hi all
was wondering if the front guard fits directly to the
underside of the girder forks part #665016 or it has the spacer nut with thread both sides in between .some pics i look at seem to be directly fitted but my bike came different any help will be appreciated . my staunchins may be wrong and this may be making it a bit more confusing
Yer staunchins is right Jock,there is a spacer,with threaded studs both sides,between the staunchins and the guard,nea doot ye wull soart'it oot,but some here will say different,if'n ye want I'kin send ye a fotie.

i would appreciate a photo of the front with staunchins connected and all it would be a good help as something is not right with mine and i am thinking the staunchins are the prob
Hi Jock, there are two different lenghs of front forks, the later ones (around 1940 on) are about 1/2" longer so they require the spacer. Hope this helps. Rob.
Long for short fork here some photos. Because of the spacer the mudguard and stays stay the same. You have to apply a quite lot of force to fit a mudguard on a long fork without the spacer.
ok thanks for all the help it seems to me if i take the spacer out the staunchens all fit and on a bare rim i have 70mm all the way around the guard to rim or 3 inches . so maybe i just leave it out and be happy thanks
Hallo it is a sugestion but I owned older M type BSA's and some of them have a larger front wheels 20 inch it better fits without the spacer on the ftont guard.
