Ford Coyote Engines - REV Ed
Realize your Ford Coyote engine's full potential by using this detailed resource as a guide to select the right parts for the street or the strip.Veteran Ford writer and historian Jim Smart highlights all of the latest and greatest options to achieve more horsepower and torque, and of course, faster quarter-mile times in Ford Coyote Engines: How to Build Max Performance-Revised Edition. In this Revised Edition, now covering Generation III engines as well as Generation I & II, upgrades included are engine building techniques, cold-air induction kits, supercharger and pulley kits, better exhaust headers, fuel system and ECU tuning upgrades, and more. Both Ford and the aftermarket have produced an array of parts to squeeze even more power out of your Coyote. Ford introduced its first "clean slate design" V-8 engines in the early 1990s in Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models. Known as the "Modular" engine family, the 4.6L engines employed new overhead cams, multi-valve performance, distributorless ignition, and more. This engine had new technology for its time, and it proved to be an extremely durable workhorse that logged hundreds of thousands of miles in police and taxi applications as well as light-duty trucks. And, of course, hotter versions, and even supercharged versions, found their way into performance applications such as Mustang GTs and Cobras.By 2011, Ford wanted something hotter and more current, especially for its flagship Mustang GT and GT350 models, which were suddenly competing with new 6.2L LS3 engines in Camaros and 6.4L Hemi engines in Challengers. Enter Ford's new 5.0L "Coyote" engine with Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (Ti-VCT); it was an evolution of the earlier 4.6L and 5.4L Modular designs. Although the new Coyote engine had increased displacement, it still had far fewer cubes than the competition. Despite less displacement, the Coyote could hold its own against bigger Chevy and Chrysler mills thanks to advanced technology, such as 4V heads with better port and valvetrain geometry. The Coyote is also Ford's first foray into technology that includes Ti-VCT and cam-torque-actuated (CTA) function, which is a fancy way of saying variable cam timing for an incredible power curve over a broader RPM range. Now, in Generation III, Ford has implement a system using both Port and Direct Fuel Injection, taking advantage of the benefits of both systems in a single application. Even with all of this new technology, there is always room for improvement. If you are looking for even more power from your new Coyote, look no further than this volume.

ROYAL ENFIELD 750cc INTERCEPTOR 1962 to 1970 WORKSHOP MANUALS & PARTS MANUALS COMPILATION - ALL MODELS
296 pages and more than 200 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This Workshop Manual is possibly the most comprehensive publication ever produced for the 1962 through 1970 Royal Enfield 750cc Interceptor.A compilation of five factory publications, it includes the original MK1 or Series I workshop manual for the 1962 to 1966 models and the later workshop manual for the 1968 to 1970 MK2 or Series II. In addition, it also includes the three illustrated factory 'Spare & Replacement Parts' manuals: The difficult to find 1962-66 MK1, the 1967-68 MK1A and the 1969-70 MK2 models which also includes the often missing 1970 Supplement. While Royal Enfield never issued a workshop manual that was specific to the MK1A model, the later MK2 manual, when used in conjunction with the MK1A parts manual, it will provide adequate maintenance and repair information. This manual covers the following models: 750cc Royal Enfield Interceptor MK1 (Workshop & Parts Manuals), the Workshop Manual covers both the early and late MK1 models and both the UK and the USA variants.750cc Royal Enfield Interceptor MK1A (Parts Manual)750cc Royal Enfield Interceptor MK2 (Workshop & Parts Manuals), the Workshop Manual also includes data that is specific to the 1962 to 1968 models.PRODUCTION DETAILS: The 750cc UK Interceptor MK1 (or Series I) model was produced from September 1962 through December 1965. The 1964 line-up was expanded to include a 'Standard' 6 volt model (September '63 to August '64) plus a 'De-Luxe' model with 12 volt electrics. Then in January 1966, Interceptor production was temporarily suspended for the UK market until September 1967. However, when UK production resumed, the 750cc Interceptor MK1A (now fitted with coil ignition and Amal Concentric carburetors) was released (October '67 to September '68). The final variant, the MK2 (or Series II) was produced from October 1968 to July 1970. However, as both the 1969-70 'Clymer Indian' Enfield and the 1970-72 'Rickman Enfield' utilized the MK2 engine, this manual will also be of use to owners of those rare models. Due to a number of different reasons, there is a great deal of confusion surrounding production details and the various differences between the UK and USA Interceptor models. Firstly, it is a known fact that the engine and frame numbering procedure did not follow a pattern and, at times, was somewhat random. Adding to this confusion is that during the 1966-1967 factory shut-down of UK Interceptor production, various models were still being built for export to the USA. Then, beginning in March 1967, the company went through a number of significant changes in manufacturing location, management, ownership rights and mergers. However, it is known that in 1964, the USA Interceptor became the TT model. The 'Custom' model was added in 1965 and the GT in 1966. Consequently, it is very likely that the Interceptor models produced for the USA during the 1966-1967 UK market shut-down included the 'Custom' and the TT and GT variants. There were two MK1A models produced for the USA market, the TT7 (Scrambler) and the GP7 (Road Racer). The final UK/USA model, the MK2, was introduced for 1968 and remained in production through mid-1970. The cover image is a 1970 MK2 and the previous optional air cleaner, oil cooler, skid plate and seat rail were all fitted as standard equipment, however, the larger fuel tank was still an option. In order to help identify the subtle differences between the UK and the USA models, the reader is encouraged to review all three parts manuals and both workshop manuals prior to performing any adjustments or repairs. It should be noted that the MK2 workshop manual contains information that is also specific to the earlier models, including the MK1.
