    Battery carrier and air filter assembly are rare these days, a temporary construction for now will do until one turns up. Bike will run without a battery if the magneto is  being retained for ignition.

   Longstroke type carrier fits the frame but rubber connection to the carb is different, as is the position, size and shape of the hole, all explained by Jens. I notice the bike has a later front mudguard and the later wide fin barrel and cylinder head, so worth checking frame and engine numbers for actual model year. You may find inside the motor is more good news as regards later parts.

 Footrests are a plain taper fitting, left side mounting is a left hand thread, so needs correct stud into the frame, along with the correct L/H thread retaining nut. Lucky fella, you have it.

 With siamese exhaust pipe it could have been a sidecar bike, with a lower top speed. Count the teeth on the rear sprocket. 49 for sidecar, but 42 teeth used on solo bikes.

Heiko, I have an air filter assembly you can have, but we'd need to know if it's right for your bike.
Have you got the air filter? Maybe it's just the battery carrier you need?
Does anyone know if the air filters are the same across swing arm bikes and Heiko's bike?

 Jules, the carrier assembly used on S/A bikes is completely different.

    Plunger assembly is a battery platform backed with the filter box which fits neatly in the gap between the frame tube and rear mudguard. Filter is a corrugated felt element shaped to fit, on a metal backing plate.  This is retained by three or (later models) four screws. Whole thing has to come off to clean the filter, so often neglected if you are lucky to find one.

Obviously, an incredible bargain. Congrats. Doesn’t mean you won’t put several times that in it getting it just like you want it. On the other hand, it does have a lot of survivor qualities to it that could be left alone for originality, which may save a lot of money spent on beautification. One thing worth noting, it looks like it has the original chronometric speedo, which, alone, may be worth three times what you paid for the whole bike.

Good morning,

@Swarfy:

Yes, a sidecar was fitted and also the frame and the engine number matches for a 1954 model.

I don‘t want to built a show bike. Just fixing the technical things, also electric wiring and changing a few loveless fitted nuts and bolts.

Thank‘s for your input.

 Nuts and bolts....BSA used Whitworth and British Cycle Thread so unless you already have them, a couple of Whitworth Spanners will make life easier. Non of your metric stuff will fit.  Use the nut and bolt chart in the Forum Literature section to identify the nuts and bolts, along with a  Draganfly's online catalogues.  A modern reprint of a  Parts Book for your model is also worth getting.
