Hi

I don't know the required dimensions but it may be worth someone who does having a look here:

SNAP!!!! I've just been looking at superseals as well as mayday.

My apologies to the Spares Dept - there is a X o ring listed.
The smaller rings are available - the N.O.C list them as 040079SQ under the lightweight section.
Regarding earlier comments why have a lightweight section for spares if you have to look up by part number. As a prospective purchaser I would look under my specialised section for my spares - I wouldn't go to the Bakers for a pound of pork sausages!

Makes me wonder why you joined the AMC club in the first place.

Spares?

That's not a very good attitude towards a member who has a valid point.

That came across as a bit harsh Roy . Having met you I guess that was not your intention but guests regularly browse this forum and if they perceive that is the kind of help and welcome they can anticipate they may think again about the benefits of becoming a member .
Sorry but that's the truth and the club will only survive with a constant flow of new members .
Regards Chris.

Because it's not a specific L/W part as it fits both therefore it's listed by part number according to the factory books. When I have time I'll add the description so can be found more easily.

In an ideal world all parts would be listed by part number, description and by photos/illustrations in all of their relevant sections of the Club Spares catalogue.
The nub of the situation is that we rely heavily on very, very few volunteers spending much of their family/leisure/fettling time contributing in so many different ways for the benefit of members.

(Although I've been a member for thirteen years I haven't been able to ride my Matchless for the past eight years and can do little fettling as a result of biking injuries. I'm fortunate to have the opportunity to apply my online virtual spanners and also enjoy the pleasures of participating in Club events on my adapted modern bike).

Precisely that Nev, limited time and lots of historical wrong descriptions and parts being listed with modern numbers that merely add to the confusion. Having plenty of time on my hands as I recover from surgery I've gone through the entire system. I've removed as many duplicate and contradicting numbers and descriptions as I can find. Added parts to categories along with original numbers where they have dual roles and weren't included. Hopefully it'll all help but would add that you do go snowblind to it all and there are probably still some that could be improved, or I've simply missed them. If when browsing anyone spots errors I'd ask them to drop me a line president@jampot.com and I'll dive in and sort it.

Brilliant, I'll do that. Thanks, Rob.

Is there a “feedback” link on the parts shop? Maybe add something against each part with a “If you have a suggestion to improve this description, please click here” - that way we can keep the improvements coming...