Motorcycle Dream Ride
"When Mike mentioned the idea of riding our motorcycles from Alabama to Alaska, I laughed. Three days later, I told him that I thought we should do it."- David Mixson Why is it that we make lame excuses of why we can't live our BIG DREAMS? Our journey from Alabama to Alaska was less about making it there-and more about discovering things about ourselves we didn't know. It was about uncovering goodness that often goes unnoticed. It was about doing what we weren't sure was possible. It was about overcoming FEAR. Here's what one reader said: "Wow! You were in Hyder, Alaska before I put the book down the first time! Your narrative made me feel like I was almost there with you. I really appreciate the insights during the prep, the ride, and in hindsight. The best part is that you've made me excited about pursuing my own BIG DREAM. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that has a dream or who enjoys riding. Thank you for sharing your adventure!"- Lisa (a reader in Birmingham) I wrote ride reports at the end of each day and posted them online for friends and family to read. But I only told part of the story. This book peels back the layers and describes what was really going through my head before, during, and after our ride. This book took me over five years to finish. In many ways, that's a blessing because it allowed me to remember the adventure at a pace I could appreciate and honor.- David Mixson Motorcycle Dream Ride is the second book in the "Motorcycle Smarts" book series.
Motorcycle Smarts
"If I didn't think I could measurably reduce my chances of crashing, I wouldn't ride."- David Mixson Do you feel guilty for wanting to ride a motorcycle? Do you have a fear that overcomes you when you ride? Do you want to enjoy the peace of mind knowing that you're doing everything possible NOT to leave your family alone? David Mixson, author of the Motorcycle Smarts book series (and NASA engineer), debunks the myth that crashing is a matter of fate by explaining the most important topics that other motorcycle mega books gloss over. You won't find page-filling discussions about how to get the most out of your first Sturgis Rally or how to select riding gear. Instead, you'll find one of the most in-depth, simple to understand explanations of lowside and highside crashes that exists-anywhere. Riders die every day in these rider-induced crashes-and it doesn't have to be this way. Mastering the art of riding a motorcycle well is about understanding and overcoming rider fear. It's about having the head knowledge of how your motorcycle works so you can make it go where you want it to go. It's about understanding why riders crash so you can avoid making the same mistakes. It's about taking ownership of your riding safety. In addition to in-depth discussions about rider fear and (lowside and highside crashes), Motorcycle Smarts covers topics like countersteering, muscle memory, and braking. It also addresses some of the most important lessons from the Hurt Report and makes a case for only riding motorcycles equipped with ABS-that has nothing to do with stopping distances. Here's what one reader said: "I've read Total Control, Proficient Motorcycling, and Stayin Safe, but the section in Motorcycle Smarts on lowside and highside crashes is all the difference. David is great at simplifying difficult concepts. I'm definitely passing along this book to my riding friends."- Dano in San Diego, California NHTSA studies show that nearly half of all motorcycle fatalities are caused by rider error-and the numbers aren't getting any better. The training isn't working. The current motorcycle skills books aren't working. We need a fresh approach to helping riders NOT crash. This book is that. "This is the book I would hand to someone who's been riding for decades and wants to reduce their risk of crashing. This is the book I would give my son or daughter if they told me they wanted to learn how to ride a motorcycle. This is the book I couldn't find when I first started riding at forty."- David Mixson
BOOK OF MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF LUCAS ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS FOR 1950's-1970's BRITISH MOTORCYCLES (Includes 1960-1977 Parts Catalogs)
Please note that many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality, comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and published complete with greasy pages and thumbprints included. In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years of motorcycles. Conversely, VelocePress.com has been publishing reprints of motorcycle and automobile manuals since 2003 and our publications have earned excellent reviews worldwide so you can be assured you are purchasing a quality product.198 pages with more than 150 illustrations charts and diagrams, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. A previously unpublished manual from the Floyd Clymer archives. This manual is a compilation of original factory publications that include the working principals, maintenance, repair, trouble-shooting and testing of Lucas electronic equipment as utilized by the major British motorcycle manufacturers including: A.J.S., B.S.A., Matchless, Norton, Royal Enfield and Triumph. The factory 'repair and service' publications included are as follows: Maintenance instructions for "Electric Lighting and Ignition equipment" and "Alternating Current Equipment" both of which are applicable to the 1950's (and earlier *) through 1960's machines, plus the "Motor Cycle Service Manual" for the 1970's and later models. The compilation of these three publications basically covers machines constructed from the early 50's up to the unfortunate demise of the British motorcycle industry in the late 70's. Component maintenance, repair and test data for both 6 volt, and 12 volt, singles, twins and triple cylinder machines are covered and include: Dynamo, Magneto (both face cam and ring cam) Distributor, Coil, Contact Breaker, Battery, Head Lamp, Tail Lamp, Horn, Alternator, Rectifier, Starter Motor, etc. There are also 10 pages of typical wiring diagrams. In addition, there are two motorcycle "Electric and Suspension Parts" catalogs included that cover 1960 through 1977 Lucas equipped motorcycles. While their primary intention was to provide appropriate Lucas part numbers by motorcycle manufacturer and model, they are of considerable importance during any restoration project, as they serve as a comprehensive parts interchange reference by comparing component part numbers utilized by the various motorcycle manufacturers. As can be expected from any factory publication, there is adequate detailed text and diagrams making this compilation an invaluable resource for owners and restorers of Lucas equipped motorcycles and we are pleased to be able to offer this reprint as a service to all Lucas equipped British motorcycle enthusiasts worldwide. * Owners of earlier models are directed to our publication "The Book of 1930's British Motorcycle Carburetters and Electrical Components" ISBN 9781588501837
Motorcycle Guys
This book is about a specific place, but the story is universal. The lessons to be learned could apply to any city in America. Motorcycles were indicative of the technology and manufacturing revolution taking place which enabled the machine's own development. The speed with which improvements came and the enormous advances made in a short period of time, can only be compared to that of the computer revolution a century later. The connections between motorcycles, people, and the industrial and economic evolution of the 20th century holds lessons worth learning regardless of one's interest in motorcycles.This little book will acquaint the reader to people and events which may not be familiar. As well as mentioning some that might be surprisingly familiar. With over 190 illustrations, most from private collections, and many never seen publicly, there is sure to be something of interest. There is much more to be told. Much more to be learned. Much, much more that will never be known. This is a peek behind the curtain before what's still there disappears forever.

