58013 YD *could* be a 1951 Bantam model? http://www.bsaoc.demon.co.uk/1951-60.html

Can you describe the engine?

Is it a two stroke or four stroke?

 Does the engine look like anything shown in the BSA pictures section? http://www.vintagebike.co.uk/Bike%20Directories/BSA%20Bikes/BSA%20index.htm

Not really worth big money as there were thousands of them made between 1948 and 1971.

But there are spares available, unfortunately you have not said where you live, so that makes recommending any spares supplier in your area (or country) rather difficult.
