This page records my progress with the restoration of my 1941 Harley-Davidson WL - this H-D was used by the Union Defence Force of South Africa in World War 2. The SAUDF acquired around 4,500 motorcycles from the US War Department mid-1940 and they were used in the East Africa Campaign, the Madagascar Campaign and the North Africa Campaign.

Fitting the 1941 Only Toolbox Bracket
Hi
According to Palmer, the 1941 WL's were fitted with a 1941 only toolbox bracket. Here is a photo of the one on my WL.
A 1941-only toolbox mounting bracket for a Harley 45 came up for sale on eBay today. This is the first time that I have seen such a toolbox mounting bracket come up for sale in the 2 years that I have been watching eBay for WL and WLA parts. And it comfirms that the one on my bike is period-correct.