HONDA 1969-1978 WORKSHOP MANUAL 750cc SOHC 4 CYLINDER K0 K8 & F0 F3
238 pages and more than 600 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. At the time of Floyd Clymer's unexpected demise in 1970, there were a number of manuals that had been completed and were ready for publication; this Honda CB750 is one of those manuals. When the original manual was compiled in either late 1969, or early 1970, it was only applicable to the first series of 1969/70 S.O.H.C. CB750 (Sandcast) and CB750K0 models and minor changes to these early models are noted in the text. However, detailed information on these changes (and subsequent changes) have been updated, by the addition of supplements, that cover the 1971 to 1978 CB750K (K1 K8) series plus the 1975 to 1978 CB750F (F0 F3) models. There were a number of 'running changes' made throughout the 10-year production run of these models and, in order to provide information applicable to those changes, the appropriate supplements are appended to the rear section of this manual. Prior to commencing any work the reader is encouraged to review those supplements with regard to applicable engine number notations as whenever engine numbers are stated, all specifications, maintenance and repair instructions will be specific to that particular series.Beginning in 1968 and extending through the 1975 model year, the 'K' suffix often, but not always, changed on an annual basis. 'K0' was normally used to indicate the first model in the series with updated versions identified as K1, K2, K3 etc. While the 'K' number designations continued in use outside the USA through 1978, in September 1973, American Honda adopted a year identifier within the model number - for example; a CB750K'76 would be a 1976 USA model but in most other countries that same model would be identified as a CB750K6. Setting this potential for confusion aside, we can state that this manual covers the 1969 through 1978 S.O.H.C. CB750K and CB750F models. The CB750 was a true 'superbike' but it was also readily available and reasonably priced. After its initial launch in 1969, the CB750 remained in production (virtually unchanged) through 1978. With a 10-year production run of approximately 450,000 units, no one could have anticipated that it was destined to become a collector's item. Consequently, we are pleased to offer this updated and expanded version of the original Floyd Clymer manual as a service to all 750cc S.O.H.C. Honda owners, enthusiasts and restorers worldwide.Finally, please note that the text in the original manual was translated from Japanese into English. Consequently, some of the phrasing, grammar, punctuation and word usage may be subtly different from that commonly used in the English language. However the information, as presented, is readily understandable. In addition, while we have done our best to identify any anomalies and errors that may have occurred during the original translation process, we are certain that we will have missed one or two and we request your indulgence in ignoring them.
TRIUMPH 750cc T150 & T150V TRIDENT 1968-1974 WORKSHOP MANUAL
246 pages and more than 240 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This publication is a reproduction of the Triumph factory workshop manual part number 99-0963/0887/4223. The original 1969 Trident workshop manual 99-0887 was updated in 1972 under part number 99-0963. A short time later, the introduction of a 5-speed gearbox (1972) and a front wheel disc brake (1973) necessitated the publication of a supplement 00-4223 which was then incorporated into the 99-0963 manual creating a single workshop manual for the 1968 through 1974 models. Unfortunately, the 99-0963 manual was also published without the 00-4223 supplement and the manual that includes the supplement can only be identified by the following notation printed to the bottom corner of the title page: 'PART NO. 99-0963 INCORPORATING 99-0887 AND SUPPLEMENT 00-4223'The difference in content between the two manuals that carry the same part number is extremely important to owners of the 5-speed and disc brake models.There were a number of 'running changes' made throughout the 6-year production run of these models and, in order to provide information applicable to those changes, the 00-4223 supplement was either merged or appended to the end of the appropriate sections within the manual. However, it is also important to note, with regard to any maintenance and repair instructions and also the specifications in the 'General Data' (GD) section, that whenever engine numbers are stated, the data will be specific to that particular series. Therefore, the reader is encouraged to pay close attention to any engine number notations and to read the entire section plus the supplemental data prior to commencing any work. In conclusion, 750cc T150 and T150V owners are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection of the multitude of originals and reprints of the various 750cc Trident manuals that have recently flooded the marketplace. However, the combination manual 99-0963/99-0887/00-4223 is the most comprehensive manual for the entire line of 750cc Trident three-cylinder motorcycles produced from 1968 through 1974, however, it is somewhat scarce and difficult to find. In addition, many of the changes made during the production run necessitate the use of this 'combination' manual and we are pleased to offer this reprint of the 99-0843/99-0948/00-4223 manual as a service to all 750cc T150, T150V owners. In addition, as the X75 Hurricane is a combination of both the Trident and the BSA Rocket 3 this manual will also be of interest to owners of that model.The models covered are: 1968 to 1970 T150 Trident1971 to 1972 T150 Trident1972 to 1974 T150V Trident - with 5 speed gearbox and disc front brake.
TRIUMPH 350cc & 500cc UNIT CONSTRUCTION TWINS 1963-1974 WORKSHOP MANUAL
260 pages and more than 290 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This publication is a reproduction of the Triumph factory workshop manual part number 99-0843/0948/0950.The original workshop manual part number 99-0843 was subsequently updated and merged with workshop manual 99-0948. This merged 'double' manual also included a supplement, part number 99-0950 which extended the coverage up to the 1974 models. The supplement was appended to the 'double' manual such that 'Section A - Lubrication System' is followed by a 'Section AA - Lubrication System' supplement and 'Section B - Engine' is followed by a 'Section BB - Engine' supplement, etc., etc. This combination of 99-0843/0948/0950 was published as a single workshop manual applicable to the entire range of 350cc and 500cc unit construction twins from 1963 through 1974. This reprint is a faithful reproduction of that 'combination' manual.There were a number of 'running changes' made throughout the 11-year production run of these models and the way the factory identifies the point where those changes took place is by referencing engine numbers within each individual section of this manual. To assist in identifying the appropriate information applicable to those changes, the supplements were appended to the end of each appropriate section. Consequently, it is important to note, with regard to any maintenance and repair instructions and also the specifications in the 'General Data' (GD) section, that wherever engine numbers are stated, the data will be specific to that particular series. Therefore, the reader is encouraged to read the entire section plus the supplemental section prior to commencing any work, paying close attention to any engine number notations.Owners of the 350cc and 500cc machines are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection of the multitude of originals and reprints of the various 350cc and 500cc manuals that have recently flooded the online marketplace. Based on our research, at least six manuals were issued for different series of engine numbers throughout the 11-year production run. However, the 99-0843/0948/0950 'combination' manual is the most comprehensive manual for the entire line of 350cc and 500cc unit construction twins produced from 1963 to 1974. It covers all engine numbers from H29733 through H67331 plus the later 1969 through 1974 alpha numeric series engine numbers, unfortunately, it is somewhat scarce and difficult to find. In addition, many of the changes made towards the end of the production run necessitate the use of the supplement and we are pleased to offer this reprint of the 'combination' manual as a service to all Triumph 350cc and 500cc unit construction owners. The 1963 to 1974 models covered are: Tiger 100: T100SS Tiger (1963-1965), T100 Tiger (1966), T100S Tiger (1967-1970), T100T & T100R Daytona (1966-1974), T100C Trophy (1966-1972)Speed Twin: 5TA (1963-1966)Tiger 90: T90 (1963-1969)Twenty One: 3TA (1963-1966)

Classic Motorcycles
Many of the Classic Motorcycles which appear in this book were very deserving, and very well known, but some have quietly fallen by the wayside or have been forgotten entirely. But they have each earned their place in the very detailed, in-depth series of road reports published herein, all of which were published some years ago in several of Australia's foremost motorcycle magazines and newspapers. I hope these great motorcycles have enjoyed their opportunity to live again.These machines include the Vincent Rapide and Black Shadow siblings; Ariel Square Four and Ariel Leader 250; 1938/51/56 Gold Star BSAs; Rudge Special; Scott Squirrel; Matchless 600cc OHC Vee-Four; R69 BMW/Steib sidecar; WW2 Zundapp outfit; Velocette Thruxton; Munch Mammoth; Benelli Six; Triumph DOHC Bandit prototype; Bimota Suzuki; and too many others to include here.And every one of these once-famous motorcycles has a great and famous tale to tell. I have tried to talk about every one of these 32 machines it was my privilege and honour to ride, and then to report upon. I trust you will enjoy reading about them as much as I enjoyed riding them.

