Measurement of Matchless Rear Wheel Spindle

Dear Friends
My name is Kunal. I am restoring one war time Matchless motorcylcle.If someone has the measurements of a back wheel spindle please do share it with me.
I searched the forum and got the thread size as 7/16 x 26 tpi. The length of the axle, length of the bush and the dia of the bush is what I would need.
Warm regards - Kunal

Re: Measurement of Matchless Rear Wheel Spindle

Here is a G3L rear wheel spindle for sale on UK ebay 190988418788

If you are building the earlier G3WO Matchless with girder forks then the spindle will be different. Cheer, John

Re: Measurement of Matchless Rear Wheel Spindle

Dear John, It is going to be expensive if i am going to buy it from England. Considering the weigt. Courier costs will be huge. I have a full automatic lathe here and if I get measurements I can finih off the job in under an hour. Help me with this please.
Warm Regards

Re: Measurement of Matchless Rear Wheel Spindle

You'll be needing more than the spindle. There are various stepped spacers and collars on the sprocket size.

Re: Measurement of Matchless Rear Wheel Spindle

Hello Douglas,
I have all the other parts except the spindle. If I get the
a. Diameter of the spindle
b. Diameter of the spacer
c. Length of the spacer
d. Overall Length of the spindle
e. Length of the spacer from the end

It is very wasy to make.

Warm Regards Kunal

Re: Measurement of Matchless Rear Wheel Spindle

Kunal, email will be sent in a minute, with sketch and measurements.

But there's been talk, that there are 2 types of spindles, but I have only ever come across the type where the spacer has threads inside aswell, and the spindle is threaded all the way inside the spacer, anyway, look at email, and if more questions let me know.

It may be that the spacer and spindle only have threads half or 3/4 way, but it's very tight fit, and don't want to damage my N.O.S. piece!

Email bounced, so here it is:

Re: Measurement of Matchless Rear Wheel Spindle

Sorry for the delay. Lex thank you so much for taking time to help me. I have already started work on the spindle. I will post photographs once I complete. Thank you
Warm Regards Kunal.S

Re: Measurement of Matchless Rear Wheel Spindle

Dear Lex, I made the spindle and it looks great. I did not know how to upload and that is why some delay. See the attached pics.
One more small favor. Do you have the dimensions of the distance or collar on the other side 1. between brake drum plate and frame (and) 2. the collar that comes inside the brake drum.
Warm Regards
Kunal.S

Re: Measurement of Matchless Rear Wheel Spindle

Hey, thanks guys. I need one too, and now I can make my own.

I'll draw in Autocad any part that is needed and post for all.
I have loads of M20 drawings.

I've almost completed drawing all the small parts to the Magneto and Dyno.
So if anyone needs those, let me know.
