About Wassell Limited and Total Bike Bits
Total Bike Bits is the website of Wassell Limited, a Lincoln-based supplier serving the motorcycle trade. The company supplies classic British motorcycle parts under its own brand and other names represented in its catalogue. The Bonneville Shop offers selected products from this range to motorcycle owners and restorers.
Our Wassell collection includes carburetors, electronic ignition kits, seating, carburetor service components and selected engine and cycle parts. Product applications vary, so use the individual description—not the supplier name alone—to determine compatibility.thebonnevilleshop
For a broader selection, explore our vintage Triumph parts, Norton Commando parts and BSA motorcycle parts.
Wassell and TJ Wassell Engineering Are Separate Businesses
Wassell Limited, represented at Total Bike Bits, should not be confused with TJ Wassell Engineering. Old Boys Toys identifies itself as the retail division of TJ Wassell Engineering Ltd and describes its own range of UK-made and finished classic motorcycle parts.totalbikebits+1
For that separate range, visit our TJ Wassell brand collection.
When shopping, distinguish the supplier, product brand and actual manufacturer. A familiar historical name on a current replacement part does not, by itself, establish that the part was produced by the original historical factory or engineering team.
Wassell Evolution Carburetors
The Wassell collection includes Evolution carburetors in several bore sizes and configurations. Listings include individual left- and right-hand carburetors, matched pairs and a 32mm pair described for Norton 850 Commando applications.

Some listings use “Amal Premier-type” to describe the product. These are identified as Wassell Evolution carburetors; that wording should not be read as identifying them as Amal-branded carburetors.
Browse our Wassell carburetor collection or complete carburetors for additional options. Related components are available through our Triumph carburetor and fuel, Norton carburetor and fuel and BSA carburetor and fuel categories.

Select service components by the carburetor and specification described in the listing. A shared reference or similar appearance should not replace checking the stated compatibility.
Wassell VAPE Electronic Ignition Kits
The collection includes several Wassell VAPE ignition listings, including a kit described for 12V systems, an MK2/MKII kit described for 6V and 12V applications, and packages that include coils for singles or twins. These are distinct product configurations.

Seats for Classic Motorcycles and Custom Projects

Historical Brand Names and Current Replacement Parts
Wassell’s published company history describes acquiring the Hepolite brand, trademark and goodwill in 2011. It describes a Lucas classic-motorcycle licence acquired in 2014 and an extended Lucas Classic and Girling licensing arrangement in 2019. These are trademark and licensing relationships; they should not be treated as proof that current products were manufactured by the original historical factories.
Explore our separate collections for Lucas electrical parts, Hepolite engine parts and Girling brakes and shocks. Keep the product’s current brand, specifications and documented origin distinct from the history associated with the name.
For supplier information, see Wassell Limited at Total Bike Bits and its trade contact page. Wassell states that it supplies the motorcycle trade rather than handling public enquiries. Customers purchasing from The Bonneville Shop should contact us about their orders and product selection.

Wassell FAQs
What is Wassell Limited?
Wassell Limited is a supplier of classic British motorcycle parts based in Lincoln, England. Its website, Total Bike Bits, serves the motorcycle trade and represents both its own-brand products and other brands in its catalogue.
Is Wassell Limited the same company as TJ Wassell Engineering?
No. This collection concerns Wassell Limited at Total Bike Bits. TJ Wassell Engineering is a separate business whose retail division identifies itself as Old Boys Toys. For its products, visit our TJ Wassell collection.
Does a historical brand name mean a part came from the original factory?
Not by itself. A current product may carry an acquired or licensed historical name. Wassell’s published history describes both brand acquisitions and licensing arrangements, so the current product’s manufacturer and origin should be established separately.
What Wassell products does The Bonneville Shop offer?
The collection includes Evolution carburetors, VAPE ignition kits, carburetor service parts, seats, pushrod tubes, primary covers, fork gaiters and other replacement components. Availability and applications vary by listing.
Are Wassell Evolution carburetors Amal-branded carburetors?
The products in this collection are identified as Wassell Evolution carburetors. Some listings describe them as “Amal Premier-type,” but that does not identify them as Amal-branded products.
Which Evolution carburetor sizes are listed?
The collection includes 28mm and 30mm carburetors in individual or paired configurations, plus a 32mm pair listed for Norton 850 Commando applications. Check the selected product’s bore size, handedness and specification.
Can I buy left- and right-hand Evolution carburetors separately?
Yes. The collection contains individual left- and right-hand 28mm and 30mm listings, as well as paired sets. Confirm whether your chosen listing supplies one carburetor or a pair.
Are Wassell carburetor jets and slides available?
Yes. Listings include pilot jets, main jets, needle jets and a No. 3.5 throttle slide. Select by the component specification and the compatibility described in the product listing.
Are all Wassell VAPE ignition kits the same?
No. The collection has separate listings for a 12V kit, an MK2/MKII kit described for 6V and 12V applications, and packages with coils for singles or twins. Read the specific kit’s instructions and contents.
Do all ignition kits include coils?
Do not assume that they do. Some listings explicitly include a coil or coils, while other listings are presented separately. Check the supplied contents of the exact product before ordering.
Are the universal seats a direct fit for every motorcycle?
Do not treat “universal” as a direct-fit guarantee. The collection includes seats for trials, scrambler and custom applications alongside model-specific seats. Review the dimensions and mounting information before choosing one.
Are all products in this collection made in Britain?
The supplier’s location does not establish every product’s manufacturing origin. Check each listing for a documented origin claim rather than applying a collection-wide assumption.
Can motorcycle owners purchase directly from Total Bike Bits?
Wassell states that it supplies the motorcycle trade and cannot handle public enquiries. The Bonneville Shop sells selected products from the range to motorcycle owners.
How do I choose the correct Wassell replacement part?
Match the motorcycle application and original reference, then compare the listing’s dimensions, specification, finish, selected variant and included components. For carburetors and ignition kits, pay particular attention to the configuration described rather than relying only on the motorcycle make.