This publication is a reproduction of the Triumph factory workshop manual part number 99-0883/0889.The original 1963 through 1968 workshop manual, part number 99-0883, was subsequently updated with the addition of a 1969 through 1970 manual, part number 99-0889. Ultimately, both manuals were merged by the factory into a single combined manual, part number 99-0883/0889. This combination resulted in a comprehensive workshop manual for the entire line of UK and USA 650cc unit construction twins produced from 1963 through 1970.However, as this publication is a combination of two separate workshop manuals, some of the pages are duplicated. Fortunately, they occur sequentially and, while one will be for the earlier models, the other will apply to the later models and the reader is encouraged to exercise care in selecting the appropriate page from those duplications. Please understand that this is how the factory dealt with the minor differences within this manual. Unfortunately, the distinction between earlier and later models is not very well defined. For example, depending upon the model, the change from 6 to 12 volt electrics was spread over a 3-year period (1964-66). However, a fairly significant change occurred in 1968 with the introduction of Amal Concentric carburetors and a twin leading shoe front brake. Therefore, 1968 is often incorrectly regarded as a demarcation point between early and late models but, unfortunately, it is not totally accurate.There were a number of 'running changes' made throughout the 8-year production run of these models and the way the factory identifies the point where those changes took place is by referencing engine numbers within each individual section of this manual. Consequently, it is important to note, with regard to any maintenance and repair instructions and also the specifications in the 'General Data' (GD) section, that wherever engine numbers are stated, the data will be specific to that particular series. Therefore, the reader is encouraged to read the entire section prior to commencing any work, paying close attention to the engine number sub-sections.Owners of the 650cc machines are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection of the multitude of originals and reprints of the various 650cc manuals that have recently flooded the marketplace. However, the combination manual 99-0883/0889 is the most comprehensive manual for the entire line of UK and USA 650cc Unit Construction twins produced from 1963 through 1970 and covers all DU101 through DU90282 plus the later 1969 through 1970 alpha numeric series engines, however, it is somewhat scarce and difficult to find. In addition, many of the changes made during the production run would necessitate the use of both the individual manuals. However, those changes are combined in their entirety in the 99-0883/0889 manual and we are pleased to offer this reprint as a service to all 650cc Unit Construction owners. The years and models covered are: Thunderbird: 6T 1963-1966Trophy: TR6 1963-1970 / TR6R1966-1970 / TR6C 1966-1967Bonneville: T120 1963-1970 / T120R 1963-1970 / T120C 1963-1965 / Thruxton 1965 / TT 1964-1967

The early Hinckley Triumphs produced from 1991 to 2004 - Trophy, Daytona, Trident, Trident Sprint, Tiger, Speed Triple, Adventurer, Thunderbird - were designed and manufactured using a modular concept. This assists in the sharing of components across the range of bikes, which was useful with the restricted availability of spare parts. With over 725 colour photographs, First Generation Hinckley Triumph (T300) Motorcycles provides helpful guidance on keeping your bike on the road, including a discussion of the models produced and their modular design; identifying common problems and how to address them. There is a comprehensive guide to maintenance, including the tools required and details of restoration, modification and upgrades, from changing the exhaust to fabricating swing arms.

The Complete Book of Police and Military Motorcycles
This is a reprint of The Complete Book of Police and Military Motorcycles originally published in 2001. From Pittsburgh's adoption of motorcycles for police use in 1909 to General John J. "Black Jack" Pershing's motorized pursuit of Pancho Villa into Mexican territory in 1916 to the deployment of motorcycles in both world wars, this book tells the fascinating tale of these magnificent machines from their 20th century beginnings to their current use by police departments and militaries throughout the world.Joseph Berk explores the history of their manufacture by Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki, BMW, and others, from marketing strategy to product evolution. In addition, he gives the reader an exclusive inside look at how specific police departments from Atlanta to Los Angeles determine which make and model to adopt, complete with critiques of the "Big Three" police models used in the United States from officerswho have put them to the test. Berk's detailed look at the intensive 10-day training program LAPD motor officers undergo is a testament to the carefully honed, specialized skills motor officers bring to their work, and lively discussions with individual officers about how they put their machines to work on the streets on a day-to-day basis offer a unique personalized perspective. Completing the picture, Berk examines the use of motorcycles in combat, detailing the specific makes and models used by Special Forces and other military units from World War I through the turn of the century and beyond.

