Grey Flash 2751

The history and restoration of a Vincent HRD Grey Flash

Sourcing the correct herringbone patterned oil/fuel pipe has not been easy… There are still some stocks of 3/8″ ID pipe available but stocks of 5/16″ ID pipe have dried up and none is currently being manufactured.

Oil feed.

The correct run of the oil feed pipe was determined to be as above. We decided to stick with 3/8″ pipe for this as all the feed fittings present on the machine were sized to accommodate this ID – and many of them appeared ancient and possibly original to the bike. Below some shots of the other pipework in place.

Jubilee clip compression mark visible but no correct pipe available so this will have to remain!
