Definitely no exhaust lifter ! You should put the kill switch by your left thumb. I found that out the hard way at Mallory Park, when the throttle slide on my...
I think that the set up you have with the kill button on the end of your magneto is correct. My 48 rigid twin has this set up. So if you want originality over...

Glenn I have good photos of a 68 set up but I'm not sure if 66 is the same. The coil bracket and set up was the hardest to get accurate when I restored my 68...
It looks to me like the coils are supported vertically between the air filters on the Lightning. Is that the same as yours? Please email the pics to me. I will...
the two coils lean slightly back on mine, mounted so as not to contact the engine case, which would vibrate them too much. Also, if the coils are original,...
That makes sense. I will use new coils but still need to know how they are assembled with the other parts I mentioned. Hopefully the pics will explian it. ...
If pictures of a 68 do not help, I have a 66 Spitfire MKII and can take some pictures of the coil mounts if it is the same as a Lightening. John Mead...
I wonder what the collective wisdom on stainless steel parts is? To be precise, I have an OIF A65, but the swingarm pivot is nonstandard. I bought UNF nuts as...

Money does not talk. It screams very loudly. A goodly number of traders of my acquaintance have just upped sticks from the cities and rolled off out into the...
In 1972 I was in university in Brussels, Belgium and happened on a very tired and worn-out Œ54 Triumph 6T. From the livery and the 16 tooth engine sprocket I...
Hi All, I have recently inherited a 1969 Lightening and as i'm only 16 i'm not old enough to ride it yet! I managed to get it started yesterday - it just...
Keep the paint & chrome waxed. Lubricate the cables. Remove the plugs and put a small amount of oil in the cylinders. Crank the engine over a few times,...
66 & 68 use totally different coil mountings. I will try to explain it, but at best, the mounting looks like an afterthought on that vintage A65. At least the...

Yes, it does sound a bit odd. On the horizontal coil, is the HT connection end facing inwards? If it is ok with you, could you give me your email address so I...
