Have 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.

Regarding brakes
      About 40 years ago Frank Dolman sent me this letter (3 pages) on how to improve braking on the T6 that I had at the time.
    No doubt then, BSA brakes were easier to find than now.

General Douglas Discussion / Big auction of Douglas stuff
Last post by graeme - 28 Jan 2025 at 08:57
Hi folks

There is an auction coming up soon, which includes a huge amount of Douglas stuff. In the catalogue clearly some of the items are mislabelled, but there is a hell of a lot of good stuff amongst it.

Cheers, Graeme

Last post by graeme - 28 Jan 2025 at 08:53
Hi Tony

I made a petrol tank for my Fairy just like this, and am happy to help out with details. You are right with your summation about the oil compartment.
Incidentally, the Fairy that actually went into production didn't have a tank this shape, but flat sided with the battery and trembler coil also contained in the tank.

Cheers, Graeme
