My first photo attachment.
Is this OK?

I have a rather large box of old U.S. dealer literature.  As time permits, I can add more if you like.

Nice one BT.
I see it has the rigid type tool box, my 51 plunger has the same. Leads me to wonder if it was only the A10 plungers that got the bigger toolbox. I thought they threw on anything that was at hand hence the name "Bits Stuck Anywhere".
Cheers

This Star Twin from the 1951 brochure, dated October 1950, showing a large tool box but small front brake.

Thanks JulianS, so the theory of Bits Stuck Anywhere is true. A mate has a 52 A7ST with the same small toolbox as mine. Maybe they (BSA) were saving weight and cost of shipping to Australia  *ex*
