I am a new member of the GRA. I live in Chichester West Sussex and have a few other bikes, A Golden Jublilee Bonneville, a 1960 Triumph T100A and an old BMW. I was fortunate enough to find a 1961 Greeves Sportster at the back of a garage after the owner died. I bought it as a semi derelict and I have been able to rebuild it so far, through the lockdown, but I'm a bit stuck now. I don't seem able to find two Exhaust nuts (Greeves Services won't sell me them) and I am confused about the spacers that I believe should be on the front engine mounts to the frame. I will sort the engine mounting problem from factory drawings but does anyone know where I can obtain two exhaust nuts.

Thanks for your help. I made an offer on the two nuts on e bay but for some reason they were withdrawn. Villiers services have the nuts but they won't sell them to me. They have a limited stock and reserving them for people who have an engine rebuild. I obviously didn't spend enough money. Frame 61/2948 Engine 221D9224.

Many thanks Andy for frame/eng No, it was on list you had given it me previous on FB, . Re the nuts you could ask on the Francis Barnett club forum https://fboc.forumotion.com/ (no need to join club), just register with a name and password) nice bunce of lads on there and also John Harding he sells parts including Villiers parts. FB fitted the 2T engine to the Cruiser.
