A10 survivor

You will find some issues with cyls for those. I am looking for some as well. There is 2 types. Thin flange and thick, The Thin ones turn up and in a low compression, low power application they work okay, but risky to buy over the internet as they typically crack right above the flange, and once you overbore you never know what you might find. (Casting voids, dirt, dross, or cracks)

Thick flange cyls command top dollar generally. Somebody was being clever with the pistons,, cutting them down. I have some slipper pistons (Forged) for a Triumph, but someone was doing some mods on yours. Not a great idea on a cast piston.

First year swinging arm a10 survivor I’m going to try and keep as original to this as possible pretty excited about this one

If you ever need pistons for your A10, we can help you with that!

Best of luck with your rebuild.

Looks like you have the lower compression ones, be nice if you stocked the higher comps. I will tell you,, sourcing pistons for early unit Triumph 500 twins is challenging as well. These are a hemi chamber, and harder to get piston kits than the later Daytona types. But nice to see someone catering to the older machines. Welcome!

Welcome and do post some content related to your pistons with lots of photographs. More tech info for us and more exposure for you so everyone wins.

Vintage engine build threads etc always welcome too. The vintage Britbike hobby will have a new generation soon and the more tech info out there to encourage them the better.

What do you offer for Norton Commando and Atlas?

Progress

I’ve done a poor job of keeping up on this project updates but I’ve ground and DynamicLy balanced the crank. Full valve job. And all new bearings. I laced up a 16 inch rear rim and got almost everything powder coated.

Bike looks awesome!

I'm in the early stages of a similar build.


Couple questions:

What size rear shocks are those?

How high are the bars?

Where did you find spoke to lace up the 16'' rim to the A10 rear hub?


Thanks!

The rear shocks are just some cheap 10” eBay shadow shocks
The spokes came from Buchanan spokes kbsa201sz Is the kit for HD rim
I’ll measure the bars when I get out to the shop

Great thanks man. What tire are you running? 16'' HD rim?

Man, I cant agree enough. Keep it clean when building. Fake patina, another subject, I'm not a fan of, especially the, "Get my bare sheet metal wet, then let it rust, then clear over it" patina
