I am not familiar with the B21. Does it have a BSA 6 spring clutch as fitted to many BSA's from at least 1929 until 1939 including 1929 Sloper & 986 Vee twins until 1939 & BSA Y13 1936 to 1938. If so I may be able to help you.

It depends on what you're looking for.
The basket is the same as on a C10 but a quick look didn't find one
The metal plates are common with many BSAs and are readily available
The driving plate is also a common part and available
The chainwheel is the same as on a C10 and Burtons have them.
Hope that helps

Thanks Guys , that is useful info, I have sorted the friction plates out but have just realized that the chain wheel has corks inserted, so need to sort one of those,

Hi Y13  Alan G, yes the bike does have the 6 spring clutch, what I am after now is either the corks for the chainwheel or a complete chainwheel, If you are able to help it would be great.

Hi Kevin, the clutch as fitted to the 1929 Sloper, 1932 G12 986 Vee Twin & the Y13 & G14 has 6 springs in a circle with alternate steel and fibre plates, no cork inserts. So unfortunately I am unable to help as I only have clutch spares for the above bikes

Hi Kevin
I think the clutch chainwheel is 65-3919 available on ebay today.
