I have just acquired a 1948 Mk1 Brockhouse Corgi which I intend t renovate.

I would be interested to know if anyone else has one of these machines and be willing to pass on their knowledge/info.

I am also looking for a few spare parts

Still looking for anyone who has a Brockhouse Corgi, who would be willing to share knowledge/information.

Also still looking for a number of spare parts

I seem to recall stumbling across a website dedicated to these a while back. Have you searched the net?

My eyes have gone square looking at the computer
I am looking for some parts to get the engine running but it is hard going.
It didn't help because someone had butchered the flywheel and magneto trying to fit an electronic ignition and welded the flywheel on.

I can't be the only person that has one of these, so if anyone knows someone who has one or hears of any parts going please let me know.
I am trying to keep a little piece of motor cycle history alive.

Thanks for the info mate

I have tried about 6 or 7 time to join the Brockhouse Corgi Club but have not had any replies.

However I have just joined the Scooterrebels site and will be checking it out later.

Again many thanks

Hi
I know you were asking about parts, but what about manuals?
NMC has copies of a couple available.

I have pretty much pulled everything together, the only things I need now are a drive sprocket, stator plate and the various nuts/bolts/washers to mount onto the stator plate

I now have all the parts I need to get this engine going, However I still require an engine drive sprocket for an Excelsior Spryt 98cc MK1 engine.
This was the engine used in the Brockhouse Corgi

If anyone has one or can give me a lead I would be greatful

Have you a photo of what you need?
Depending on the sprocket I would just have one Laser cut and harden it, might not be perfect but would get it mobile
