from what can be seen in photos it appears to bear no marking which makes me suspect Brampton
did it come with the frame or did you need to seek it?
believe the Gerald Burgess arrestor set may be one of the Coureur models rather than Courier
VB give two variation of Coureur sidepull said to have launched nineteen fifty

surprised not to see the clear cable casing with white fabric liner employed by Mr. Burgess
is it the case that no replica has been produced?
is dual binder stem a Reynolds?
what drive chain did you select; was thinking that a Renold with beveled plates may have been OEM
thanks again for sharing this terrific project

Well first off.... nobody calls him Gerald but his Mum.
Second, yeah, those are them, spelled British sideways.
The clip is unmarked and came with the Bike. Like many, it was cracked at the base so Ive modified the action and retain it for looks. I actually have a GB HIDUMINIUM Girder clip stem I may try to use later on. Right now the Reynolds twin bolt is happy in the breeze.
The chain is a SRAM 1/8". The entire driveline is 1/8" and clunks in and out of gear smartly.
