Please.
Do you have to post here or send me to dinuccip@tin.it a diagram of the front wheel internals hub?
Thank you

Ron,Thomas, are you certain the P11, P11A hubs are different from the Ranger 750? I have not yet disassembled the front hub of my Ranger, but externally it appears to be the same as my early P11. Same brake, same width, appears to be the same axle spindle.
There is no difference between the skimmed P11, P11A hub and the ribbed Ranger 750 hub, front or rear, if that is what you are asking. There are other AMC ribbed rear hubs for the CS and CSR models (pre-64, Norton hubs used from '64 on) and the lightweights. I'm not a Matchless guru, so I don't know how they differ. The key here is P11' s used Matchless "interim" hubs which were only used on AMC (non-P11) bikes in 1963, the switch to Norton hubs for the Matchless/AJS machines being 1964.
Thanks, Knut, for the correction. Perhaps I should have stated that Matchless twins '64 on used Norton hubs. My real point is that the skimmed P11 hub and the ribbed Ranger 750 hubs are identical and are "interim" hubs. However, not all ribbed Matchless hubs are "interim" hubs. Is this a true statement?
Piero,
According to Anthony Curzon (and others), the 5 rib "interim" hub was only used in the AMC twins range in 1963 (and the G80CS to '67 as Knut pointed out) and the final "Ranger 750" version P11. That may attribute to the scarcity of the 5 rib "interim" hub. The earlier AMC (non-"interim") heavyweight hub is wider and has more fins. There were Matchless and AJS models built for many years, so the early AMC hubs would be likely more plentiful, particularly in Europe.
Again, I am not an AMC expert, so if this information is incorrect, I invite comments from those who are.
