[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 85861, member: 597"] Its just a numbers game, Like the Ford Mustang is the most restored car in the world, and so parts are plentiful. I agree that some parts could be made more available for the series "A" s but the numbers don't add up. Rodney Brown over here has been making parts for the A's for several years but the parts end up quite expensive due to small batch numbers, and buyers are thin on the ground. I guess it comes down to the individual people who restore these bikes being able to produce a few extra's or spares and selling them on to others who need them, just like I am trying to do. The largest hurdle is finding companies who will actually make/produce the parts for you........Do a good job, and not take forever to get it done. It is also very difficult to get accurate info on items, and I think this is for several reasons not least because there were regular changes to the machines themselves, but communicating with others who have done it before. Imagine not having this forum to share info.......It would be very difficult........But with it, I am able to restore this Comet quite quickly. [/QUOTE]
