Saving Old Seagulls

Saw this and thought of you.

Aint nuthin but a boatload of assumptions. You may as well argue that since wood burns it is made of fire.

I've never seen one with a number after the "R" which is why I never asked the question, so it wasn't common to see a number after the "R"!



They are positively commonplace. Also, to bring this back to the original point, there are lots of other letters in use which suggests that in this case ...

The 7 might well be something the dealer or owner stamped on it to indicate which year Seagull did the rebuild.

And every single dealer and every single user somehow not only got hold of stamps in the same font but also managed to get the character perfectly in line?

Nice copy&pasting.

If the 'r' was at the end I'd agree with you. But given the other serials which were created from new, it would be logical to assume that the serials like the one ending R7 are part of that 'set' and most likely denote a date.

I think its just a lazy assumption that a code ending R2 denotes a repair. What about this?

It was repaired twice?

If its right then what does this mean?

Yes.

Hi Andrew

I don't know if Seagull ever did this for sure, but out of curiosity I just tried a plastic top on my SJP which has a mk1 Villiers, and it is a perfect fit. There would be absolutely no problems replacing the aluminium cover with one, a very easy thing to do - so someone may well have ...

A friend of mine, who is quite handy with a lathe, made it.

One other thing - both pics are of the same carb. And its for sale if anyone wants it without the trumpet which in any case is not an original Seagull part.

Thanks Hugz. What a wonderful crucible of truth this forum really is.

Your comment concerning which is the front seems obvious now that you mention it, but most of the time I am looking at the fuel tank side. But is 'away from the cylinder' correct or not?

As far as I know there is no problem with interchangeability concerning flywheels of the mk2 variety. Any mk2 flywheel should work with any mk2 coil.
