SS100 drawings last update: 6/2005
I beg you pardon - please do not expect me to put my drawings on the internet. There are hundreds of hard working hours in them, so I just cannot afford giving them away (at least not yet).
First I needed some engine drawings. Thanks to a good friend in the
Brough Club I was able to measure up a dismantled 1926 KTOR engine. This is
the crankcase viewed from the drive side. Note the early KTOR style lettering and absence of strengthening webs. |
|
The engine is in remarkably good condition. This is the crankshaft viewed from the timing side. |
|
A timing side view | |
I recorded a lot of measurements, spent a lot of hours at the computer
and finally made a drawing of the crankcase. Sorry again, the enlarged picture will not be of much use to you - please bear with me if I do not feel like giving all this work away for free. |
|
You can, however, download this drawing. It is an original one, and not
that bad. The file is 151kB large. |
|
I also took a lot of measurements of the cylinder heads and made a drawing of these... | |
...as well as the barrels. | |
Another problem is the frame. I understand G.B. updated the design of
this very frequently. I still have no drawing of a 1927 AGS frame. The one on the pic is a replica made to 1925-1926 dimensions. |
|
Same for the forks, except that this is easier. | |
2005: I have now, after a number of travels, and after spending much time in taking measurements off different bikes (thank you for your patience, Peter!), been able to make a complete AutoCAD drawing of the frame...and the forks | |
The whole project will still require a lot of drawings to be made. If you have anything to offer, we may talk a swap..? |
Any kind of feedback to

appreciated
