Many thanks to all three of you, valuable clear pics and information. Knowledge is indeed power, at least power not to waste money on the wrong thing.
Makes sense that this mid-war model would utilise parts from models immediately pre war and that immediate post war models would carry on using some parts which are similar if not the same.
Clearly a few key items need to be present to make any B30 project a viable proposition.

If it is of any help I have the Instruction Book for Contract C8330 for WB30 frame and engine nos. 101 - 150. The drawings and photographs indicate hairpin valve springs - an AC generator with a dry battery located in the headlamp. The front hub is shown as the small diameter front hub and the machine is fitted with a bulb horn not an electric horn. The tyre inflator is mounted off two points on the rear carrier as opposed to being located under the fuel tank.
If it is any help I will gladly make a photocopy of the Instruction Book and send it to you.
As a matter of interest the rear stand is particular to the B30, the B29s having a cast not tubular stand..I was lucky enough to have access to a stand off another B30 to take measurements, enabling me to make a replica for mine..Just one of the B30 parts that is completely unavailable generally...There were three different versions of the B30 engine, each of which had particular differences even though the general layout was very similar...
I have copies of the drawings for two of the engine types and a full size ex factory drawing of the other...I also have some B30 parts lists on file and a lot of other information...Ian
