The link provided by Schrader gives you the details of how to make a new one. Here are some pictures of my '56 R69. I did not restore the bike so I can't say whether it is original or not. It is one inch long, protrudes one inch above the frame, and is 1/4 in diameter.

OK,
Here she is....
8 mm x 1.25 steel bolt
17/64 drill
8 x 1.25 tap
I measured and cut the bolt, spun in a drill against a grinder to make the rounded end
Heat with a MAPP torch and bent
Looks great.
Thanks for the help!
Front Air Pump "holder" 1956 R50 (Finished Product)

Hello,
My 1956 R50 frame has the front "L" shaped piece that holds the air pump on broken off. I would like to have one welded on before repainting the frame- Does someone mind measuring the diameter and length of the piece. Thanks!

If you are not trying to win a concourse, and just want to make your like easier, the pump is just a bicycle pump. Many websites that specialize in old "roadster" style bicycles have strap on mounting gear for these pumps.
Looks good.
