AJS Model 8 centre stand

[jajo57]

Does anyone know the part number(s) of the spacers used to locate the centre stand on a 1960 Model 8?

There's a document in Christian's Archives that describes the assembly of a Lightweight frame and it refers to the above items, and makes note that the spacer fitted to the left hand side between the stand assembly and footrest is longer, a picture at the back of the document shows these spacers clearly.

Unfortunately, I can't find any part numbers for these items and no one I've spoken to can recall there being any spacers.

So, any help will be gratefully received.

try 042367 x 2 and 042486 x1. Both are described as centre stand spacers in the parts catalogue.

I got 042367 from Andrews Engineering but it comes as one spacer which fits neatly into the frame channel and appears to act as a locator for the centre stand spring. The square footrest stud runs throught it. Part no.042486 is not in their catalogue nor does it seem that Russell Motors have it.

I know they did have some secondhand lightweight stuff. I'll also look in my spares box just in case.
