It sounds like the start of a project to me.  ;) I've a feeling that I've got a battery tray somewhere. Frames are available new and so are cylinder heads now. Go for it ! :D

What's the chance of a Commando man moving into a house that used to be lived in by a Commando owner ?

A useful spare, anyway as it's not exactly unheard of for the mountings to crack... :o

When finding such things, always examine very carefully ?
Especially for fine hairline cracks.

It can be that what is left is what has been replaced, and not a new one at all...
