Rob: I had not heard of Russels before and a search came up with a London company, would that be the same Russels?. There was no email address on the site only a phone number which is odd. Doing a search I also found mention of JSL but a Google search brings up nothing.

JSL ( Jampot Spares Limited ) would have been what is now club spares. Some time ago the club and spares dept. and the club, were separated, to form two limited companies. This was mainly due to insurance liability problems. Not so long ago the spares dept. was re united with the club. Russels or to be more precise, Russell motors Ltd. of Battersea, London, are an old motor cycle dealership that is still in operation selling off old stock. I believe also getting reproductions made.

Wot Rob said, plus bear in mind that Les Myers, the owner, doesn't do email so you'll have to avail yourself of the new electric telephone apparatus.....

You will also find that like most of us now in our more senior years, Les no longer works full time so you will have to keep on trying if you do not get an answer straight away on the dog and bone.

I think all of them are BSF, my Model 8 is a 1960 and that is BSF, maybe someone here with a later bike can just confirm to be sure but UNF/UNC came into use later I think here in the UK originating from the USA and Canada

I was going through the spares section and found that the 5/16 bolts were listed so something to add to the order. I have a couple of queries on the suitability of spares but there does not seem to be a spares email address. Is it a case that if its not listed its not available?.

Generally, if it's not listed it's not available but there may be something that hasn't been updated. You can e-mail spares@jampot.com with any queries.

Thanks Janet, I'll pop off an email and see what happens. I just want to check before ordering due to the fact that I have a "hybrid" ;)
