Hi All
        Thanks for your responses. as I have not see any of this type of pilot light fitted, so I will sharpen up my observations. 
         Fitting of a front number plate as suggested could be a major issue. Phil.

Some years ago, I had a TS modified to fit a clutch, probably from a CW . As the primary chain and flywheel/gearbox gear teeth etc for a TS and CW differ, the plate had been modified to suit a TS gearbox. The plate is flat and in good condition. Any interest to anybody?

Hi TCK,

I've used this needle roller thrust bearing from Simply Bearings on my M32, so search for this and see if it's the business.
NTA2840 Needle Roller Cage Thrust Assembly with 2 TRA2840 Washers 1.75x2.5x0.1406 inch. Other sizes are available.

I needed to make up a bit of space, and found that, of all things, digger bucket shims come in different thicknesses, so with a selection of those a solution can be made up.

Cheers for now
Doug

This looks like a difficult part to replace  or make since my clutch does not engage I guess it is the bearing that it pushes against
 this is all I have found so far  :wink:It is from my 1926 350 EW. Is it a part that is common to many models? is there a work around? does any one have one?

Yes, it was standard on the late Mk5's. It came worryingly close to the front mudguard on full compression of the front forks - even hitting the front numberplate if that had been fitted the wrong way round!!

  Regards,
               Eddie.

That type of underslung pilot lamp headlamp appeared for 1954, according to the Lucas bible.
Nowadays often see it fitted to earlier models, as a 'style' improvement, or after some damage.

If it all works OK, I'd keep it.
Part of its history, most likely ?

Hi Friends
         Just thought you could share some info re my 1951 MK V headlight which  has an under slung pilot light, could this be for that year of production?     Thanks Phil.

Gearbox's with the 6/Q serials were standard 4 speed hand change box's from the last run of 1938 Aero's which as far as I am aware were the only pre war models to have all three serial numbers the same i.e Frame, Engine & Gearbox's. Hope this helps. Len.
