crankcases

[Taffyboy]

Hi all
My '65 Lightning crankcases ( a65 dc ****} has the plate at the front to lock the crank to 36 degrees (?) with the locking peg for the timing.  Is this correct for a 65? Or mismatched cases..? (No big surprise if so...)

Timing plug crankcase and crankshaft introduced on a parts bulletin G31 of March 1965. Pitmans book of BSA twin gives it being introduced at engine A65DC 3456.

That's ok then ta. Just about past that no.  . Had visions of wrong cases with the wrong crank, etc. Like  i say nowt would surprise me. All part of the restro game i guess . Roll on warmer weather so i can start on engine strip
