Just for a bit of extra clarity in identification. A couple more pictures of the footpeg hanger I am looking for.

The pictures show a comparison between early and late left-side hangers. I am after the right side 1961 type.

The early one is the left side here:-

And the top one here....

Happy to buy/trade.....

After looking and waiting for a few months, I now have enough parts for two sets of '61 style footpeg brackets.

Thanks to all that responded. :-)

I have been away for a long time and have not made much progress on this bike in the mean time. I am determined to get started again on this and my 1961 CYB72.

Another frame turned up recently and I had to rescue it. I'm not sure if I want to do another one but I thought I might see if there are any parts available? I have a suitable 1961 engine to rebuild with a newly refreshed crank so it might be possible.

I am looking for a RH foot peg hangar and a swing arm. Both are specific to the 1961 bike.

Frame number is one digit off the frame I have for my CYB72
