1969 Triumph T120R Bonneville.On stripping this late model british classic we found that the chassis was going to be fairly straight forward as it was a relatively low mileage model due to it’s re-import back from the U.S. Unfortunately the engine was not quite the same case.
The pistons had seizure marks, probably due to the aftermarket carbs not correctly set up. Also the valve guides had become loose allowing the valves to wear the cylinder

head which had to be sent to a specialist engineering company to be welded and machined. The bottom end measured up well and was freshened up with new shells and bearings etc. Some nos pistons were sourced and the engine is now pretty much complete. The chassis is coming together nicely so keep you eyes on this website to see how it looks on completion in the late spring!

Kawasaki Mach 3. This classic Kawasaki the engine was stripped and the tolerances were measured and found to be well within limits at least on the bottom end, but the pistons had suffered signs of seizure so a re-bore was needed. The crank cases were blasted and outer covers polished. With a set of pistons and rings, gaskets, bearings and seals the engine was rebuilt. All the original exhausts,

panels and fasteners etc were chromed, painted or plated, and with majority of consumable items still available from Kawasaki and the U.S specialists, we have done our utmost to keep it as close to original as possible. With the original blue colour scheme I’m sure you’ll agree it will look stunning!
