SEVENTYFIVE dollars . such hardship. Hope it wasnt to far away, the cost of petrol an all .
:shock:
Might pay to judiciuosly jack front tubes / mount, or pry clear of case, and block between tubes , before
pulling the donkey .

INCEDENTLY , THOSE BSA's have a PRE-UNIT spaceing / witdth on the rear mountings .
So it may be possible to throw a Norton engine and box in , useing the AMC Chaincase.
The old dirt track look perhaps ? The finned rockercover was a update , yearewise , mayve been earlier in the U.S.
The front brake is a ' classic ' .Single sided 8 in ( dont ask about the single sided 7 in with the tin drum that warps )
Good power and response for dirt roads rideing hard. But would be overwhelmed pulling down from the ton repeatedly
roadraceing , nevertheless , Lots of Goldstars ran them , cleaning up clubmans in the I.o.M., Have too be a keeper 8) .
Also std on the A65 Spitfire series one .
Im sure you could jack the frame straight with a hydraulic press / bench .Or cunning use of a bottle jack , several 4 x 2s and
a solid door frame or tree , if you took it slowly & quitely .Id check if the length is right for 750 if fitting new downtubes .
tweaked the cradle on a 71 for pre unit Triumph , 1 1/4 in , so consider ONE and FIVE EIGTHS Longer is the Correct amount
to add in the bottom tubes .
:wink: though AMC isnt neccesarily the same shaft spaceing .
First Rickmans were A10 frame , tiger 100 donk & Norton forks , They called this a ' Motocrosser ' ! :|
