Rear number plate mount

Hi Paul,

This is a specific part to 1955 models and 'rare' should be replaced with 'rocking horse poo'; they are completely unobtainable anywhere. I know, I looked (and still am looking) for over three years trawling jumbles though one did turn up in the states but shipping it to the UK with the remains of a very late 55/very, very early 56model mudguard would have been way too expensive.

Do you have a better photo? That looks suspiciously like the one (the wrong one I know) on the back of my 1963 88SS. The top of mine has a fold but not a rib.

I keep prominsing myself I shall find the correct one someday. I always thought is was foreign (maybe BSA...)

If mine really is BSA then maybe it's easier to find by looking for something so nearly the same but not really Norton.

I think I've attached a picture.

Hi Paul,

The only option is to alter a BSA type and it still may not look right. David, that looks like a BSA type and I've attached aside viewofan original 55 rear number plate.

Hi Paul,

About four and a half years ago the NOC DID have some made but surprise, surprise they never bothered to restock. Perhaps NOW would be a good time for them to do so? The mudguards too, anything is better than that utter crap coming in from India.

The featherbed and Commando club strikes again....
