Once again we’re digging out the picnic hampers and cloudy lemonade in anticipation of the 2014 Pre-War Prescott event to be held on 19th July at the very scenic Prescott Speed Hill Climb venue.  We’ll be there again, as sponsors, with our hospitality tent and period vehicles including the Triangle Skinner Special which will be demonstrated yet again by our very enthusiastic staff!  With SU Carburetters fitted to so many of the Pre-War cars in attendance it just makes sense to be there to meet and greet the owners and offer words of wisdom if needed.  Head on down to http://www.prewarprescott.com/ to get booked in and secure the very unique opportunity to drive this historic venue in a relaxed, untimed manner in your road going Pre-War car.

We regret to announce the recent death of Mike Cullen, a founding member of Burlen. Mike left the company in the mid 1980's but we would like to acknowledge the contributions he made in the early years of the firm. Our thoughts are with Mikes family at this time.

AMAL have re-introduced the Type 16 “Standard” Touring twist grip, the popular choice fitted by leading British motorcycle manufacturers from the 1940s to the 1960s. The Twist Grip, which has a polished aluminium finish rather than the original chrome, is manufactured to a high standard using the original AMAL drawings to ensure accuracy. The correct Imperial sizes of threads and bolts ensure that the twist grip is ready for installation and should not require any additional fettling.

Most of the new Amal Premier carburetters are supplied with a pilot jet 622/502-17 which replicates the proportions of the earlier pressed in pilot bush. A range of alternative premier jets are now available from 622/502-15 up to 622/502-23 to enable the enthusiast to fine tune the pilot circuit.

14/249 a single and 14/250 a 90 degree double threaded banjo are now available from the AMAL Carburetter Company. The banjos are cast in aluminium with ¼” BSP threads for attachment of fuel lines and can be used with Type 302 and 504 float chambers, and bottom feed Type 14 remote racing float chambers.

The hill is closed, the sun is setting and we're pulling the tent pegs up. Another glorious day at Pre War Prescott. See you next year!

'Loud' doesn't really explain it!

A Sunday driver.... On a Saturday!

Just loading up the Skinner Special ready for the short cross country skip to Prescott!

The clamping bolt comes with a captivated nut for ease of fitting. The bracket is shaped to fit the taper of the coil housing. Two brackets will be required to carry a double pump.

Derived from an AMAL product this air screen has been adapted to fit the 1” SU OM Type Carburettor. Consisting of 3 gauze screens to provide some protection and engine. It is secured to the body of the carburettor by 3 grub screws. Size 3” Dia. 1 ¼” Deep.

The original AMAL Type 313 Double Rotor Positive Stop Twist Grip was previously manufactured from 1949 to 1967.  Originally designed to meet the requirements of machines fitted with twin carburetters and supplied with optional positive stop for racing or sports machines, the Twist Grip is a faithful reproduction of the original, manufactured to a high standard using the original AMAL drawings to ensure accuracy. The correct Imperial sizes of threads and bolts ensure that the polished aluminium twist grip is ready for installation and should not require any additional fettling.

The Stayup floats are suitable for use with the CD Stromberg carburetters that used different floats to the usual CD design. These were used mostly by Triumph on the TR4 and 4A in the mid 60’s and also the early CD 150 on Triumph Vitesse and 2000 in the mid 60’s – early 70’s.

Now available to Norton and Velocette owners is the original "T" Bar fast idle throttle stop (RKC/603).  They feature on our new 276 carburetters.

After many years of faithful service, we thought it was finally time to retire the old site and replace it with a slicker, more advanced website.

We’ve refreshed the design and layout and have restructured our product catalogue into, what we hope, is a more enjoyable online shopping experience. We’ve also linked our news sections in with our social media activity which will keep you informed on what we’re up to. Be sure to ‘like’ us on Facebook and add us on Twitter to keep abreast of the latest news, if you’re into that sort of thing!
