Re: Another Project Perhaps WELBIKE
Looks like a great project, Years ago I had a simplex service cycle, I did not know the Army use them in ww2, I seen one at Fort Campbell setting by a glider.It looked just like the one I had. I,m working on a m2 high speed tractor now.
I have got four running halftracks,plus 5 ton ww2 semi-truck,1943 willys jeep and other ww2 vehicles,plus a lot of parts to trade on. Wendell in Tn.

Thanks for the encouragement. Are you talking about one of these? I had to look it up as I had not heard of it either.

Re: Another Project Perhaps WELBIKE
That Simplex in that pictures is not military at all!! well maybe postwar, (they were used by the Airforce postwar, and a civvy model tested by the canadians during the war) but the wartime ones were much different, there are only 2 known in the world, and I have one of them.... one day I will restore it.
Re. the Welbike Carb, the part # is V576E (E for Excelsior, and that means it's not standard) the body on itself has part # C1 not that it will do you any good, as these numbers are not stamped in the parts.
Hope it helps somehow!

Re: Another Project Perhaps WELBIKE
It looks like you only collect items of which one was made. Must be hard to find parts, but I know with time and persistence, anything can be found or made.

Hi OZ,
Nice looking bike you have, looks to be an original and not a made up one.

Re: Another Project Perhaps WELBIKE
Wendell, I don't have any pictures in the PC, will try to make some next week, but it's a pile of parts at the moment!
Rory, Oz's Welbike is certainly original, there are so many differences with replica's it's easy to recognize them!
Grtz,
Lex
