G'day all.
I am in need of a couple of swingarms for my ABC's.
I have enough to build 3 bikes up if I can locate a couple of swingarms.
Everything has been taken away by a good friend who is a fantastic Toolmaker, he is restoring them.
If you have a spare swingarm please get in contact with me via email at
flattank@bigpond.com
Many thanks.
Howard.

Howie, in the event of your not being offered two rear swingarms, all is not lost.
This component seems to be largely fabricated up from pieces of pipe and plate, mostly by welding. Scarcely a forging in sight.
I think that Sifbronzing would be easier than welding, and should be well within the capabilities of your fantastic toolmaker friend. And evidently you have a swingarm as model.
There you are: no problem!

G'day Paul...yes we had discussed the making of the swingarms and he said dont worry about finding any he would make them. I was just trying to make less work of it.
Here is a photo of a 1907 B&B carburettor he made for another friend who needed such a carry...lovely job.
