1953 AJS 18S exhaust camshaft needed

so, Arfur suddenly stopped.

Investigation showed that the mag head wasn't turning.

Further delving revealed that the mag drive sprocket had sheered away
from the end of the exhaust camshaft.

I am having great trouble finding a replacement shaft. The
AJS/Matchless Owners stock can supply a spindle, but that involves
pressing the old cam and gear off the old shaft, and on to the new
one.

Has anyone got a complete spare shaft out there?

To reply direct, replace the third letter in my email address with
another 'e'.

Just in case anyone was wondering...I couldn't source a spare
camshaft, but found an engineer who drilled and tapped the old one so
the severed thread and nut could be replaced with a bolt and washer.

Arfur's back on the road....now to find a suppressor to stop the
neighbours whinging.....
