Saving Old Seagulls

Thanks Charles . The"R" is certainly a point for discussion . In this case the "R" is is the same Font and size as the original Teaps used . I'm sure many people have bought old Seagulls with an "R" stamped on the Crankcase and being it looks like a Heinzer have dismissed it as such but in fact may ...

Good afternoon fellow Seagullions .
Having recently acquired this 1946/47 ish Bargepusher it has raised a couple of queries . With the "R" denoting Refurbed that an engine was refurbed what would have been the extent of the work carried out by BS . The Engine has a 1961 dated Villiers Mag' , fully ...

As a ...

According to SOS , see attached mine was 46/47 . Who knows , could be someone bought the casing and stamped it up if they were repairing an SD .Or maybe at the tail end of the contract they used newer style parts . Unless some one else has a casing like this to compare .

Eddie.

There are casting numbers ,"e1280A /81A on the castings , same number as is on SD 2360.LS(last pic) .To me the casting doesn't look as if it has been bored out but made as it is ,the SOS site says 1946/47 so yeh my ...

The block is stamped SD12802J which in my reckoning makes it a late SD model . The block is a Long ...
