Saving Old Seagulls

Hi, Charles and Adrian just to let you know that i have weighed the bracket and the total weight is 9 kg. ive also taken some more pictures of the bracket. I hope this helps.

Hi Adrian ( oyster 49)
Yes not a problem with pictures of the bracket. As for the picture of johns bracket type B is right but with out me getting my paper work out i think mine is a type C. if you didnt know they did this type bracket from type A to D with a slight difference. Hope this answers ...

Thanks Charles uk its a shame that you got no room. It would be nice to know its gone to someone that appreciates the motor.
Hi Stelios_Rjk the bracket on the engine is an original bracket for the military, As Charles said this is one of the three. I hope this helps you.

Hi Boys

When I had the whole thing in bits & pieces before I sent off to the plating shop, Charles L came down to do a survey, as there are very few long shaft OA's in existence & he wanted to see if there was any difference between mine & a standard shaft series 3 OA.

None of my gudgeon pins have ...
