Competition / Re: Points in case B40 BSA for Pre65

« on: April 28, 2019, 05:24:31 pm »

The fact is that the MOD took so long to approve the contract for the B40 that BSA no longer made distributor crankcases. so BSA said we'll give you the b44 MOD said no must be a 350 so they gave them a b44 bottom end with 350 barrel  and head so it is not a follow on model. With that said I wish it was as I have a rough rider in the shed that would love to be an MX'er.

The side points B40 has been knocked back before on the grounds that the engine was not manufactured in 1964, the B44 GP suffers the same fate even thou it was on display at the Earls Court show in 64. Who's to know how the winds of thought may have changed so best of luck in your quest.

Faber frames do a copy of the clews stroker 73 frame otherwise known as a BSA works frame, much lighter then the standard B50 frame witch is made from plumbers water pipe. Joe Maxwell has reproduction 74 CCM frames both are very nice great workmanship, but are only the start of the money trail of building a pre 75 four stroke racer.

Dont know about the answer to Q1
Q2 yes the B50 case will fit a B44.
Q3 the kick start ratchet on a B50 is the opposite way round to a b44 but I dont know if this effects the fit
Hope this helps Rory
