fitting a sidecar to my G12
I am in the process of trying to attach a Watsonian Grand Prix sidecar to my 1959 G12. I would be grateful if anyone can help with suggestions of how to align it or if you have a similar outfit some photos of the attachments. Thanks

I have a bucket load of sidecar fitments (literally) if you get in trouble

I cannot advise on the sidecar set up as the busmar double adult alongside my 500 single used to break spokes on the sidecar. So I fitted it with a modern solid wheel off a Jap bike, so the rearwheel of the bike started shedding spokes. Never sure if it was because I had it lined up wrong because I revelled in throwing it into every corner.

Thanks Clive,
I could do with a fitting for frame joint at the front of the seat. It needs to be a 5/8 stud for the frame with the clevis part about 4 to 5 inches long. I have one which is a bit shorter and it's fouling the toolbox. Or maybe a sort of swan neck tube to clear the toolbox would do.

This site used to have some basic set up info but can't seem to find it on the site now, but still worth a look :
