To be correct it's called a stud, not a bolt ;) which is perhaps why you haven't found it in the Club spares list.

A part number would help which can be found in the Spares List here:

I know little about L/W machines but this looks to be the one you need.:

Hi, yes ur right :) regards stud.

I dont think it is the same as a 250cc cylinder head is shorter while 350cc has a higher one.

Thanks

However, on page 2 of the link I gave you to the Spares List the same cylinder head bolt is shown for the 250 (G2) and the 350 (G5) whilst the stud for the cylinder for the 250 is different from the stud for the 350. I'm guessing that this is because the 350 probably has a longer stroke and therefore a taller cylinder than the 250.

Anyway, I may be giving you duff info as I know little about L/W's so I'll leave it to those who really do know.

I highlighted the stud for the 250 because in dada's Profile he says he has an AJS 250
If it is a 350 then yes, it needs the stud 044006 as is clearly shown in the Spares List.

Hi All sry for late reply was abroad Profile Shows 250 as we had aquired a G5 couple of years later but we started with a G2 250.

Will buy stud as suggested. Thanks

Any one has a part number for a gudgepin for 350 G5 as ours is missing it was bought with a blown engine and who dismantled lost most of them.. during time.

Thanks
