Scott rear stand 1949/50

Hi All

Does anyone know the thread size for the rear stand as I have just had the frame resprayed and need to tap these out again. All the taps I have do not seem to fit. I do not have the original bolts either. There is also a bush that the bolt goes through at it appears that I only have one, does any one have a spare? I could buy…..

Hi, I’m a bit puzzled…. By 1949/50 they were fitted with a roll-on centre stand. Is that what you mean rather than ‘rear stand’ ?

You ought to be coming to our Eastern Section Meetings every second Sunday of the month ! Nudge, nudge……

Hi.

Yes it is the rolling stand, only there is the motor bike show on tomorrow at Newark show ground so I was hoping to get the correct bolts…. I had the flu last time the meeting was on so hopefully this month I will make it…..

Ian,

On mine the nearside fixing is a nut and bolt.
The offside is 5/16 BSF into the frame.

The spacer is a simple top hat that is slightly wider than the stand casting.
The idea is that the spacer is clamped firmly to the frame and the stand pivots on the spacer.

Ken Lack made up my stand for me from spares scheme castings and machined new spacers to suit.
He also supplied the 2 bolts and a nut so I assume that was standard.

However, as I have found out, “standard” is a very loose term when dealing with Scotts.
Especially when dealing with the very last bikes they produced where it seems anything at hand was used to get another unit finished.

Regards
Steve

Thank you Steve

I will order a 5/16 s tape and look for a nut and bolt tomorrow at the Newark show ground.