Book of the Bond Minicar Three Wheeler 1948-1967 Mark A Through G
128 pages, with more than 90 illustrations, diagrams and charts, size 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Originally published under the similar title The Book of Bond Minicar by R.H. Warring, this book is one of a series published in the USA by Floyd Clymer by arrangement with the original publishers, Pitman Ltd. of London, England. This re-print of the revised 1968 third edition includes repair, maintenance and overhaul information for the Bond Mark A, B, C, D, E, F and G models from their 1948 introduction through September 1967. While the primary focus is on those models powered by Villiers engines, technical data for the 875 and 875 Ranger models is also included. The entire content of this publication is devoted to the operation, maintenance, overhaul and adjustment of all the major mechanical and electrical components. Consequently, there is adequate detailed text and diagrams to assist in major refurbishing such as an engine rebuild or even a complete renovation. In addition, there is also a comprehensive chapter on modifications for the Mark A, B and C models and information on body repair.

Puch Maxi 'n' & 's' a Compilation of 3 Major Overhaul, Repair and Maintenance Publications
212 pages, with more that 140 illustrations and charts, size 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Perhaps the most complete publication ever published for the overhaul, repair and maintenance of the Puch Maxi 'N' and 'S' models beginning with their 1969 UK introduction. This manual is a compilation of 3 major publications including: (1) A reprint of the 1974 edition of 'The Book of the Puch Maxi' (2) A reproduction of the 1977 Maxi factory 'Instructions Manual' and (3) a reproduction of the illustrated1976 Rigid, Maxi, Maxi-S and Newport factory 'Spare Parts Catalogue'. The Maxi moped was sold in the US by Sears and JC Penney and in Canada by Bombardier. While the primary focus of this manual is the single-speed 'N' and 'S' models there were only minor mechanical changes made during the entire production run up through the mid 1980's and, as such, it will also be of use to owners of the later single speed models. Please note that the reprint of the 'Book of the Puch Maxi' (originally published under the same title by R. H. Warring) is one of The Motorcyclist's Library series published in the USA by Floyd Clymer by arrangement with the original publishers, Pitman Ltd. of London, England.
Jeep CJ 1972-1986
The photos in this edition are black and white.Build and modify your Jeep CJ to unlock its full potential with instruction from Jeep guru Michael Hanssen.In Jeep CJ 1972-1986: How to Build & Modify, Michael covers all of the systems that can be upgraded to improve your Jeep's performance. Upgrades include suspension components such as springs, shocks, and steering modifications; driveline components including differentials, transmissions, transfer cases, and axles; engine upgrades including engine swaps; wheel and tire upgrades; aftermarket accessories; armor such as skid plates and bumpers; brake upgrades; and more.Identifying the Jeep CJ series vehicles as the most popular off-road vehicles of all time may actually qualify as an understatement. They really are that popular. The CJ series arguably started after World War II with the CJ-2A being introduced to the masses, and while the early CJs have their share of enthusiasts, the largest group of enthusiasts began their love affair with the AMC-powered Jeep CJ-5s beginning in 1972. Joined by the longer-wheelbase CJ-7 models introduced in 1976, the CJ models were wildly popular through their discontinuation in 1986, when the Wrangler was introduced. These were the only models originally equipped with V-8 engines in any meaningful way. This era combined the ruggedness of the early Jeeps with some of the advancements and horsepower of a more modern era; it makes a platform that is both fun to own and to modify.Whether you are looking to get into serious off-roading or just want to make your classic CJ a little more fun, this book will be a valuable tool in your shop or library.
BOOK OF THE BSA SUNBEAM & TRIUMPH TIGRESS 175cc & 250cc SCOOTERS 1959 TO 1965
110 pages, and 70 illustrations and charts, size 5.5x8.5 inches. This publication covers all three variations of the BSA Sunbeam and Triumph Tigress 175cc two-stroke and the 250cc four-stroke and electric start models manufactured from 1959 to 1965. Originally published under the same title in 1967 as a corrected version of the previous 1963 edition by J. Thorpe, this book is one of The Motorcyclist's Library series published in the USA by Floyd Clymer by arrangement with the original publishers, Pitman Ltd. of London, England.MANUALS & TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS: Neither BSA nor Triumph ever published a workshop manual for these models, however, those owners interested in acquiring additional technical information are directed to our publication ISBN 9781588502537 which includes a compilation of the 3 major factory manuals identified below. The combination of these three publications provides the most comprehensive maintenance and repair information that was ever made available from the manufacturer.Maintenance, repair and service information was issued under both the BSA and Triumph name. However, as the machines were identical in all aspects, any technical documentation can be applied to either manufacturer without hesitation.SERVICE SHEETS: Beginning in December 1959, both BSA and Triumph began publishing repair, overhaul and technical information in the form of individual (dealer only) 'Service Sheets'. It should be noted that it was never intended that these service sheets would be distributed to the general public. However, they were eventually combined into a single publication and released under both the BSA and Triumph names, the contents being identical in either case.INSTRUCTION MANUAL: Both BSA and Triumph published an identical 'Instruction Manual' the only difference being the name on the front cover. These publications were somewhat more detailed than typical 'owner's manuals' as they included overhaul information in addition to general maintenance and adjustments. As these instruction manuals were included with each new scooter purchased, there were a number of 'editions' published during the lifetime of the model, however, the contents remained basically unchanged. When combined with the 'Service Sheets' they are a reasonable substitute for a workshop manual.PARTS (or) SPARES MANUAL: The parts manuals are also identical and include exploded component diagrams that are extremely helpful in the rebuilding or restoration process. DESIGN & GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS: Designed by Edward Turner (Triumph) and sold under both BSA and Triumph brand names to take advantage of established distribution networks, this badge engineering was one of the last uses of the Sunbeam name. The differences between the BSA Sunbeam and Triumph Tigress were entirely cosmetic - the former in polychromatic green paint, also two-tone red and cream, with a BSA badge; the latter in a shell blue or mimosa and ivory (two-tone) with a Triumph badge.Introduced in late 1959, the scooter was available with a 250cc four-stroke twin (10 hp), or 175 cc two-stroke single cylinder engine (7.5 hp). Both engines were forced-air-cooled. The two-stroke was a development of the BSA Bantam engine but the four-stroke was a completely new parallel-twin with a gear drive to the gearbox. The contact-breaker fed two separate ignition coils, each of which connected directly to its own spark plug without the need for a distributor. Drive to the rear wheel was by a fully enclosed chain in an oil bath. Both versions had four, foot-operated gears. Some of the 250 twins were fitted with an electric starter and a 12 volt (not 6 volt) electrical system, they were identified as either B2S (Sunbeam) or TW2S (Triumph). The 250cc four-stroke model was discontinued in 1964 and the 175cc two-stroke model in 1965.

