[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 94635, member: 58"] The front stays on the front mudguard should be made from just flat bar with [U]no[/U] rib as far as I know. They were separate stays each side and did not curve around / over the mudguard. The lower rear stay on the front mudguard doubles up as a front stand when removing the front wheel. This was a curved pressing cross section on early bikes which later was tubular cross section of which I have seen at least two different versions. One version been of a similar design / construction to the rear stand. Very early A's had similar flat stays at the lower rear of the front mudguard AND the lower front stand / stay, but by the beginning of 1936 that appears to have been dropped. Simon [/QUOTE]
