Good news. The project has started, in other words I have started spending money!!! Parts that have shown up lately are, A Triumph Cub oil tank complete with a dent or two, a nice set of 5TA cams, a very early 5TA cylinder with a nice standard bore and lifter blocks, and the factory parts and service manuals.
Progress has been made on the tear down of the Triumph engine, its down to bare cases (we wont talk about the condition of some of the internals) with the countershaft and sprocket installed for fit up.
I would like to say thank you to Phil Hyde for supplying the engine plate templates and data package thats is making this project so much easier, thanks to my good friend Jim C. for for locating a Triumph 500 parts cache I am currently negotiating on, and thanks to the GRA and its members, who's posts have allowed me to find the special bits I need like the D&C engine and countershaft trials sprockets.
I will keep this post updated as progress is made and when I find the Anglian tank and seat I will paint myself Moorland blue and dance necked around the campfire.
Best Wishes: Mike
