Hello:
I am restoring a 1943 Ardie VF 125. It is fairly complete, except for the front toolbox under the tank, that I believe is the same as the earlier Ardie MF model. It is an oval egg-shaped cylinder. The civilian toolbox went on the left side rear, which I have and was used on the military VF model as wella. I am also missing the military air filter that attached to the frame just under the seat, which was similar to the filter on the military model BMW R12. I have the smaller civilian air filter. Any help locating these parts or putting me in contact with someone who specializes in these motorcycles will be appreciated. I have restored several WWII motorcycles as a hobby for stress-relief, not for show; however, I always want to get them as close to factory military trim as possible. Thanks.
