Hi, I have a '53 swing arm Model 7, had an oil tank mounting problem, now solved, but it is missing a battery carrier. If anyone out there has one for sale that would be great, but failing that would it be possible for someone send me a picture and dimensions? Many thanks. Tony Cording, Vancouver B.C.
Tony, This is the same bat…

Tony,
This is the same battery carrier that fits the single downtube ES2 from the mid 1950's. I have a rough one, which I'll try and attach photos, which fits my ES2 and Model 7 frame.
Also, if you look on the NOC spares section under the Singles / Cycle Parts, on page 12 there is one for sale from the club. This looks to be the same as the one I have, even though it is described as suitable for rigid and plunger frames.
Hope this helps. If you want measurements and sketches I can help.

Many thanks Philip, I will check out the site, and see if I can find the battery carrier. If it is gone I will get back to you for further info. Tony

Hi Philip, I checked out page 12 on the singles parts listing and couldn't find anything. However, on page 5 there is a listing for a battery carrier F2/586. Is this the one you mention? Also checking the parts book I have for a '55 Model 7 there are parts listed for the lower fixing point. On my '53 frame there is only 1 upper fixing point at the frame junction of top tube and rear down tube. My e mail address is cording@shaw.ca if you have any pics you could send. Many thanks. Tony

Tony,
In case you or anyone else needs to make a battery carrier for a single downtube swinging arm ES2 or Model 7 I have measured and drawn up the details and will try and attach them. When I try "Add another attachment" it jumps back to the general thread and won't let me attach a second image?
Regards, Phil.

That looks very similar to the one fitted to my 1952 plunger ES2. I had originally thought it was something of a lash-up with the diagonal back plate, but I'm coming to the view that it may be original.
Many thanks for posting the images.
