Splash cover as found in the parts box, no clue if it´s original or how it is mounted:

Battery mounting:

Rectifier original mounting position:

I guess it is fixed under the tool tray, could not find any other plausible location:

There goes a rubber pad between the centre frame section and the oil tank No 21975,

Pos.G90 in the 1959 parts list showing the frame parts. (Missing in my case)

You can see the imprints of that pad on the front side of my oil tank:

Other details as demanded by Peter Holland will follow.

Hope it helps!

There are two splash covers, made from a tough version of cardboard, which have the look  of the one you show (your picture 6).

One is at the bottom & forward of the 'U' section channel. It is held in place by bolts through the two holes at the bottom of the 'U' channel - just out of shot on bottom right of your picture 5. These bolts also hold the centre stand stop.

The other splash cover is larger, placed in front of the half mudguard under the seat, and its job is to prevent mud & stuff being thrown forward. I have one, but have yet to dismantle the bike its on. Logically, it fits around the chainguard and curves up around (& under) the tool tray.

Yours looks like the right colour & material - but it may have been 'modified'?

Ref the fibreboard splashguards.   It would seem possible  to make new ones from thin alloy sheet or mould with fibreglass matt and resin. A similar thing was fitted to the DL Dommies and I have made a replacement out of rubber from an innertube ,, could have used an old car  mudflap or similar material like a car undertray (seen regularly by the roadside!).

I made a new lower splash guard from 5mm plastic, bent the fixing hole ends with local heat - beauty of it is it won’t rot away! Luckily I had the original as a pattern

Bike was originally imported to Germany when new so an additional identifiaction plate was riveted below the frame number:

 Still a mystery to me : where is the splash guard mounted?

Mine is brittle and can´t be bend anymore.

Ulrich, thank you. You have a remarkably good specimen of a very early Jubilee Deluxe. I struggled to dismantle a very corroded Jubilee Deluxe frame and eventually gave up and added it to the recycling bin. The rear suspension/seat mount bolts were absolutely solid in the top suspension bush. And of course the bush rotated with the bolt.

I can confirm that the square rectifier was attached under the tool tray in my kit of parts. Two wrongs don't make a right, but I haven't heard any other suggestions for the original mount for the square rectifier.

Thank you for taking time to post the answer to queries that arise regularly. Very few examples as good as yours. And in a state to be photographed.

The square rectifier here is best thrown away! Replace with an encapsulated unit (I sell) or even a traditional black Lucas one if you have a good one. Or of course go to 12V with a regulator/rectifier and of course electronic ignition. Retain the two original 6V Wipac ignition coils if you have them. The Wipac alternator will go to 12V.

This picture shows the location of the tyre pump in the right side panel of the rear fairing.

Besides that: The quarter turn fastener at the rear is longer than the two at the front of the panel.
