Is it a cotter pin or splined? Nev

[andyhughesflattankarielpre25]

G,Day Nev,its a cotter.Its a straight kickstart, most sturmey ones I have seen have a curl in them,I will try and get a photo to post. thanks for your reply.have a good day.

What is size of the axel?

[andyhughesflattankarielpre25]

Hi Adrie it is 3/4 of an inch about 19mm

[adrie.degraaff]

I have a nos but is 16.2mm, you can't size it up, only grind the axel down, that would be good if the axel is badly worn.

[andyhughesflattankarielpre25]

Hi Adrie,the axel is ok, it would be a shame to have to grind it,I will try the old one and see how it goes,I will keep looking for one.Many thanks.

BSA's have the same set up . You could adapt one for the time being. Nev

Some triumphs also had a straight arm and cotter pin arrangement.
