Re: Seagull SD restored
Almost there, very nice!
But no Chrome or Nickel on the coppertop SD!
Get the fuel cap, fuel pipe & the water pipes & fittings stripped, replace the fuel tap with a push, standard brass one, John has the much more correct brass L shaped transom screws, & the drive shaft tube needs re-plating with dull,none shiny Zinc.
Your big brass washers on the waterpump housing look a bit alien.

Hi Charles, thanks for the tips. As soon as I find the original components, I will replace the wrong parts.

Re: Seagull SD restored
Any chrome plater will strip those components, plenty of brass fuel taps about, looks nice!

Re: Seagull SD restored
Nice job! The original tanks were steel of course, but hard to find now. A nicely restored SD is one of my favourite engines
Take another look at the fuel pipe shaping also.

Hi there Hugz,
I will provide you with JM number for your register in a couple of days as I left the SD in another town.
