Hi
Am in the final stages of restoring my 1952 BSA plunger Flash, & have this help request:
1) The camshaft has approx. 3 mm ( 1/8 in ) end float when assembled in the cases, without mounting the cam gear. Upon mounting the cam gear & tightening the nut , this float disappears ( well, almost ).
Is this normal or am I doing something stupid.
2) The assembly drawing of the rear crinkle hub shows a spacer behind the bearing towards the sprocket end. This is shown between the long tubular spacer separating the 2 inner races & the bearing. There is also a step in the hub against which the bearing fits on either side.
My problem is that the hub I have did not come with this spacer & try how I may, I cannot see how this will fit?
behind the sprocket side wheel bearing
Take care , safe riding & thanks in anticipation
