Ariel Huntmaster rebuild update, over the past couple of weeks I have managed to track down a few parts I have been chasing, had to return parts I was not happy with and had the dynamo fully rebuilt with a full 12v conversion, oh yes and I have fully refurbished the Amal Monobloc carburettor. (thanks to Amal UK for a great service) After a very frustrating few weeks dealing with people that are apparently happy to sell and use parts that are obviously not fit for purpose, (no name's mentioned) I am finally getting somewhere again. I am not willing to use ill fitting tat on my builds. Rant over so let's proceed.
Amal Monobloc
This old Monobloc was in a terrible state so I have totally stripped it down vapour blasted and ultrasonically cleaned it I have also replaced all the necessary parts with new genuine one's from Amal UK.
All new controls including; grips, levers, air lever and switches.
Brand new rear drive chain is now fitted and I will be fitting a new chain guard too. I will need to do some work on that rear chain guard mounting though, I don't want it fouling the chain.
I have also sourced a front mudguard stay and had it powder coated to match the rack supports, look's great if I do say so myself.
I am still waiting for a couple of small parts for the primary so will update you on that next week with a bit of luck and I might even have the paintwork back too. Stay Tuned.
