39zep

Wore out three sets of tires already!
Trying to do some research on this New Departure Shifter. Looks to me like a center plate and longer shifter screw. The fact that this is a model specific adapter is very cool. I was told that there was a shifter adapted to a hex tube. I also included an ad that shows the shifter and pulley clamps that wrap the whole tube. Any info on these adaptations would be greatly appreciated. If this is covered material please point me to the post.
If anyone happens to have one of the adapters for the 39 Zep. Please see my post in the wanted section.
Thanks!

Definitely, an unusual application there.
The version shown in the posted advertisement was the first year 1938 DD kit.
I've seen a version that was made to clamp around the small diameter tubing of an Elgin Twin Bar.
 
Hawthorne Zep/and special other twin bar types specific.

No picture credit btw your bike?

Looks pretty easy to make out of std clamshells.
