Very nice indeed - I'll split it off into its own thread, if you don't mind?

I am in the market for an original toolbox for the Coventry,
Now there is a dummy toolbox attached with bolts to the frame,probably from another bike.
If you have or know one for sale please tell me.

Finally found some time to make a few repairs and upgrades to the Coventry Eagle.
Made a toolbox to replace the old dodgy non original toolbox,this is also not original but i am happy with it.
I also made a new front license plate,new brackets for the headlght and a holder for the oilcan on the frontfork.
Because the intention with the bike is that my wife is going to ride it i chanced the handlebar,levers(longer) and a quick response throttle handle becuase she has a fixed right wrist and she can't turn her hand enough.It is a shame the original bar and lever had to go but this allows her to drive the bike so that's good.
On the last pic's you can see my old racing helmet signed by Hugh Anderson the 2 times 50cc world champion...........i love it.
