I've thought of that too but it's alloy!

Hi

When I restored my 61 G3 I was also looking for this part, however I was advised by a reliable source that they were never fitted to that model. I seem to remember that they were not originally fitted to any Matchless around that era.

No reason why you shouldn't fit one but it may not be as per original - just a thought.

Regards Mick

Hi Mick, thanks for that. Maybe it didn't have one after all. I was just going by what it came with when I bought it last year. I'll have a go at tidying this one up for now.

Mind you, mine is a superior model to your Matchless as it's an AJS and they might have fitted these as they are upmarket machines! :rofl:


Sorry, I couldn't resist it! Only teasing! :)
