    1919 AJS Rebuild

    I had to make 4 new valve covers as the originals are beyond use. Made from chrome moly steel and milled on my lathe vertical slide, indexing was done by a large hex nut located into the top recess against a parallel to the rear (good enough for spanner flats) and nickel plated.

    Also the carburettor bore has been lapped and a new brass slide made, all polished and nickel plated.
    Should be able to get the engine buttoned up soon.
