Wanted A7 centre stand

[TT John]

Hello all.

I'm in the desperately in need of a centre stand for a BSA A7 that I am refurbishing, so if you have a spare one kicking about under the bench, or hanging up  in the workshop please call me on # or PM me.

Many thanks in advance

 Do you want an early one, like the stump-jump plough that I know nothing about, or a later pivoting one...?

[TT John]

Hello Dutch.

Yes, I require the pivoting one for a 1954 S/A A7, not quite sure what you mean about the stump jump plough job.

Hi TT John,
I'mm not 100% sure but I think the 54/55 "A" uses the same stand as the B series and Gold Stars?
If this is the case Autocycle Engineering in Dudley had a huge pile of  them on the shop floor when I visited in April
Chris Williams gets his parts made locally and doesn't entertain "forrin crap"

HTH

Quite correct John, I phoned them and got the stand plus rod, nuts and spacer for just under£100.
Thanks mate.

Hi TT
 
Did you tell CW who sent you??

 TT-John, I'd forgotten where this post was, but figured it'd turn up....The "Do you want an early one, like the stump-jump plough that I know nothing about,....." is by my understanding from the first of the A7 'Vertical Twin' I thought '46, but there seems to be some dispute over the year... It's the stand that apparently telescopes up into the frame downtube and is held by some kind of flimsy catch setup that reputedly could come loose and the stand drop down and drag on the ground, kinda like a plough share, and cause stability issues  ;-
