Re: G3 WO or G3L?
I rely on My library built up over many years for info. You will notice in the last crank case picture posted, the case is stamped 40/G3R. You will also find some 41/G3LR & 46/G3R R was because there was something non standard fitted. It is considered roller bearings were fitted. Some late 30's machines had a A. Thought to mean Amal controls were fitted instead of Bowden.Stan Palmer wrote:Very interesting detective work. Makes me want to join the prewar group! Rob Harknet is a walking encyclopaedia.

AJS had also had 1/2 Letter sufixes. But most of these were documented in parts lists.. e.g. 40/26L L = 1939 lightweight forks fitted.
40/26 H. H = heavy weight front wheel & forks fitted.
