Hi all, I'm a volunteer in the restoration group here at the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force here in Pooler, Georgia.  A while ago a friend of mine passed away and donated a 1953 Airforce Simplex Servi-cycle.  We disassembled the cycle and have a pretty good parts list of what is missing.  Any help locating any of these parts would be appreciated. Thanks, Peter
