No standard models had that single pinstripe design (or the Union Flag/Jack decals).
 
Looks like you have a T piece in the balance tube!? The balance tube should only connect each carb inlet to the other to my knowledge. I can't think why a T off would be required.

By the way, that's a lovely looking tank, where is it from? And what are you doing for a seat?
 
It s a lyta sprint tank from enfield county in india
I read a lot of bad comments on this suplier but the tank is really good

It's a Mk 3 fitment, the T piece leads off to the oil separator, looks like the stock airbox is not being used so just replace the pipe with a standard balance pipe.

Manursr,

Guess that means YOUR model is the original. :lol:
Beautiful alloy tank.

Cheers.

Yes, agree what he said....
 
Very nice bike. I also liked the petrol tank.
Which mufflers have you used? What are the inlet and outlet diameter of these?

Is that a groove which has been beaten into the Lyta tank ? Is it possible to buy them without that ? In Australia Period 3 Historic racing is a good race class. The best bikes are either Molnar Manxes or replica featherbeds fitted with two-valve Jawa engines and Triumph 5 speed boxes. All we need now is a reasonably priced and effective drum front brake.
 
Thanks guy I will check all your advice and work around this !

You're amazing thanks for your precious help!
 
We are neer the end !
I will replace this this front brake with a 4 leading shoes brake and that's it !!
