Kickstart woes

[lchris21]

Hi,
I'm having, how they say a few technical problems on the kickstart front. My 1960 lightweight restoration is going well. I even got the thing started (1st time in 19 years its run !), but with the new rings and general engine refurb, the increased compression has meant the demise of the kickstart spline. It was looking slightly dodgy before hand, having been welded around the spline area in a previous life, but it has inevitably failed. To cut a long story short the splines are no longer in existence, but the ones on the shaft seem ok though.
To cut a long story short again, I've acquired a much beefier looking setup (possible amc, Norton so I'm told?)but unfortunately the spline sizes are different diameter. My lightweight is 5/8", this is 7/8". I cannot return the replacement, so am stuck with it.
Question 1:
Is there some sort of spline adaptor available that will allow me to fit over the shaft and allow the larger diameter kickstart to fit?
Question 2:
Is this kickstart I have, from a different model AJS, AMC, whatever? possibly that someone would like to trade for the correct size?
The shaft is idetical in profile and same foot rest fixing as the one (broken) I have.

Any info/help greatfully recieved.

Thanks

Cheers B-O-N,
Have spoken to Tony. Very nice & helpful chap. Have had lots of stuff and info from him in the past highly recommended.
Looks like a swap may be on the cards.
Thanks for the tip.
