BSA Front forks - 67-5566 - I am so confused

[Barrieh]

I am so confused... I needed to get a new front spindle for my 1955 BSA M33 Plunger... ex Burma bike...

The old spindle had been shaved down so it just slotted through. (probably hammered in and out regularly!

I checked the thread on the fork leg and it looks okay... I then ordered a new stainless steel spindle but it noted Left hand thread.

I popped the _rear_ QD hub spindle through the front to determine / double check it would not fit...right hand thread... but it fits in the front right hand threaded... screws in nice and tight...

Any ideas or suggestions please thanks Hamish

The BSA forks that have the single sided front brake be it 7 inch, 8 inch or 190mm the offside leg is always left hand thread. It would seem that someone has retapped yours.

I feared you would say that honestly 2 steps forward, 1 step back with this old bike.

Does anyone have a spare floating around I could buy? Its either that or repair this one...

Thanks
