Hi, really heavy hand brush paint on these two pieces, but I was trying to figure out if the back piece was originally part of a complete fender. The flat raised portion in the middle is not like the usual rib found in BSAs. The rear plate support reminds me of the Norton B4 sidecar ID location. The back piece was attached via a non original swivel to a fender with valances on both sides. It looked like the early BSA valanced fender with the exception of that raised flat section. Thanks for any comments provided
Henri there are differences in width between these fenders for the lightweight and heavyweight Triumphs. No valances pre-war on Speedtwin's. Not until those horrible Bathtub models of the 60's Ron
Thanks to your responses I was able to joggle my brain and remember that in the parts catalogue of 1939, there was a section with extra fittings. See the valanced mudguards available for that year. I am going to need to do some serious metal repairs on that mudguard. I don't think that there was a separate tail piece as it is not listed in the catalogue. Thanks again and thanks Henk for this great forum
If you click on the photo, you will see 5T included in the valanced mudguards.
You are quite right Henri. I have the 1938 list which I haven't looked at for ages and can now remember those extra parts. But I can't think that I've ever seen them fitted. They do have a drop of tail piece though. It's actually mentioned in that last picture I posted. Ron
