The Royal Enfield Manual

- by Pete Snidal (C)2002

The Parts Section

The CD will have two parts sections: the first covering the Indian Enfields of Today. The second will be the Redditch Parts Section. Here is the index page. Two of the links work in this sample - the lines underscored in black are also links on the CD.

The Redditch Parts Section

These are a series of scannings from an old Redditch Parts Book. Although for the MKII frame model, it is included in this manual for two reasons. First, for nostalgia purposes - the last of the Redditch Bullets certainly deserve their place in history, although far outnumbered by their Indian counterparts, and second as a guide to nomenclature for the purpose of understanding my Canadian slang terms for spanners, gudgeon pins, etc. It is also a piece of history which will serve to point out how few differences there are between the Redditch models of 40 yrs + ago, and today, in 2003, in India.

The MkII frame, incidentally, was only begun in 1957/8. The Bullets from 1949 until then were pretty well identical to the REM Bullet - only the frame and a few appurtenances were changed; the majority of parts, and all the engine parts were the same as produced until the end of the century in India.
