Does anybody have a copy of this book that I could borrow please?
(Or buy, if somebody wants to sell)

I could photo copy some pages. what you after.
They don't come up very often, I've had my copy around 20 odd years. Make them an offer and see what they say.

Very sorry,couldnt find one - only a copy of the four stroke book for £45.I didnt buy that as I already have it.My offer to borrow mine still stands if you are stuck.
Good autojumble though,bought a pair of AJS crankcses,a 350 Ariel crank,a NOS Hepolite piston for the AJS,a pair of Ariel crankcases,a set of tubes to build an HT5 frame and a book.Best part of £500,but well worth it - a really interesting day out,esp when Sammy Miller asked me what the piston was for !
