Introductions / 45 simplex servi cycle
« on: April 30, 2017, 02:06:25 PM »
hello tom here: recently inherited a 1945 simplex with a homemade scooter title from 1957 in iowa in my grandfathers name it was my dads first vehicle he had bad lungs from childhood and this bike was credited for allowing him to survive as he had to push it to get it started helped build his lungs he eventually passed recently of lung failure at the age  of 75. I started this restore before he passed and he was very excited to see it done so now it is a heartfelt obligation to finnish it
   I am in need of engine parts mainly the intake valve will need to recondition the piston wrist pin and new rings it has an all iron head with 2 plugs
