1939 R51 Missing Sidecar Mounts

I am looking for the two sidecar ball mounts normally welded on the frame.
Someone cut them off to connect a different sidecar.
If you have a damaged frame you have been keeping because you are like me and think it may be of use some day, we could make a deal.
Thank you.

Thank you, Klaus.

That was easy!
One step closer to starting the restoration.

Hello Brock,

There should be only one ball welded to the frame.
Picture is my 1938 R51 frame after straightening.
See notes on picture.

Take care,

Lee

Hi Lee,

Thank you for the photo. I will put it in my R51 file.

My poor wording, one ball attachment and one bolt attachment.

I will give you a call soon and you can give me a few insights, before I go charging into this venture.
Brock
