I thought I would share my solution to not having a side stand on the Jubilee. I didn't fancy the ones that came off the front down tube. Instead I got a length of 8mm x 40mm flat bar and using fag packet engineering I decided to mount coming off the foot mount hexagonal. I'd got a side stand off Fleabay, so then measured, cut and filed. When I was happy with that I twisted the flat bar to get the angle and welded a bolt in for the spring mount. I'm happy with it so far BUT I've not actually used it in anger as yet, so maybe more adjustments will be necessary.
Side stand solution from AJD
Seems topical to raise the subject of AJD. She suggested using a second-hand Kawasaki side stand on a Jubilee and I bought one for less than a tenner and fitted it to my Jubilee - works a treat and has avoided a hernia getting the surprisingly heavy Jubilee onto the centre stand every time.
'Free AJD' and the Renault Five!

Thanks for the replies, I…
Thanks for the replies, I was unaware of Anna's Kawasaki solution, I will have to search the forum(if its still there), would have enjoyed swapping notes. The Franny B side stand looks pukka, it gives me comfort for my solution to hang the side stand there.

... a similar idea for the prop stand on the Francis Barnett Cruiser (same frame as the Jubilee) I rebuilt earlier this year, but used the AJD idea of a Kawasaki stand. It worked very well - can (almost) be seen in the attached:
