Old castings
Hi, I have a box of old castings looking for homes. I got these when I bought a collection of motors off eBay a few years ago, they turned out to be really nice. Two puffins, long and short shaft, a mallard And this box of castings. They look very similar To the puffin but are slightly different so not sure what model they are for. I was told the lot was from a deceased estate in Leicester which could be a link to Haley’s engineering.
I’m hoping someone may be able to identify these parts and hopefully find homes for them.
Any help appreciated
Thanks
Lyndon

Re: Old castings
I might be interested, I have a couple of mallards myself. How much are you asking? Also are they all non machined?
Re: Old castings
The castings look ready to use however I will get some detailed photos to have a look at. Not wanting money for these but to pass them on to someone who can make use of them and again help someone else
Re: Old castings
Hi , is there a Puffin transom bracket amongst it ? Also would you be able to post a picture of your Puffin so I could see what mine should look like , mines pretty rough . Thanks
Re: Old castings
Hi, some pictures of my puffin. Rebuilt it with only a clean and a new plug cable, judging from the piston it had hardly been used.
There are some transom brackets amongst the parts I have See photos

Re: Old castings
A Puffin 75, not many of those about!
Think I've only ever seen one.
It looks like the previous owner was preparing for a visit to the Scrap man.

Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.
Re: Old castings
Not to far off from scrap man but I coated everything with oil to stop corrosion, just need a clean up !
I was surprised to find the puffin has stainless steel drive shaft, quite well made but almost no information on them besides what I found on this forum

Re: Old castings
Thanks very much for the pictures , I wasn't sure about my tank . I would be very interested in the transom bracket components if you are willing to sell them separately . I will post a picture of my sorry barn find
Re: Old castings
You welcome to a set of brackets, there about 3 o4 pairs. I’m in the Coventry area if you able to collect
