CONDITION:
Very good overall vintage condition for a collection of this type. This is not simply a random box of loose used hardware. A large portion of the parts have been carefully separated into bags and labeled with part numbers, model information, or application notes, with many pieces appearing clean and well preserved. Some components are NOS or appear unused, while others are original used service parts or sub-assemblies. The organization and identification make the collection particularly valuable to someone restoring an A65 rather than having to sort through an unidentified bulk hardware lot. There are also complete mechanical and electrical components mixed in with the smaller hardware, including the Boyer Bransden ignition unit, Lucas ammeter, unit-twin oil pump, swingarm hardware, kickstart lever, fork springs, and numerous individually identified OEM hardware packages.
Because this is a large vintage parts collection containing both NOS/unused and used components, individual condition varies by piece. Please study all photographs carefully and use the visible labels, part numbers, and markings to determine the exact components and condition included. If you would like more photos, please message me.
I do my best to describe everything accurately, but I don’t know every single detail for every year and model. Please double-check the part numbers, look closely at the photos, and verify the dimensions to make sure this is exactly what you need for your specific application.
If you need a second look, additional info, more measurements, or extra pictures, just shoot me a message—I’m happy to help you get the right part the first time.
