Hi Terry,

Yes, lesson learnt, never sell anything as you may need it yourself one day. There must be some more in the UK out there.
I commented in a post recently that there was a 1953 A7 with a 48 engine sold on Ebay last month. A lot of the parts on the bike were from a 1948 rigid including the QD front wheel and forks, rear mudguard, chain guard, front engine plates etc (I had seen it at an autojumble a couple of months before for sale). I was hoping perhaps the new owner was on the forum and wanted to change to the later dynamo. We could exchange plates as I have a later set.

Cheers, John

Even though I don't now need one as I sold the 48 project I have got my hands on one via EBay so its going in the stores. The lesson is don't give up looking for a part you need or want, one will turn up in the end. Cheers, John
