If it helps, try Dragonfly's parts list on line. as good a workshop manual for some things. Go to BSA shop-A65- then year-then front wheel. Looks OK to me.

Diagram from A65 workshop manual. Are you looking for anything in particular?

Thanks for that Julian.
I wanted to see if I had lost a spacer washer that fitted round the spindle, between the brake plate and the bearing.
When I fitted the TLS to my A7ss I used the A7 spindle, When I tightened the nut up that holds the brake plate on, it locked the plate solid (would not turn in the drum)
I have made a spacer washer about 4mm thick.
Now the nut will tighten up tight and the brake plate will turn freely in the drum.

The spacer fits where the arrow is pointing.

I presume you fitted the spacer behind the bearing?

Julian, you've got me out of the soup again.
I had fitted the spacer, but on the wrong side of the bearing.
Rebuilt it according to your diagram and it fits, looks and works much better
Thanks once again,
Roy.
