Anyone know the oil capacity of the gearbox for the above bike?
Thanks.

Bacon's book says 568cc but the BSA instruction hand book says fill until the level reaches the bottom of the filler hole and doesn't state a capacity.

The 1946-55 handbook says 1 pint for the gearbox.

Yep, 1 pint. I finally found the capacity listed in an A7/10 service sheet book where the table listed capacities for everything from a C10 to an A10. The Munro book or the B series service sheets didn't seem to have it, strangely enough.
