if i understand correctly the kitting aim is to keep it as much period Brit as possible
be that correct?
from your posts it sounds like you have pretty much a complete ensemble to hand & in mind
you mention headset to be in good order, wondering if it be conventional cup & cone pattern or one of the floating u-race persuasion
am guessing it to be T.D. Cross model, checked the ones have drawings of and it is not among them, they are probably all a bit later designs
have a Brampton catalogue of 1948 and checked it but nothing there lines up with your set
asking because so many Brit irons of the era received the u-race type
thank you
