Possibly early 50's Ambassador, or just prewar James, many lightweight Villiers engined bikes used this type of fork during the period late 20's to early 50's, often bought in from a proprietary supplier, and with "pressed" blades, like yours. Cheap and cheerful at the time, and not too clever then! so by now probably well worn to boot!give them a coat of paint, then hang them on the workshop wall as a "ialking point", which is about all their good for, believe me!

Was reading an old britchopper mag (courtesy of Loonie) today, and there was a while article on building these, written by Mr Desperate! May be worth looking up, or drop me a PM and I'll run off a copy for you if you want!!

theres a lot of reading that goes with the chopperhandbook plans. like any fork you need to work out your own length, rake and trail

Cheers byzmax,will pm ya soon. If i do make some girders,they will be kind of like a normal size,not stretched way out like some choppers have em. Will probably make em about 32 inches long between the top yoke and center line of the wheel spindle,with a rake of about 32 degrees.