TM 9-230-289-20P CUCV Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle Unit Maintenance Repair Parts and Special Tools List May 1992
The CUCV or Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle is a US Military vehicle based on readily available commercial trucks. Originally intended to augment the purpose-built, but expensive GAMA Goat 6x6 and older Jeeps. The first generation was based on Dodge / Chrysler trucks. This book is focused on the M1008 series second generation CUCV which was General Motor's first major light-truck military vehicle production since World War II. They began production in 1984 and ended production in 1996 with most units being produced as 1984 model year units. Later production was focused on replacements for existing CUCV's. The majority of units were built from existing heavy duty light truck commercial parts. The M1009 was an upgraded/up-rated Chevy K5 Blazer with a 3/4 ton capacity. The M1008 series trucks were a 1-1/4 ton or 5/4 ton rated truck. In all 70,000 units were produced with three power trains. This manual is the Unit Maintenance Repair Parts and Special Tools List for these vehicles. Including the 6.5 liter and other models. It is published as a convenience to enthusiasts who may wish to have a quality professionally printed copy of the manual.
Norton Workshop Manual for 850 Commando Electric Start Mark 3 from 1975 Onwards (Part Number 00-4224)
180 pages, and more than 150 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. Owners of Norton Commando motorcycles are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the selection of an appropriate workshop manual from the multitude of originals and reprints that have recently flooded the on-line marketplace. Many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned'. In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years of motorcycles. The Norton Commando model range is especially subjected to incorrect identification by these 'bedroom sellers' and you are encouraged to read the paragraph below to help identify the correct manual for your model. During the 1968 to 1978 Commando model run there were 4 different manuals published by the factory: The original 52 page 750cc manual (part number 06-3062) is applicable to the 1968 to1970 models ONLY that were fitted with the external rev-counter drive and/or the Atlas style exhaust (refer to ISBN 9781588502421). This original manual was followed by part number 06-3419 which covers the 1970 to1973 750cc models ONLY. The next, and most comprehensive manual, part number 06-5146, was published in 1973 and the 850cc data was added making this manual applicable to the entire range of 750cc & 850cc models from 1970 to 1975 (refer to ISBN 9781588502438). Finally, with the introduction of the electric start, left side gear change, rear disc brake Mark 3 models in 1975, a separate manual part number 00-4224 was published which is specific to the 1975 to 1978 MKIII 850cc series from engine no. 325001 & frame no. F125001. We are pleased to offer this reproduction of the Factory Workshop Manual 00-4224 to owners of the 1975 onwards Commando Mark 3 models and we hope that the explanation above removes any doubt regarding which manual is correct for a particular series of Norton Commando model. Models and model years covered in this manual are: - Interstate: 828cc 1975 -1978- Roadster: 828cc 1975-1978- Hi-rider: 828cc 1975-1978- Interpol: 828cc 1975-1978IMPORTANT: Owners of 1968 to 1970 750cc Commando models that were fitted with the external rev counter drive and/or Atlas style exhaust system are directed to our workshop manual ISBN 9781588502421 and owners of the 1970 to 1975 750cc & 850cc models would require our workshop manual ISBN 9781588502438. VelocePress.com has been publishing reprints of motorcycle and automobile manuals since 2003 and our publications have earned excellent reviews worldwide so you can be assured you are purchasing a quality product.
BSA Sunbeam & Triumph Tigress Scooter 1959-1965 Workshop Manual
190 pages, and more than 120 illustrations and charts, size 8.25x10.75 inches. This manual is a compilation of three factory publications including the owner's instruction manual, the parts/spares manual and a set of service sheets. These publications cover all three variations of the 175cc two-stroke and the 250cc four-stroke and electric start models manufactured from 1959-1965.

1962-1965 BSA A50 & A65 Factory Workshop Manual Unit-Construction Twins
252 pages, and more than 240 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This publication is a faithful reproduction of the 1962-1965 BSA Factory Workshop Manual part number 00-4113 that covers the A50 (500cc) and A65 (650cc) unit-construction twins manufactured between August 1961 through the end of July 1965. It should be noted that BSA model years ran from August through July. For example, the 1962 models were released in August 1961, the 1963 models in August 1962 etc. This can, at times, cause confusion and the only sure method of determining 'what year is it?' is by the serial number. The various engine and frame numbers for the 1962 to 1965 unit-construction twins are shown in the table below. Note that the pre-1966 engine and frame numbers seldom matched. MODEL KEY: C = Cyclone, CC = Cyclone Competition, L = Lightning, LC = Lightning Clubman, LR = Lightning Rocket, R = Rocket, S = Star, SH = Spitfire Hornet, TR = Thunderbolt Rocket. EXTENSION (-) KEY: CB = Cable (Rear) Brake, CR = Close Ratio Gearbox, PM = Police Model, RB = Rod (Rear) Brake, RC = Rev Counter, UK = United Kingdom Model, US = USA Model. 1962 Engine/FrameA50S-CB A50-101/A50-101A50S-RB A50-101/A50A-101A65S-CB A65-101/A50-101A65S-RB A65-101/A50A-1011963 Engine/FrameA50S-CB A50-823/A50-2288A50S-RB A50-823/A50-2701A65S-CB A65-1947/A50-2288A65S-RB A65-1947/A50-27011964 Engine/FrameA50S A50A-101/A50-5501A50-PM A50AP-101/A50-5501A50C-US A50B-101/A50B-101A50C-CR A50B-C101/A50B-101A65S A65A-101/A50-5501A65-PM A65AP-101/A50-5501A65R A65B-101/A50B-101A65R-RC A65C-101/A50-5501A65TR A65B-101/A50-5501A65LR A65D-101/A50B-101A65SH A65E-101/A50B-1011965 Engine/FrameA50S A50A-686/A50-8437A50-PM A50AP-121/A50-8437A50C-US A50D-101/A50B-4001A50CC-US A50B-507/A50B-4001A50C-UK A50DC-101/A50B-4001A50CC-UK A50DC-101/A50B-4001A65S
BSA 'Service Sheets' Master Catalogue for All Models 1945 to 1967
