Britbike forum Forums Thread Like Summary - Clubman resources?

Hi all,
I've been searching the old threads for info on Lightning Clubman builds. Really interesting stuff. Wasn't aware of some of the details.
Was wondering if there were any more recent updates/leads on best places to source parts for a Lightning/Clubman conversion? Many of the related posts were already several years old.

Bars:
Seat:
Rear Sets:
Tail Light:
2 into 1 Exhaust:
Side Covers:
Headlamp:

Also, if anyone knows a best match for the clubman gold paint?

Even links to any interesting sites/articles would be appreciated. Its been a while since I've done much reading on the subject.
Cheers!

Workshop manual top trumps them all. Roy Bacon's books are good for the pictures but thats about it in my opinion.

I have a number of Bacon books. The LC has almost no coverage in them. There really isn’t much info anywhere except in assorted articles in assorted magazines that cover the vintage bike scene.

There is likely as much good info on this forum as exists anywhere. You just have to find it all.

There were 190 built. 45 or so are known to exist. I have seen 3.

I suspect more than 190 were built since there were 2 distinct models built. The Lightning Clubman (190 allegedly built) with rear sets, solo seat, and Clubman bars, the Lightning (unknown # built) with dual seat, standard bars, and standard foot pegs. Both were based on the US spec Lightning Rocket with high compression pistons and a CR gearbox. The CR box also shows up in some Hornets and some US spec LR’s. I believe some CR LR’s ended up in Oz as well. Most of the “Lightnings” I have seen evidence of are in Oz.

Rich B is the authority on Lightning Clubman's.
