Thanks again for the reply
I only thought I would try this idea due to the other bike turning up

after a bit of looking the frame is a NORMAN & I am unsure what has been done to it
there have been different brackets welded on & the frame has been bent to give a steeper steering angle as well the rear shocks are not correct & it seems beyond hope for me to restore but it was never my intention I just thought the motor change would be different
I have had many 2 strokes including 4 SCOTTS & at the moment I have a Suzuki RG 500 parked next to my James  so the hills are no problem on a square 4 cylinder
2 stroke!!!
I will just keep plodding on & see if the conversion works out
I will keep you informed

thanks for the info again
I have a 1955 150cc cadet which I purchased from an auction house a couple of years ago in Adelaide,
it still has the sellers name written on number  plate it say HUBBARDs Adelaide

This model was the first bike I ever owned when I lived in UK & I still have the rec from the shop I got it from in 1962

So can you see a problem fitting the 4 speed into the J15  frame or do you know someone I can talk to regarding fitting
As you can see I found more about the fuel tank, Do you know anyone who would be interested?

all the best
FRANK

Hello from Australia
I have just purchased a 197 engine to put into my current 150 J15 James I have also got a four speed box to fit with it
other than the engine? number stamped on the front eng mount I cannot see what model it is 6E  8E??? ETC
Is there any other way to find what type it is
Also with the stuff I got an Excelsior fuel tank with a hand change gate through the middle of the tank
This is no use to me but finding out what it is off would be helpfull
any help would be great
thanks
FRANK
