Hello,
Sorry to ask again but I searched in "The Alternative Spares List" and in "Back to A" but I hesitate. What is the reference of the pedal spring (FT162/1) anchor? Does it is 560/1 ?
Does Conway sell both ?
Thanks.
Hi Michel,
I think the alternative spares list has a mistake.
On drawing 25, It lists FT162/1 as Propstand spring and Brake pedal spring.
There are indeed two springs which are the same but I think the number should be part number FT162. [These would be the "barrel shaped" type with loose swivel ends, and FT162/1 the parallel, one piece spring]
It also shows the pin that the propstand spring attaches to, as F24A. This is incorrect. It should be F41 Propstand spring pin.
On drawing 21 is shown 560/1
My guess is it should have an F number originally, but I don't know it.
It is a 3/8 CEI threaded stud with a slightly ball end to attach the brake pedal spring. It has a thin locknut.
On the post-war bikes this is 560; a 3/8 CEI hex setscrew.
There are many more misleading numbers and illustrations, but of course definitive information is hard to come by for the pre-war bikes.
Cheers, Delboy.
