Re: Surprising Seagull SD discovery

RE. Does anyone know here the correct name for the Green Paint applied to flywheel?

IRR GREEN SATIN LRC553.
A traditional single part Synthetic Coach Enamel paint. This was used by the Army, RAF, & Royal Navy, occasionally over-painting NATO Green Gloss.

May or may not be the correct answer.

Re: Once more wildly off topic...

I have three SDs in the workshop, and all three have what I call normal Amal carbs - no bronze. (from CharlesP) I have a 102 with a bronze carb, (AD3260), It also has very thin brass ...
