Wanted? TS125/150 front footrest assembly + centre stand

I’ve committed to becoming the owner of a TS125, when Covid restrictions enable pick up. I do know that it has no centre stand, not a big issue, but useful for working on the bike maybe.

I’m interested in a spare footrest assembly/tube, my reasons relate to using the kickstart, I’d like to modify at least the left side, to fit a folding peg, ascetically, probably both sides. This gives me full clearance for swing, due to very inflexible ankle joints, I find the fixed pegs become obstructive. (maybe time will provide a technique) I don’t want to risk modding original mount, without recourse to go back to original fit. So if anyone has any frame parts, stand/footrests (+rear folding pegs would be useful) I’m interested. Probably will not have bike until end of March, or schools return?

Any comments or solutions would be interesting. I’m new to MZ, though recall them in the showrooms in my teens, alongside Bantams, James and the first Jap bikes etc, I ended up with a Tiger Cub as my intro.