More than 550 illustrations and charts, size 8.25x10.75 inches. In 1945, after the war had ended, BSA resumed production of their civilian line of motorcycles. However, they continued their pre-war practice of publishing repair, overhaul and technical information in the form of individual 'Service Sheets'. It should be noted that BSA never intended that these service sheets would be distributed to the general public, they were 'dealer only' publications and the print quality was at times somewhat questionable. It was not until the early 1960's that BSA eventually started publishing model specific workshop manuals that were available to the general public. Consequently, these 'Service Sheets' were the only publications available for the maintenance and repair of BSA models that were manufactured through the mid 1960's. The most complete compilation of the 1945 and onwards service sheets was issued by BSA in the form of a 'dealer only' ringbinder that contained 166 individual service sheets (516 pgs) for the entire range of 1945 thru 1967 motorcycles. It is extremely difficult to find. It is this ring-bound publication that was used to create this 'Service Sheets Master Catalogue'. It includes every service sheet issued/updated by BSA from 1945 until the Service Sheet program was discontinued in the mid 1960's, models covered are as follows: A7 & A10 1947-62B31-B32-B33 and B34 1945-60 (Inc. Gold Star & competition models)C10-C10L-C11-C11G and C12 1945-58C15-C15T-C15S-C15SS and B40 1958-67D1-D3-D5 and D7 (Bantam) 1948-66M20-M21 and M33 1945-63Dandy 1956-62 At some point in the 1930's, BSA adopted the practice of identifying their various model types by 'groups' and the models manufactured from 1945 through the mid 1960's were in Groups A, B, C, D and M. The service sheets that were associated to a particular group were identified numerically and, while there were some exceptions due to overlapping data between models, in general terms the numbers relate to a particular model group. They are as follows: The 200 series of service sheets were applicable to Group A models, the 300 series to Group B, the 400 series to Group C, the 500 series to Group D and the 600 series to Group M. In addition, there were a 700 series applicable to mechanical maintenance and an 800 series for electronic service and wiring diagrams. Both the 700 and 800 series of service sheets contained information that was not model specific but was applicable across multiple model groups. Finally, there were a 900 series for the BSA Dandy and a 1000 series for the BSA Sunbeam and Triumph Tigress scooter. The 1000 series sheets were published under the generic title, 'Scooter Service Sheet'. These sheets did not display either company logo and they were never intended to be included in the ring-bound dealer album. Unfortunately, as these service sheets were issued individually and at random times, the numbering sequence within any group is, at times, illogical and not necessarily consecutive. Consequently, owners of BSA motorcycles are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection from the multitude of reprints that have recently flooded the online marketplace. Many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used' or even 'refurbished'! In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years of motorcycles.
Jeep Wrangler JK 2007 - Present
The photos in this edition are black and white. A full complement of heavy-duty suspension, chassis, steering, drivetrain, and high-performance engine parts has been developed for this platform. Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-Present: Performance Upgrades co-authors Don Alexander and Quinn Thomas offer guidance for making those modifications. Lift kits from 1.75 to 5 inches are available, so you can fit off-road wheels and tires for exceptional traction. Suspension springs, specially calibrated coilover shocks, and sway bars must work in concert to provide the correct suspension articulation and ride quality to scale obstacles and negotiate terrain. To increase durability and essential reliability, pitman arms, drop links, driveline parts, steering boxes, and skid plates are examined. Because the drivetrain must be ready for off-road service, the authors cover the most rugged and reliable axle assemblies available. Exhaust, intake, and electronic engine mapping upgrades make the Jeep 3.6- and 3.8-liter V-6 engines much more potent. This book also includes information on swapping GM LS and new Hemi engines into the JK for vastly improved performance.Since its release in 2007, the JK has become wildly popular and nearly 1 million units have been sold in North America. With a wider track and longer wheelbase, the Wrangler JK is roomier, more comfortable, and delivers better on-road performance than its predecessor. However, it needs serious chassis, suspension, and drivetrain upgrades to tackle demanding off-road terrain and rock crawling.If you believe that paved roads are simply access-ways to the open range, you and your JK need this book. It contains the valuable information to convert any mild-mannered street vehicle into an all-conquering off-road rig. Whether it's lift kits, wheels, tires, drivetrain, or suspension and engine parts, this volume provides detailed information and insightful guidance so you can build an off-road JK to handle the toughest terrain.
Swap LS Engines into Chevelles & GM A-Bodies
The photos in this edition are black and white. Make swapping a GM LS Engine into your 1964-1972 Chevelle or other GM A-Body as smooth as possible by learning the essential procedures, solutions to common problems, and time-saving techniques.Jefferson Bryant, author of LS Swaps: How To Swap GM LS Engines into Almost Anything, has performed many LS swaps throughout his career and has transplanted the LS into several A-Body cars. In this comprehensive guide, he provides detailed step-by-step instructions for installing an LS powerplant into a Chevelle, Buick GS, Oldsmobile Cutlass, and Pontiac GTO. To successfully install an LS engine, you need to select or fabricate motor mounts and adapter plates to mount the engine to the chassis. Also, you need to integrate the electronic engine controls and wiring harness to the A-Body car. If you run a fuel-injection system, a new tank or high-pressure fuel pump, fuel lines, and related equipment must be installed. Bryant covers all of these crucial steps and much more. In addition, he performs a new LT swap into an A-Body car. The GM LS engine has revolutionized the muscle car and the high-performance V-8 market. It has become a favorite engine to swap into classic cars because it offers a superior combination of horsepower, torque, and responsiveness in a compact package. As such, these modern pushrod V-8 engines are installed in vintage GM muscle cars with relative ease, and that includes Chevelles and other popular GM A-Body cars. In fact, General Motors manufactured about 500,000 Chevelles and A-Body cars between 1968 and 1970 alone.Swapping an LS engine into an A-Body is made much easier with a comprehensive guidebook such as this, whether you plan on doing it yourself or decide to have a shop do it for you. A huge and thriving aftermarket provides a wide range of suspension, brake, steering, chassis, and other parts that produce functional improvements. Before you tackle your LS Swap project, arm yourself with this vital information to guide you through the process.

