Reinstating Valve Lifter for AJS Model 8

[LynP]

Hi Bill. I am pretty sure that the rocker box I bought for by mistake for my G3 is for a 350 lightweight. I will have look later and if you like I can post a picture for you to see if it's what you need, I seem to remember it's very dirty. LynP

.......trying to find a replacement rocker box, they are like hen's teeth.

Have you asked Steven at AMC Classic Spares?

Hi SPRIDDLER,

I tried Steve a while ago. He didn't have any and wasn't optimistic. I've checked his second hand spares listing again and it shows up as you mentioned, so I've sent him an email.

Thanks,

Bill.

Hi LynP

That would be very helpful, thank you. Hopefully, this photo shows the problem with the drilled/tapped hole where the valve lifter should be.

Regards,

Bill.

Hi Andy51,

I tried to send you a PM but I think it failed. Could you please let me know if it arrived?

Regards,

Bill.

Hi Bill, sorry so long getting back, did not find the rocker box today I know its there I'll dig deeper tomorrow. PM didn't get to me.

Hi again Bill, got the rockerbox out. I am going to try to send you a private message with pictures this afternoon. (I haven't sent pictures on private messages before so wish me luck!) LynP

If you don't manage to get a replacement cover, or even if you do, a piece of aluminium hex bar drilled to match the lifter and threaded to match the hole could be screwed into place and the hex cut off flush. Simples.

Hi LynP,

I've received your pictures and the rocker box looks fine and should be just what I need. I'm trying to reply by PM. I hope it works.

Thanks,

Bill.
