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.

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.
