Do You Recognize This Douglas?

Hello, I was reading your website trying to find this bike and thought I'd try emailing a picture of it to see if you would recognize it. I've just recently started riding myself and remembered this old picture. It is my great grandmother in Kingston, Ontario, Canada about the 1930's I think. Would you have any idea what model or year this bike is? If you do have any information, it would be greatly appreciated. I am in southern Ontario.

Thank you. Rod Sutherland

Owners Manual and Kick start Rubber wanted - 1936 Aero Douglas 500cc

I have so far not been able to track down an Owners Manual for my 1936 Aero Douglas, 500cc model. As you can imagine this makes repairs and adjustments more difficult than they need be so one would be fantastically useful.
I also need a new kick start rubber as mine has perished and is on its last legs or should I say feet?
Can anyone please help?

My Dad had a 1948/1949 T35 sports when he was a young lad in England. I am seeking some data/specs or photos of this model. Can anyone please help?

He used to have photos of it over the years - they got lost or damaged. It would make his year just to see some photos of it once again. He also used to work on them for a living when he first got married.

Thank you

Jamming Kickstarter on Douglas EW

I am restoring an EW. The kick starter segment gear and shaft were missing. I have had a segment gear and matching pinion cut by a professional gearcutter. I asked him what modification I needed to make to the spur gear profiles in order that they would engage without jamming. He did not know and had never been asked that question.

Can anyone advise what modification I need to make to either the pinion or segmented gear to overcoming the tooth jaming which now takes place every second time I attempt a start?

After 10 years of restoration I rode my EW around the block within our Retirement Village.

B. Magneto pickups - 2 required, 4 preferred. Also shown on the Electrical page - Magnetos 4. In the lower center of photo is a partially complete EIC magneto which has at least one of the required pickups installed, although there may be two, it is hard to tell from the photo. It would also appear that in photo Small Parts 2-9 in the upper left portion a single pickup is shown with wire.

Does anyone else need magneto pick-ups? If I can't find any soon, I will make some. Please contact me if you are interested.

Handle bar lever

Shown in the photo Small Parts 1 - Hand Controls, in the right side column, fourth lever from the bottom appears to be the lever needed. I could supply a tracing of the required lever if needed.

Please contact Mark Gibson

Pair of 80 Plus Barrels wanted

As a new Douglas owner who has dashed into buying an 80 Plus, and has now started finding out how much is wrong with it, I am in need of a pair of 80+ cylinder barrels (or even one would be a start), or unmachined castings, as my barrels are Mark 4/5 ones. You may have one on your shelf, they look the same as Mark barrels, but are 1/10th inch shorter; the difference shows up when 2 barrels are placed side by side on a flat surface. The base flange may be the same thickness as a Mark 4/5, the later ones were thicker. I have been told there are none about, can you prove them wrong? I am also missing 2 valve caps and collets.

Air cleaners for 1948 T35 wanted

My original Mark 111 (back c1950, when I was but a lad, sigh!) was fitted with air cleaners to each carby. They were about 75 to 95 mm diam and had several layers of mesh from coarse to medium to fine pitch retained by a circlip - they replaced the usual venturi intake. I now have a 1948 T35 and wish to fit similar cleaners. Does anyone know where I can obtain some?

Original Douglas factory in Bristol - I'm there!

My name is Joe McNamara and I currently operate a sign making business from Douglas House on the site where the motorcycles used to be made. I need to put a new sign on Douglas House and for historical reasons, I'd love to reproduce the original "Douglas" text on the new sign to keep the link with the proud history of the site so it doesn't get forgotten. If you have any close up pics of the text that would help me greatly - I'd also appreciate any help in locating photos of the site during production of the motorcycles. Thanks for a great site!

Joe

editor's note... the pic is for illustrative purposes only. It is from a tank which was part of the Kynoch Douglas Parts Collection. It may not be the same as the original text on Douglas House. You can see the tank here.

Can you help identify this Douglas Engine?

I have a douglas engine , engine no.ft35/1/1271 on engine base . I would be grateful for any information on this please.

Many thanks, David
