Hi all,
Hope you can help.
I have been given parts for a 1961 G12 CSR. Frame, part of the engine, forks and gearbox.
The part nubers on the frame and engine match the log book / year but the gearbox number is a little odd?
It only has M28411 stamped on it and i cannot find any information regarding this numbering!
Michael.

Re: Gearbox Number
Hi
That's the correct format for an AMC gearbox fitted to a Matchless or AJS - "M" signifies this.
Type 'AMC gearbox number' into the search function, (magnifying glass top right), and you'll find lots of info.
Alternately you can get a dating certificate which will detail the bike as it left the factory but beware these expire after one year, (relevant if you need this data to register the bike).
Regards Mick

Re: Gearbox Number
Mick,
Thanks for that.
Not knowing anything about AJS or Matchless, i seemed to have been transfixed with it being a Burman gearbox in all my searches!!

Hi
If you're going for a restoration there's all the info you need on this site and in the 'archive':
http://archives.jampot.dk/
However you might wish to consider getting hold of a copy of this:
Sometimes I find it easier to use a book rather than a web site / computer, to get me in the ball park.

Re: Gearbox Number
I have looked at the archive as well as the forum, but there seems to be so much information that it gets very confusing. It took me 10 hours of searching just to find the correct studs for the carburettor inlet manifold (i am used to old Jap bikes, for my sins).
I will wait until January to buy Mr Bacons' book.
Thanks for your helps.

Re: Gearbox Number
Guess you ended up using the 1960 parts list for your 1961 model ( see below ) then checked the 1961 supplement to see if they were changed.boxie wrote:I have looked at the archive as well as the forum, but there seems to be so much information that it gets very confusing.

The same route will need to be taken for other parts. Use the 1960 parts list in conjunction with the supplement. Hope this saves you time in the future.

The book will help but a trip to the local section would be the best option..boxie wrote:I have looked at the archive as well as the forum, but there seems to be so much information that it gets very confusing.
