Hello,
I have a 1964 g12 csr,That i have been fettling for some time now,but not to far away now.
It has not got a sidestand which i am trying to source, and I am told by the bar room experts that all the heavy weight amc bikes had the same sidestand,but looking around there seems to be more than one type and size.Any help or suggestions where to find one welcome.
Might even send a free mince pie as its that time of year.

Hi, beware the new stands. I bought one 3 weeks ago. It was Indian-made, cast iron, and it snapped while fitting!
((I wont mention that the fixing holes were out of line and at an angle).
Fortunately, the seller was a decent sort and refunded.
Regards,
Mike.
Confident, self assured-and wrong!

Sorry about the typists finger stutter,
I only wish that seeing those prices the same double up will work with my wallet.
Many thanks for the help,i was just worried that i may buy the wrong one.
