you asked for photos of my rocker box bushes. Here are some of them seen from the inner and outer sides. I also attach a sketch from Chris Odling.

Cheers, Thomas

Thank you Thomas

It has been partialy restored, the transfer and the lining are orginal.

Thanks, Dani! And your tank has never been repaired, I suppose?

Hi Thomas
On my M9 the logo has a slightly different colour than the lining. I therefor suspect, the complete logo is a transfer sticker.

Regards
Dani

Hi all! Does anyone know if the logo on the tank was always a transfer or if it was hand painted in gold in the works like the lining?
Cheers, Thomas

Smart 

The sprocket on my crankshaft was starting to get sharp teeth and a replacement was needed. This is a problem with the cush drive because its connection side has a special shape for shock absorption that is difficult to reproduce. And replacements are hard to get. On the other hand, normal hardened sprockets of various sizes are readily available on the market. Instead of replacing the entire unit, I had the original sprocket separated from its cush drive unit and had the latter welded to the new sprocket. This was inexpensive and has worked without any problems ever since.

I'm just curious to know how many have actually survived.....according to the Clubs matrix there are 30 1927 model 9 Sunbeams on the register I understand that these are only the club registered ones but how many were actually made and how many are left including ones not registered anyone got an educated guess

well bit of a damp squib to start with hardly any Sunbeams I have to say considering it was supposed to be the Sunbeam centenary? I guess a combination of the M25 being shut and the miserable weather kept most away still always nice to see the old vintage stuff getting a run out
