    Help to identify a frame

    Hi everyone
    Just wondering if you could help me with identifying this frame. Hopefully I have managed to attach the photo to this thread.
    This is my first time posting on this forum so trying to get the hang of it.
    Previously I have restored a 1942 Military Harley and a 1920 Harley Model F

    Would appreciate your help with this. I am assuming it's British pre war, single cylinder and maybe side valve ?
    Thanks

    Does it have numbers anywhere on it?

    1946ish Velocette MAC 350. They had that cast bottom section as a bash plate on their MAF (military model) and continued to use them until stocks ran out post war....your welcome

    I might be able to help with some engine bits but not a gearbox. It would have had an iron barrel and head, these changed to alloy in 1952. PM me and I might be able to help or put you onto a friend who has a heap of Velo bits who might help. Webb girder forks are getting hard to get though.

    Your next purchase will need to be a milling machine and lathe, seems all Velocette owners are Engineers.

    Victory make a model called a Hammer - save yourself a lot of bother and purchase one of them.

    Lack of the former leads to more of the latter.

    I have bugger all skills, fortunately BMW's are like Lego and easy to play with.
