Question about 47 Knuckle tool box mount

[oldblu]

Hi, new to the forum but not to old bikes. Restoring a late 1947 non-bull neck straight leg Knuckle and I am attempting to use the correct tool box mounting bracket 47386-41 does it take the three hole bracket or two hole is it mounted with bolts or welded i have seen it various ways? I would prefer someone who has and original late 47 to explain. Thanks much oldblu.

Vertical bracket welded to frame.
Horizontal bracket mount high with three parkerized screws, police bikes differ.

I have an original '47 with Loctite bags and the toolbox mounted low, I was told with bags, toolbox mounted low is correct ?

40 to 47 toolbox was mounted high with factory bags, factory photo 860, 869, 871, police bikes differ.

55tmm: thanks for the very informative information, i will be putting loctite bags on mine as well, does yours have a two hole or three hole horizontal bracket and is it welded on or bolted on and hoping you have a late xe-12 frame. this would be most helpful. Thanks again oldblu.
