[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 147871, member: 456"] The two gauges are not standard but lots of us did that years ago. The chromed handlebars are not standard; they would have been painted black originally. The valve lifter lever is not standard but looks to be a brake or clutch lever being used for the same job. Regarding the rev counter and manual magnetos; the reason for this is that the drive for the rev counter is difficult, but not impossible to organise when the standard ATD (automatic timing device) is in place. None of this matters. If the bike runs well and is safe to use then you should get a lot of pleasure out of it. David Bowen was a long standing Vincent man with a remarkable memory. He could tell us details of who was doing what in the Vincent world seventy years ago. He also had lots of contacts in the world of Vincents so he would easily have been able to source some of the bits on that bike. If you can find a few local Vincent owners to have a look at the bike they will give you a lot of information quickly and there are some very knowledgeable Vincent people in Australia. [/QUOTE]
