BSA A10 Update so far

[@beemergb]

Hope you finish off the bush to bearing project ! Good luck 🙂

[@AGEngineering]

I'm back on it for a bit so at least it's going in the right direction, thanks for watching

[@fredblogsmac.5697]

Wow great vid Ade, reminds me of so many sheds arguing with mates how to rebuild engines, I wish you were there all those years ago

[@AGEngineering]

Great to stir memories 👍🏼

[@christopherhodge7808]

As usual, great content Ade, good to have you back on a regular basis.

[@AGEngineering]

Many thanks for continuing to support and follow

Ade, the BSA A10 rebuild brought me to your channel, but I do like all of your great content. I have a BSA A10 engine that I am rebuilding and it will go into a 1957 Fairthorpe Atomota. I am also "engineering" the mating of the BSA engine to a Standard Ten gearbox.

[@AGEngineering]

So you've set me off researching the Fairthorpe Atomota, I'd never heard of one, most interesting, it would be great if you would post a video of some of your work? Thanks for watching and commenting and showing another use of BSA engines which would be lost in history, brilliant 👍🏼. Where about are you based?

[@fairthorpefanatik1700]

@@AGEngineering I am in Southern California. I will see what I can do about posting a video as I do have a GoPro. To my knowledge, my Atomota is the only one left in the world.

Great video Ade, I enjoyed watching. I'm glad the BSA project is moving forward, it will be interesting to see you tackle the 'elephant' that is the cracked spigot! Best wishes, Dean.

[@AGEngineering]

The spigot will be interesting to say the least, I've got my fingers crossed

[@retromechanicalengineer]

@@AGEngineering I'm sure you will sort it Ade. The fins keep giving me funny looks every time I walk past them. They are trying to intimidate me.

[@kukipett]

Maybe you could bore it and install a liner

[@AGEngineering]

I liked Helsinki 😉

[@retromechanicalengineer]

@@AGEngineeringtoo cold to weld up those particular Finns!

[@MrLukealbanese]

Yaaaay, the A10 returns!! Nice one Ade.

[@AGEngineering]

I'm slowly slowly going in the right direction..

[@geoffgreenhalgh3553]

Great work. Hope to see you at Capesthorne on Sunday.

[@AGEngineering]

Fantastic news, be great to meet you Geoff

[@carlwilson1772]

That was really great Ade. I was in Dean's (Retromeccanica's) workshop at the weekend. We had a great time, and we discussed how best to repair his particular elephant. I am looking forward to you brazing up the spigot. Truly impressive and inspiring work, loved the repair of the cam folowers too, and subsequent testing.

[@AGEngineering]

Looking like barrel spigot will be next on the agenda 😁

[@carlwilson1772]

@@AGEngineering Great stuff, look forward to it.

[@MrFactotum]

Hi ade i just dropped on to you from Dean at retromeccanica, i have sub'd you etc, and will take a look at what you get up to. this video takes me back to a few of my bsa rebuilds super rocket, shooting star etc. I fell in to youtube by accident when i rewound my lucas magneto on my Myford lathe, the video quality of my early days is ropey as it was never intended to be seen, just did it to show a friend. i will work my way through your video's as time permits Ade. cheers Kev

[@AGEngineering]

kev great to have you aboard, likewise subbed and I will take a look at your videos.

[@MrFactotum]

@@AGEngineering Thanks Ade it's appreciated, that's what it's all about, swapping ideas around to help each other thanks again Kev

[@bsa_brummie7775]

Thanks for posting another informative video 👍

[@AGEngineering]

Many thanks for watching and commenting

[@TheElderlyBiker]

How do you plan on repairing the spigot? Thanks for the vids - very interesting.

[@AGEngineering]

I have a plan, not sure if it will work so fingers crossed 🤞🏻

[@gordonbrown7063]

Hi Ade, great channel. Did those big end journals get raised as per the BSA service sheet?

[@AGEngineering]

Great question, I'll cover a bit on radiuses when we get to build the crank up👍🏼

[@1crazypj]

I was wondering that as well. I have the 1950~52 manual somewhere safe with various service data plus service data for various other early 50's BSA models

[@tonyshortland8812]

Hi there Ade, new subscriber here, .. freind of mine near Chester, has an 850 Norton commando. Needs a rebore, but it's already @ maximum +0.60" oversize. Can anything be done? Thank you. Tony

[@AGEngineering]

Plus 80 were available, I don't know if they still are?

@@AGEngineering thanks Ade, only stateside I think, can they be sorted or plated? (Cast iron)
