Length of centre stand front footrest rod on a Model G5

Post by Roderick »

Does anyone know what is the correct, original, total length of this square section rod (Part No. 042446)?

Or the length of the footrest spacers on it (Part Nos.042368 - Leftside & 042369 - Rightside)?

I've got one spacer 1&1/8 inches long, O.D. 7/8"only. Is this right for the left side?

Shoving the rod through repeatedly to offer up is a business & is damaging the threads, otherwise I'd try to work it out through trial & error for myself.

(Oh, for a Velocette type spares list here with everything set out neatly on illustrations with descriptions often giving actual dimensions/sizes!!).

Thanks,
Rod

They're on Andrew Engineering's price list, says they are 6 1/4" long.

Thanks very much for that, Dave.

I checked Andrew Engineering's list. It's 9&1/4" actually which is what I've got so that is good. All I need to know now the length of the spacers just inside the 2 front footrests on the rod & I can turn them up on the lathe in stainless.
