Triumph Motorcycle Restoration - Pre-Unit - Assemble and Restore a pre-1963 650cc

This illustrated manual explains the full restoration process for Triumph 650 cc twin motorcycles built before 1963. It features two complete restorations - a 1959 Bonneville and a 1956 TR6 - documented from start to finish. Step-by-step sequences form the core of the book, with numerous colour photographs showing the assembly of each machine, from swingarm and chassis installation to fitting the fenders and fuel tank.

Author and experienced Triumph mechanic Garry Chitwood describes correct assembly methods and highlights common mistakes, helping readers understand the details that distinguish a basic rebuild from a high-quality restoration. The book also covers the overhaul and assembly of the 650 cc twin engine and the four-speed transmission, with clear explanations and full photographic support.

To address model variations without lengthy technical comparisons, the manual includes colour plates showing left and right side views of major Triumph models from the 1950s and early 1960s.
*Triumph Motorcycle Restoration - Pre-Unit" provides 144 pages and more than 450 photos, offering essential guidance for anyone seeking to buy, rebuild, or restore a pre-1963 Triumph 650 cc twin.
