Bought 2 lovely Raleigh Lady Sports bike in Craigslist. Missing indicator spindles.
This blue one is the Raleigh, Lady Sports, 1970 Sturmey Archer AW Hub. I'm still a newbie of figuring bikes. I found these 2 Raleigh bikes from Craigslist. I think is rare to find one in maybe 80% mint condition. It has the R logos, double "Sports" letterings 99% mint, etc. I do hope nothing is broken in the inside of the Hubs.
Both are AW Sturmey Archer Hubs (about 26" inch wheels).
I'm really confused as to which indicator spindles I need:
Gear Indicator R.H. for 146 mm(5 3/4") Axle (1 Mark)
or......
Gear Indicator R.H. for 163 mm(6 13/32") Axle (11 Mark)
Going to figure the blue bike first. The other one is the red one (1969) which I haven't taken a pic. It's missing some things.
Thanks.

Measure the overall axle length, then you will know which indicator you need. Most of the AW hubs are typically the 5-3/4" axle, the 6-1/4" axle was primarily used for the AG hubs or the drum brake hubs.
