes in the side wall at 3 mm. Is this similar to yours?
Once again, thanks for your help
Tony

I had good luck having the journals on the crankshaft laser welded (cold weld, not heating the metal) and then machined.
The difficult is to find a repairer.
Mine has the parts for years ....

Last post by TonyC - 06 Jan 2025 at 09:02Hi Michael,
That's good to find proof, it does make sense not to blow exhaust gas onto the back wheel!
A photo would be great and if you can take some overall measurements that would be even better as I have scaled the fin from the photo, which is not the most accurate way.
Thanks again
Tony

Last post by douglas1947 - 06 Jan 2025 at 08:55Hi Tony,
several years ago I bought a 1930 Douglas H3 in bits and pieces with an "exploded" engine, several bits missing. So there was also no silencer for the bike (I'm still looking for a good one).
But in that convolut there was also a single fishtail for a Douglas Bantam. It´s a left side tail and there are NO HOLES on the inside of the tail.
If you like a photo, please let me know.