TM 9-2320-289-34 CUCV Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle Direct Support / General Support Manual May 1992 w/Change 1&2
The CUCV or Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle is a US Military vehicle based on readily available commercial trucks. Originally intended to augment the purpose-built, but expensive GAMA Goat 6x6 and older Jeeps. The first generation was based on Dodge / Chrysler trucks.This book is focused on the M1008 series second generation CUCV which was General Motor's first major light-truck military vehicle production since World War II. They began production in 1984 and ended production in 1996 with most units being produced as 1984 model year units. Later production was focused on replacements for existing CUCV's. The majority of units were built from existing heavy duty light truck commercial parts. The M1009 was an upgraded/up-rated Chevy K5 Blazer with a 3/4 ton capacity. The M1008 series trucks were a 1-1/4 ton or 5/4 ton rated truck. In all 70,000 units were produced with three power trains.This manual is the Direct Supprot and General Support repair instructions for these vehicles. It is published as a convenience to enthusiasts who may wish to have a quality professionally printed copy of the manual. This publisher has also printed other manuals for this series of vehicles.
The Norton Commando Bible
A detailed history of the Norton Commando: its antecedents, development, and year-by-year production changes, including the turbulent story of the company that built it, bringing the story right up to the present day.This book also includes expert advice on owning and maintaining one of these iconic bikes, as well as information on clubs, websites and spares.Featuring great colour photos, including original advertising material, and comprehensive appendices of facts, figures, contacts, technical specifications, engine/frame numbers, and road test performance figures, this is the definitive book of a bike that truly deserves the term 'classic.'
Jeep TJ 1997-2006
The photos in this edition are black and white.Everything necessary to modify your Jeep TJ for off-road use is covered in Jeep TJ 1997-2006: How to Build & Modify.Beginning with why you should choose a TJ for modification, Jeep expert Michael Hanssen takes you through all the different systems needing modification, including engine modifications and swaps, transmission swaps, transfer case and driveshafts modifications, axles and traction systems, suspensions and lifts, wheels, tires, brakes, chassis protection, electrical, and winches. The Jeep CJ, the icon that started it all, is the most popular off-road vehicle of all time. The look, style, and functionality of the CJ made it instantly popular and recognizable the world over, in no doubt partly due to its military presence in World War II. The Jeep Wrangler platform had the difficult task of replacing the extremely popular CJ platform. Outwardly similar in appearance, the YJ, TJ, and JK that followed all had significant design improvements, as can be expected when a platform has a life span of more than five decades. The YJ was the first Chrysler release after it purchased AMC in the mid-1980s, and it was aimed at taming the original CJ for more comfort and, arguably, a larger audience. The TJ that followed next was an evolutionary update, significant in that it featured a coil spring suspension and the celebrated return of round headlights for a more traditional look compared to the square lights of the YJ. Included in every chapter are step-by-step modification instructions to help walk you through the process. If you want to build a TJ for serious off-road trail use, or you just want a capable and great-looking Jeep for around town, this book has you covered.

BSA C15-C15t-C15s-C15ss-B40-Ss90-B40e 'Service Sheets' 1958-1967
152 pages, and more than 200 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches.In 1945, after the war had ended, BSA resumed production of their civilian line of motorcycles. However, they continued their pre-war practice of publishing repair, overhaul and technical information in the form of individual 'Service Sheets'. These sheets were 'dealer only' publications and, as such, the print quality was at times somewhat questionable. It was not until the early 1960's that BSA eventually started publishing model specific workshop manuals that were available to the general public. Consequently, these 'Service Sheets' were the only publications available for the maintenance and repair of BSA models that were manufactured through the early 1960's.At some point in the 1930's, BSA adopted the practice of identifying their various model types by 'groups' and the models manufactured from 1945 through the mid 1960's were in Groups A, B, C, D and M. The service sheets that were associated to a particular group were identified numerically and, while there were some exceptions due to overlapping data between models, in general terms the numbers relate to a particular model group. They are as follows: The 200 series of service sheets were applicable to Group A models, the 300 series to Group B, the 400 series to Group C, the 500 series to Group D and the 600 series to Group M. In addition, there were a 700 series applicable to mechanical maintenance and an 800 series for electronic service and wiring diagrams. Both the 700 and 800 series of service sheets contained information that was not model specific but was applicable across multiple model groups.Unfortunately, as these service sheets were issued individually and at random times, the numbering sequence within any group is, at times, illogical and not necessarily consecutive. Consequently, assembling those individual sheets into a publication that serves as a model specific workshop manual is a somewhat difficult task and owners of BSA motor cycles are subjected to considerable confusion surrounding the appropriate selection from the multitude of reprints that have recently flooded the on-line marketplace. Many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality comb-bound photocopies that are scanned and printed complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned', 'used' or even 'refurbished'! In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years of motorcycles.The most complete compilation of the 1945 and onwards service sheets was issued by BSA in the form of a 'dealer only' ring binder that contained all of the individual service sheets totaling to almost 500 pages, it is extremely scarce and difficult to find. This manual includes the 21 service sheets (87 pages) published by BSA under part number 00-4082. However, an additional 13 service sheets have been added from that 'dealer only' publication, to produce a single manual containing 34 service sheets (148 pages) that cover the 1958 to 1967 unit construction, swing arm C15, C15T, C15S, C15SS and B40 models. Please note that service sheets other than those in the 400 series that are included in this publication may also contain data that is applicable to 'other' model groups, as that was the original intention.For additional information the reader is directed to 'The Book of the BSA OHV & SV singles 250cc 1954 to 1970' (ISBN 9781588501585) which covers the C10L, C11G, C12, C15, C15SS, C15T.
