well I got lucky and found the area dealer's son in Ft Collins, CO! an old fellow at a truck stop got started talking and he told me about Acme Machine Shop. Turns out the son of the original BSA dealer still runs the place, and they still stock a few parts, have access to good sources, but best of all, they make replacement parts!!!!
so I got an NOS kickstart spring and a fresh new, made in sept of 07 rachet pinion gear! not the best price in the world, but not the worst either. I put it all back together, along with cutting a new gasket, two days back. filled it with gear oil and haven't even seen it soak thru the paper gasket yet!! (fingers crossed)
tapped out the cover screw holes with a 7mm 1.0 tap because both had been stripped. the tap was what a local brit bike repair guy had on hand, the next WW size would have been too large for the cover holes to be drilled, so we did the metric thing. now my problem is that I can't find a grade 8 (black hardened) allen head bolt!! I did get a grade 5 steel bolt with hex head, and a small aluminum hobby tube which I used to create a spacer, since the hex head won't fit the recess of the inspection cover holes, but with the spacer it clears the cover and the kicker.
Got a battery while I was up north, couldn't find my B39-6 anywhere but Denver, and the shop was closed by five weekdays and noon on saturdays, just couldn't make it down there.
If I can get a cover on the brakelight, I think I'm ready to head for the DMV!!! yee haw! I'll be tinkering some more this weekend in hopes of getting it there on monday!!
thanks for all the help so far, I'm sure Im far from done, but definitely excited about it still!!!
