I'm 99% sure he has one Ash. I offered my RSA to David Silver for his museum and was told they already had one.
Maybe if you call them and ask for Charles Cheshire he might measure their tank for you?

He's evidently got a red one Dave according to his lists. I will be going to his 400 event ... maybe that's the time.

Seem to remember he got his SS50 from someone on here ... was that you?

Laverda Dave:
Definitely not me Ash. I never had a moped but went straight to a CB160 at 17👍

Ha ha ..I started on a C200 90cc sports then quicky to a CD175A sloper that I passed my test on. Had a CB160 but never really got on with it.

I seem to remember that a member here had a lovely SS50 moped and sold it to possibly James May and it ended up in DS museum. Could be wrong though  :-[

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I'll admit to having owned and used daily two mopeds when I was 16 yrs of age to get to college where I was studying for O levels.
Both were NSU Quickly models iirc my first was two speed (cost £10  a runner from Bob Minions when they were on Park St, Derby) the later one was a three speed both handlebar operated gears.

At weekends I used to do the Matlock Pilgrimage run to look at proper bikes!

Thanks for the positive comments on this and the microwave transformer spot-welder. Always encouraging when members spur you on.

JoJo (Steve) is going to be a way for a few weeks...so agreed to rough polish the other three carbs for him. Then I will send a pic to 'Miss Diane'  ;D at Prestige Electroplating, as she was the one who encouraged us that the carbs could be recovered successfully.

Left my mate 'Dodgy Roger' playing with his home-made vapour blaster yesterday. He was using a submersible pump to pump the water/glass slurry.... . I doubt that the pump is up to the job and will wear out in no time but always great to see people 'have a go' and hope I am proved wrong. He's got it in a nice cabinet though made of stainless steel with a pneumatically controlled top opening cover. Will post some pics on here. It definitely needs a windscreen wiper adding to the inspection window though.

Anyone elso had a go at a DIY vapour blaster?
