Can't wait to see the project unfold!

I have a treasured old photo of my dad from the 50's in Izmir, Turkey on an old Triumph.
Would love to have one someday...

Well now that you ask.............. some. Fitted an entire front end, pulled the FUGLY front disk brake setup and went with the "old school" look of a conical brake. New rear drum, rims, spokes, tires, yada yada yada. This past March we hit a pretty deep financial pot hole and are just starting to climb out. So, hopefully in the next month or so I can get back to putting this thing on the road. On a side note, my son expressed an interest in making it a father/son project. He's got an interest in using it from time to time in his daily commute. Keep the popcorn warm, I'll post pics as we go along. In the mean time, here's a couple of the new front end installed.

Yep.
A word of advice-
That brake was effective back in, oh, say 1964. I know the disc setup was fugly (they always were) however, http://www.britishonly.com/ or http://www.britcycle.com/ and also, http://www.jobcycle.com/ are some great places to start. I would recommend that you do a bit of homework, and find a retrofit disc brake setup that will work on your front end, and use it, as if that motor is properly rebuilt, and sorted, IE: Mikuni carbs (the stock Amals were junk) a Boyer-Bransden electronic ignition, decent cams, etc, it will just flat haul ass, and I have always been a BIG fan of the "Stop fast, handle good BEFORE one attempts to go fast" philosophy of scooter building.
I ran a dual disc Hondawg CB750 front end for years, and it worked great, and there are a BUNCH of older asian bikes out there that had pretty good front ends and brake systems, that can easily be adapted to that bike.

There is a book by Stan Shenton, called "Triumph Speed Tuning" that can be an invaluable source of period correct upgrades, and all the info in it is still useful for your model, up to and including chassis, brakes and motor upgrades.
The sources I listed will help you to find the correct and high quality parts for upgrades and restoration, and talking to their tech people can guide you in the right direction to build a safe, solid, and most of all, ride-able bike that you can minimize maintenance and upkeep, and enjoy.
PM me if you'd like more info, of just want to ask some general questions.

'Preciate all the links! Sage advice too. I am well aware of the limitations of that front brake, when I went that way I was going more for a look. Initially the bike was going to be a "Thursday night bike night" special, not a daily driver. If my son starts riding it, he'll be aware of it's limitations. Putting all these links you sent in my Trumpet folder now! Thanks again..
