350 EW date of manufacture

[Simon Giles]

Could anyone point me to information on accurate date of manufacture of my EW?

Frame No MF 14545
Engine No YE 10830
Gearbox No 13211

Douglas Club has it as 1926 but not sure since it lists lower frame numbers as 1927?

Thanks,
Simon

Simon,

An accurate date is not possible, lacking original documentation. Best you can do is an approximation using the ID tables on the Forum here:

You do not give the gearbox prefix. RG/C was used for the 1927 season and clamps around the frame tubes. RG/, RG/A, and RG/B were used in 1926 and mount on a planer platform. So the 1927 frame is different than the '25-'26.
