Triumph engine
« on: April 20, 2013, 09:30:16 am »
I am on the look out for a Triumph pre unit 500 engine if anyone can point me in the right direction. Not something I'm familiar with so any help appreciated. Can be good condition or basket case.
Cheers,
K

Bit like Nortons unfortunately, getting harder and harder to find, even OS.

I have had a few motorcycle engine discarded at the "tip" I run, but no Triumph 500's yet. (yes I have had a 250 C11? something or other and a T150 triple bottom end dropped off..) Tim754

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Cheers guys. As I said I know next to zero about them but have been asked to keep a lookout for one by a close friend. Much appreciated.

Thanks Paul but it has to be a 500. The bigger ones are quite easy to find, the 500 not so much.
Cheers,
