Hi I am a AJS virgin! i just purchased a 1961 350 which is all but complete!. i am looking for the cover plate that goes over the rear swing arm bolts, it sits immediately behind the engine block. can anyone tell me what its called or how to get hold of one? its the only missing bit on the bike. any further advice and tips on this model 8 would be greatly appreciated!
cheers

To my knowledge they are not available new so I suggest you contact AMC Classic Spares 01462 811770 (not open Monday's).
