Technical Help

Need an AMC motorcycle repaired? We all have calamities from time to time……….

A great benefit of being in Heart of England is that amongst us there will be someone who can tell you how to fix your bike when you run out of ideas.

And if you can’t fix it yourself, Heart of England is very fortunate to have John Bolton and Mick Clarke as members. They own WORKSHOP 14, based near Bedford, and are one of the foremost repairers of AJS, Matchless and almost any classic bike.

The following are testimonials by satisfied members;

~

‘John Bolton (t/a Workshop 14) was immeasurably helpful. He is an encyclopaedia of AMC knowledge. I would happily trust him with any classic bike repair and Mick Clarke seems to be able to take anything and make it better than the original. Workshop 14 do high quality work at a surprisingly reasonable price. I heartily recommend them for anything AMC’.

‘I built the engine with much advice and help from John Bolton. I asked John to put the engine in while I was on holiday. All sorts of horrors were found during this job. Like the rear suspension bolts had no nuts on them! The gearbox sprocket was a Burman, fitted to an AMC box! I’d like to thank John Bolton for being so patient and persevering with a job where nothing was as it should be’.
