Well I have finally managed to catch out most of you who tried to answer last weeks quiz. I asked you to identify the item AND the make. Lots correctly identified it as a magneto platform but either they didn't specify the make or wrongly identifed it as for a front mounted mag. The item was a mag platform for Matchless only with the magneto mounted behind barrel, to 1952 I think. The front mounted mag platform has the brackets at the ends of the platform with spacers behind, the advantage being you can remove the mag without taking the inner timing case off (grumbling voice of experience here, conversion of one bike to front mounted explains how I came to take the photo). I think this weeks photo will be easier but I am hoping to catch many out with the Xmas week item.
Finally many thanks to Paul Guse for his recent offering. Actually I think it was just too difficult Paul but I have cut out a picture from the larger photo you sent which shows a bit more. I tried to send a PM to thank you but my alias identity doesn't seem to allow me to do this. Your picture won't appear until around Easter though, as I had just loaded more pictures. If anyone else has a challenging picture please use the link on the quiz web page to send it in.
