I will have a reconditioned Matchless dynamo available in the next couple of weeks, suitable for WD fitment...replated body, new brush band and cover and fully overhauled, ready to fit.
Price is £145 plus shipping...or if it suits it can be picked up at Netley...Ian
Everyone seems to agree that the Matchless is one of the nicest bikes to ride. I think they're horrible to work on though
Who's idea was it to put the wheel bearings in arse about face

Haha there you go, they are horrible to work on!! but who cares, once they're set up Ok, they will eat the miles, and without much maintenance, exept the dynamo, but on my Matchboxes that's Lucas's black hole!!
Ron the G3 has the bearings adjusted nicely in situ!
Lex, despite my comments, I'm determined to prepare my G3 for the road next spring. So far I've only ridden it on the circuit at Goodwood and Kemble air field....and quite liked it. It just doesn't go like it should yet. Ron
Hey Lex, all of those parts, the square bar, the footrests (or is it spelled "feetrest"?!?) were NOS. Problem was that over the years some corrosion grew on the splines and the square bar edges. Had to use a rawhide mallet to pass the bar through each rest several times. Lining it these up with the engine plates was the last challenge.
