Aluminium G clamp Transom Bracket

[Hugz]

I forgot all about these ali G clamps. Certainly never seen one downunder.

The very same

Nice early (ish) A series 102 by the way.
One of my particular favourites in the 102 line, and very reminiscent of the wartime 102's.

My old aluminium bracket that's sat in a drawer is identical and originally came with an ancient 102 like yours in the 3000's serial number (3059 i think) but as we've been discussing the thumbscrews can end up being quite sloppy within the threads if its a motor you use regularly. Nowadays a fairly easy fix with helicoils but for my purposes i've used a replacement bracket with the stronger hollow bronze G clamp.

Do i have the data on this motor?

Going back to an earlier comment made by Charles with regard to the CENTRE SECTION of these earlier brackets, there seems to be 2 different materials these are made from. Bronze or aluminium. I think the aluminium version is a standard version of what was produced and possibly many thousands of motors left the factory like this. It seems to follow suit in later motors as well. I think (but don't quote me on this) the bronze version originally started out as a boat mounting (without the G clamps) and was bolted to the transom of the boat.

Nice to see another one that appears to be mostly original from what i can see.
Are there any more pics?

I have a stainless steel locking pin now (thanks Tam). What circa did they come from?

Just been out to the shed and had a look at a pair of hollow bronze clamps with those bent brass thumbscrews attached.

From memory my aluminium clamps are very faintly cast with the numbers ST 1326-9T. The pair of hollow bronze ones have the same numbers too.
Same part number perhaps?

Nice! Is the tiller painted brass? Brass bayonet tank too. Not many of those around.

Yep,very nice condition this one.
Most of it seems ok to me.
