[QUOTE="stevee, post: 90891, member: 3304"] HI Greg Sorry didn't make the stand - I think it may have come from (the late) Alan Swainson or failing that Conways. You will notice the deliberate mistake seen in the photos of my 'B'Meteor where the front mudguard struts and the stand are held onto the Brampton with a single bole on each side - now corrected! I am certainly no expert (and would welcome someone who really knows correcting me) but I think that there were 3 types of stands on the pre-war and post war Meteors - one shaped like an 'H' (what Glenn Shriver refers to as a Mark II) and two others where there is a continuous bent strip of metal - either tubular (which I suspect went on post-war Meteors) or a strip which was C shaped in cross section (perhaps the Mark I ?) I have attached one picture of the H and the tubular types The tubular one has of course straight side arms unlike the angled one on the 'D'. Hopefully also attached is a picture of a 1937 unrestored bike where the C shape of the metal strip is just about visible Simon - Thanks so much for all of the info and for starting this connection going Steve [ATTACH=full]19490[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]19493[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
