I am having trouble with the Albion racing box on my Flash.I am fairly certain I have the right components but the mainshaft locks up solid when I tighten the LH nut on the RH side.
Of course there are few clues as to how it goes together and I am using Don Morelys guide and diagrams of the RE 1950's J type Albion road box.
The supposed arrangement of components on the mainshaft and sleeve (firmly inserted into the main bearing with sprocket in place) in order towards the RH side after the sliding gear is the mainshaft dog, the mainshaft high gear (small plain sides), inner oil thrower (indent towards clutch), inner cover, outer oil thrower indent outwards (If I could fit it) and the LH nut.
Of course this ‘road arrangement’ may be influenced by provision for a kick-start, so its possible the racing box is different, perhaps the dog is from a road box or no throwers were fitted was there ever an assembly drawing for the racing box
?
