About 1980
Evening all just wondering if anyone has an idea please in what year Weihrauch changed from a leather piston seal to a synthetic one in HW35’s.
Cheers

About 1980
The changeover was at serial number 843636 in 1980, Dave
All the best Mick
Thanks guys I’ve just picked up a lovely HW35E her serial number is 727160 and I dated her to 1979.
So she will have the leather washer and probably a 4mm transfer port then. Not had a chance to strip her down yet for a fettle as only got her yesterday.
Stay safe
Cheers

Thanks I’ll check tomorrow I was thinking of buying a new type piston with seal to put in her.
Also was tempted by Mach 1.5 and bought a chromed piston out of a Vixen. Seem to be a heavier piston with a reduced diameter due to a thick steel piston sleeve. Lots of things to try to help alleviate lockdown boredom.
Cheers

The vixen also ran a thinner gauge spring with the heavy piston liner , the T.P were altered to match with various sizes.
