Hi Wayne, have a look in the archives at www.archive.jampot.dk. Owners manuals etc. You don't say what year your bike is, but you should find it there. Cheers Dave.

Isnt life strange, spooky even, I have just come in from the garage after two hours frustration trying to sort out the spacer location on my 46 G80 rear wheel, but alas to no avail, read this topic and thought "there is a God" after all so onto the listed archive site, but humbug all I get is gobaldy gook. so I am also still on the hunt for an illustration of spacer location, please.

go to the archives

1947 part list
all spacers shown, there are only 4 so I cant see the problem myself.

stepped one in fork end
short one between lug and brake plate
long one betwen hub and speedo box
axle has the other necessary on it

any thing else, something is not rightEdited by - itma on 12 Jan 2011 9:57:04 PM

Ken

I have parts list, the problem I have is , I quote "the other necessary on the axle/spindle", this is threaded and therefore movable along the axle/spindle, which side does it go brake side or tother side? if I use all four there isnt enough room in between the fork ends by about 3/4" any idea what the dimension might be between the fork ends? I am wondering if perhaps they were squashed when away for grit blasting.

The 1947 model was not a G3, not sure if the 1947 G3L had rear wheel speedo drive, which the G3 did not have. G3 was 1935 to 1939 inclusive. The AJS certainly had the long spacer on the r/h side, which was part of the spindle on the early models, not sure if it was loose on the 1939

Rob
Does that also apply to the 1946 G80? Just out of interest where did the referance to G3L come from cant say I have seen it mentioned in this thread until now. I think I will make an AutoCad drawing of what I have perhaps you would be kind enough to enlighten me what bit goes where.

p.s
Just tried Kens tips and there is not enough thread on brake end of spindle to get a nut and washer on. the spindle came from AMC classic spares as did all the spacers.
