British Bikes / Re: parts for 1930's James with Villiers 2E motor

thanks for all of the great feedback. Yes that drawing from the baker patent looks to be exactly what I have and it will be very useful as I try and put it back together. I took photos of everything when I pulled it to bits yeas ago but as you might imagine the photos did not last so it is like a blank screen. where did you find the patent drawing as I have found almost nothing on the baker frames. I need to look closely at my frame but I think that picture is 100% what I have so great.


It seems now that I can probably assume that my dads bike is a 1931 Model C12 197CC with frame number being B863 and engine number XZ5800. I will also look on those other sites as recommended. does anyone know whether this model had a guard over the chain between the gearbox and the motor as I don't have one.
Does anyone have any ideas on the toolbox and even better any thoughts on where to best search for one becoming available eg ebay etc

Hi

Can anyone help me with the following

1. Toolbox. the attached is a photo of the toolbox on my bike but I do not know what parts are missing and what they look like eg the cover, the clasp or locking mechanism etc. Clearly on the front are some small slots etc etc but I am unsure what to go looking for?? I think the cutout at the top may have been a modification by the owner and not necessary original other than being a space to somehow fix a hinge?


2 The second attachment shows the front forks and then highlighted is the frame going under the tank to which it is fastened and then two tubes going down to the motor. Sorry this piece is sitting on top of the main frame and front forks in this picture. Quite complex and I wonder whether anyone has any good pictures of this assembly and even whose design this complex part of the frame was designed by. I see reference to documents saying Bakers patented frame but whether correct or not I just do not know and cannot find any info.

Hope someone can assist

David
