Started a restoration project that has very little information on. From what i have been told by acouple of people now
The hardest part is going to be finding some of the missing parts and almost impossible parts to find. Speedo ,horn , chain gaurd and clutch cover.
I am starting to restore a 1972 simplex spitfire. The clutch cover is missing. I am hoping someone can help me out with a template or even a cover to sell. Might even need a chain cover template or one to buy also. Someone said they could get the chain cover copied for me but have to wait and...
Lets see some small engine stands. Here is a nice little tool to use when rebuilding a small engine. I know of 2 of these to be around right now. This one and the one that my cousin (Delray) has. If anyone knows of one and wants to sell it give Jerry(Kustomkartkid ) a call or message
I am looking to see if someone has a H35 head in very good shape. This is the head off the raffle bike motor and it has alot of broken fins. Please message me if anyone has a nice one that they would like to sell. Thank you in advance. Rick

This is a bike i built a few years ago and and had Ron Kimball stumped on.
This is a Heald VT5 with 12 volt electric start. They never built a bike this size with electric start. I had Ron sign the front fender and clear coated over it since then. This bike i am donating to the raffle and...
A big Thank You is going out to Rupp72 for giving me a heads up on these nice surviving Heald VT1's. Spent about 11 hours driving to get them but it was well worth it. Got a bonus with them also. I got an original VT1 front ski too. Thank you again Nate.
From now on I will be asking that all parts be paid in full before I send them out or deliver them. I have been burned a few times now and last month is the last one. I delivered a survivor bike and some heald parts and was givin partial payment. I am still waiting for the final $350 in payment...
This is the correct style cover I am looking for. No rear fill. No governor arm on side. Must be webbed. Bushing motor. Late 1960s to early 1970s. Thank you Rick.
I thought OldMiniBikes had repop motor plates for bonanzas. I guess not so now is anyone making them. I have a frame and the motor plate is so cut up and crap welded to it .I'm not sure which holes and slots are correct. Thanks Rick
Just brought this one home after a 1300 mile ride from Utah. Thank you Dave for selling this to me. 1970 heald VT1. The motor date code is 700209. February other 1970. I will be looking for an original seat to copy for it. It's not a 100%complete but it is a survivor to me. I will get more pics...
I have been able to download pics on here with my phone and now it seems since the layout of forum I can't anymore. I have some pictures for the Lil Indian build bike I want to post but can't. Thanks.
