Plunger A10 Front Wheel

[Jackson]

I have just taken the wheel (what appears to be a normal 8" half width) off and there is a collection of 3 washers or spacers on the LHS, a single washer on the RHS and the spindle has no step in it.
This looks odd to me. Were there any like this or am I looking at a bodge?
I think my safest option is to get a new spindle and bearings and replace them. Everything else looks OK.
I'd appreciate any thoughts with thanks.

It certainly sounds like a bodge, Adrian. Mine - 1952 -  has no spacers and the parts book doesn't show any. It should be the stepped spindle 67-5566. Ive been making up a list of stainless steel parts I want eventually. Barleycorn Engineering do one for about 35 quid or there are some on a certain auction website about 45 I think.Having said that, when I do take the plunge I shall probably have an original going spare

Thanks very much Steve, that's as I suspected. I'm looking forward to what I find elsewhere on the bike. I think, to be on the safe side and as the bearings feel a bit rough, I'll  replace the bearings and get a new stainless spindle. I really don't understand how the existing setup ever worked - the bush on the RH bearing is there so the unstepped spindle can't have fitted the LH bearing unless there are two different bearing sizes!
Regards,
Adrian.

Thanks, I've just ordered a new spindle and bearings.
I seem to have two bushes

Draganfly Motorcycles website have a brilliant website for looking at issues like this, just go to parts and enter you model, then go to wheels. Ticks all the boxes.
