Hi Marcus,

I don't have an original 2 speed tram handle, but I do have a 3 speed one and the end pieces between the flat spring appear to be cast steel and a taper pin is used to secure it to the shaft. 

Hope this helps,

Cheers

Rare item.
Does any member have a Hand Starting Handle for a S6 or T6 that I can buy, or do a swop for?
 The Douglas part no is CA/11685.
Thanks Alan.

This gearbox has been sold.
Regards Alan.

Are any of these engines  for sale?

Amongst a load of parts I recently acquired there is a tram handle, there were 2 things that I didnt realise before.
1. The handle is cast steel because the repro ones seem to be brass
2. It is secured to the shaft with a taper pin which I had never noticed before, is that correct ?


Many Thanks
Marcus

Thanks for that information. The cylinder bore is 60mm so I'm assuming it's a 350cc engine. Plus it goes very well so I think it must be?

They look like 350cc (or 250cc) 1936-37 Aero heads and barrels. The 1934 model Y (250cc) was the first lightweight with flanged exhaust ports, then it and the 350cc in 1935. But according to the catalog illustration, those had a pronounced crowned (convex) shape to the cylinder head fins. The Aeros were nearly flat, and surplus 250-350cc Aero engines are I think more plentiful. I have two 1935 250cc engines and their heads are much like the Aero models, despite the catalog illustration.

Is the gearbox still available please? And where abouts are you for collection?

My A31 engine has, apparently, been fitted with later barrels and heads. Can anyone identify which model engine they come from please?
Could they be from a B31?
This engine was said to be rebuilt by Henry Body about 25 years ago.
