Re: New Project

That's one intriguing engine Colin. It looks so different from other Singer sixes that I've had (ohc and sv including a 14/34}

Re: 1935 LeMans Headlights

This is a very interesting thread! Lucas took over Rotax as has been clearly said, but surplus Rotax items must have been kicking around for some time afterwards.

Junior door handles

I have 3 1927, '28 door handles and catches for sale. One is complete with the inner handle. All are in good working condition though would require a good clean up. Any one interested? I also have one for 1931 which I think is also the same as a '32 model. Just the catch. See pics attached

Re: G'day from Western Australia

Just thought I'd post a pic of my grandson's sports 9 block after repair. It gives a good idea of what's possible with stitching

Re: G'day from Western Australia

The cracks in my 2 litre block were similar to yours - extending into the face between a stud and 2 water passageways. I was dubious I admit, but the end result was a complete success. So here's hoping for fusion welding and PLEEEASE can we see a photo of the result :D :D :D :D Bill
