Albion 2 speed gearbox on a Coventry Eagle

[A21NICK]

Just aquired a 1929 Coventry Eagle powered by a Villiers 172cc super sports TT engine. It came with an Albion gearbox which was seperate I think it is a 2 speed. Has anyone got a 1929 Coventry Eagle and could tell me how and where the gear box is fitted to the frame.

You don't say if it is a pressed steel framed bike. If it is, it will be similar to my 1931 bike where the gearbox is mounted on a engine plate cradle with an extended rear section where the gearbox sits and is bolted down onto.  If you pm me with your email address I'll email you a parts list and photos of the engine plates and cradle.

Regards,

Yes it is a pressed steel frame, the gear box number is EK 771  I think it is a two speed. Martin I have sent you a PM with my email address. It would be a great help to see your photos of the parts list and engine plates and cradle.
