Hi again bro,
your frame no confuses me...you say it is BD961P.
Where is this number on the frame - rear dropout, under the BB or seat tube? Raleigh moved Carlton production to Nottingham as I've said, but to confuse things frames nos still began with the W prefix.
Carlton production ended at Worksop in 1981.
If you're having the frame refinished put some Nitromors on the frame to expose the number more, you may find paint has filled and obscured some of the digits.
Useful tip is - numbers on the bracket could be simply castings number from the bracket manufacturers dies, make sure you've got the right set of numbers.
I'll try at some point soon to upload images of my 1958/59 Carlton. reason there's nt much info on Carlton's is, as I've said, people are quite"snooty"about them.
Good luck, Roadking.
