TY175 rear torsion bar

Post by TY-TRIALS-UK »

Hi

Can anyone tell me the length of the rear brake stay (Torsion bar) (Hole centre to Hole centre) for a Ty 175.

I am rebuilding a TY and plan to make my own torsion bars, but don't have one to copy off!

Thanks in advance

Pete

Looks like another old bike back in trials, hope so.

Yes!

Rescued from an old guy in Scotland. He started it some time ago, powder coated the frame, then stuck it in a shed for 2 years! During that time various bits were mislaid, including the petrol tank which, he apparently gave to his mate to paint and never got it back!

I am currently assembling parts etc and hope to have it ready to trial in the spring!

I do my own powder coating so will get busy powder coating anything and everything!

Sorry about the picture, will get the hang of it!
