Sprite scrambler, location of frame number?
« on: March 15, 2015, 11:32:47 pm »
Hi all

Just bought a Sprite scrambler with a Triumph 500 engine. I'm considering registering it for road use in the UK, but to start that ball rolling I need the frame number. I've looked in the likely places (headstock, front downtubes) can't see anything obvious. Any suggestions regarding the likely location of the frame number would be appreciated!

The two I know of do not have any numbers either, suggesting that was indeed the norm.  Maybe a riveted plate?
I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

No number found, and I don't want to take any more paint off!
