1936 cammy rear guard

[rodney.mccue]

hi I am restoring a 36 cammy I need to know is the rear guard hinged but with a detachable tail piece, also is the tail piece
flat like the 35 or does it have the pattern like the later ariel (1939) any help would be great
thanks rod

Rodney,
I can only help in terms of the equivalent single. The cammy in the brochure appears the same.
If the guard is ribbed - singles were - it isn't hinged. The rear section bolts on.

hi brenton in the parts book it states 1935 hinged rear guard so I presume it the 36 would be hinged also
but what I need to know is the tail section plain or pattern
thanks rod

Oops, sorry about that Rodney.
The funniest thing happened. I went out to check the bolt together rear section on my '37 guard and it has miraculously become a hinge.. I was confusing it with an earlier guard. No excuse but brain fade.
Hopefully a Cammy owner will know about the section / style.

Can tell you after new year. I have very original 1936 cammy but in storage and I am travelling from tomorrow. Guard is ribbed and I am pretty sure hinged but will confirm.

hi thanks Richard your bike looks very good , can you also look to see if the tail section is plain at the bottom or pattern like the later square fours

hi Richard that helps heaps now is the bottom of the guard shaped like later ariels or flat like the 34/35
thanks rod

If you look at the original photo I sent, you can see the shape of the tail of the rear guard. It is not flat. I will take a better photo when I visit my storage site next.

Here you go. A pointy tail. Hope this helps. Let me know if you want me to trace the shape.
