Please can anyone hear help, i can no longer access my coppermine account ,  it no longer accepts my password my registered email address is now non existent so i cant log in, i cant continue my restoration threads with pictures now
i have tried an internet search and it says log on with user name and use the password admin but that does not work and i get locked out
there must be a way to resolve this issue, i am not that great with computers so it is really frustrating me
thanks in advance pete

Hi all , and a happy new year, i have not posted much on my two restorations for a while but i still have them and am mostly procuring parts ready for the big build up, i might even have one done this year , that is a big might though, if any one has a recessed ignition and the chrome gear box drive cover for sale please contact me

Just blasted my head, i noticed the inside of head has same silver paint as external, could this be for the same reason as the crankcases, ie the possibility of being porous, is it worth painting the inside to seal it up, has anyone else done the same or ever wondered why it was painted

Here goes for another restoration thread, i have another thread going for diecast 9574, which i will carry on with but at an even slower pace than it has been going at, for now the Sandcast takes priority and it will also take some of the diecast parts i had stashed

Here is the bike as i bought it, the head and barrels are off a later bike, there are no brackets or fixings whatsoever, just an incomplete bottom end of engine, frame, swingarm, wrinkle tank, oil tank, wheels, and a couple of beat up guards





As you my well see there is a hell of a lot missing but hey beggars cant be choosers,
The parts i most need are carbs, head and barrels, 9 hole clutch cover, double cut front guard, complete front brake set up

First of all i was itching to get the engine apart, fully expecting to find all sorts of nasty surprises, firstly i removed the studs, never an easy job especially on a 45 year beat up old engine



Then the moment of truth, open up the cases




Well all i can say is thank you god, the inside is in perfect unworn condition, the only mess in there was a small mouse nest, all the bearings were oiled and smooth running, the crank and its shells look as good as a bike thats only done 100 miles 0% wear, all gear cogs intact, and best of all no nasty chain break damage to the casings,
I have to say i have never been so excited about a bike restoration like i am about this one, guys its official i have SANCAST FEVER , and i have got it real bad,
bye for now

Hi all , i keep looking at this bike and it wants me to buy it , however i would like othter opinions as to what people think
at the end of the day, all it is is frame swingarm, sandcast cases and gearbox internals , seat base , and wrinkle tank
, oil tank , wheels , and mudguards
the top end of engine is not sandcast, it is missing the 9 hole cover and a few other engine bits

No doubt most of you have seen this, to me that is an outrageous price i can't believe anyone would pay that price
