Hi All

So nobody has come across these little appendages before, Still wondering what they are for.
The question is, do i remove them so the forks look the same as every other 2 3/4 of that era.
Or do i leave them as a talking point curio

Could they be anchors for leaf springs?? I believe Douglas did experiment with leaf spring forks just after the first world war (around the time they played around with various spring frames).

they almost look like adapters to go from the earlier style springs with the bolts inside the springs, to the later style springs with the loops in the ends. Stick the looped end over this stud and pin it through the hole to keep the spring from popping off ... ???
