Hi Anna, I replaced my…
Hi Anna,
I replaced my front footrest hex bar with a club stainless steel one two weeks ago and had a similar problem with the original nuts. I've just checked the NOC spares and they have the correct 1/2" BSY nuts in the stainless steel section in stock part number E4549 (SS2367B) for £2.50 + VAT each. I bought a pair for mine and they fitted perfectly. I hope that solves your problem! Nick

Thrust plugs
I have an Electra engine in bits at the mooment. The thrust plug spring goes in the camshaft first and then the plug iiself. (I assume they are the same on the smaller engines as I don't see why thet would change.)

Thrust Plugs
Dave,
I confirm that's the same on all Lightweights except the VERY early Jubilee. These had no plungers in the camshaft ends, nor corresponding holes in the camshafts.
I suppose the plungers were added in an attempt to keep the valve train a bit quieter and stop the contact breaker cam/auto advance drifting in and out.
No wonder mixing and matching Lightweight parts is such a minefield.
Regards
Peter

Hi Anna,
The thread form on a new hex bar for lightweight footrests is 1/2 ins BSCy at each end.
Hope this helps.
I've seen old ones where the thread is 1/2 ins BSW and 3/16 ins BSW. All desperate measures to repair a stripped 1/2 BSCy thread. Your original nuts might be to suit a recut coarse thread like these..
Good luck
Peter
