Hello Gomoll, hopefully for you, our host has a 6"1/2 front hub, that has the same size than the CO one. The sole difference being in the brake plate that is in alloy instead of steel (ref USED2268, USED1842 and USED1625), the one for G model fits on CO, I know that. You just have to adapt the brake plate, as the anchor isn't the same. The ribbed one is interesting, as there was such an alloy ribbed plate that fitted on girder CO, certainly a late 1945 or 1946 modification (it's the one I have on my bike). If you don't bother, apart the anchor you can leave it so, and argue that those bikes have been at least once modified, even by the REME. Or if you want more originality, weep the ribs out and paint the plate.
For the front mudguard, have a look at Armour's as it seems our host doesn't have it anymore. At least wll you find the stays and the front stand. If you want more informations, please ask. Hope it will help you. Claude
