Saving Old Seagulls

Nice one Tam
Looks like a really nice FVP there.
(i'm after one of these myself for my collection)
AND with a few spares to boot (will you look at those ht leads with the brown plug cover) you lucky so and so

A good example, a picture of the decals would be interesting.
Charles, is that a hint, about time you tried some CAD yourself, but then again old dogs, you know the rest.

Will hightlight letters with tipex when home untill then try this

Might be a good idea not to mention that it came form niander101,s neck of the woods you were sleeping there big guy ,,,,

That picture raises some concerns in my mind,

Has anyone ever seen a Seagull logo split into two separate words on any Seagull manufactured item?

Must agree there C but seller assures me that it is 100% also i think if i look hard enough i might find another at back of shed ,,,,,

Why where's It from ?and how do you know im a big guy?

Hi big guy just over the hill from you @ wilton (redcar)

another one on ebay now
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-seagu ... 51d0741d81

Same but different i have those type

The Ebay one would appear to be made for a later model Seagull, but not much later.

Whereas Tam's seems only to have holes suitable for early little model 40s.

Can you see anything on Tam's that doesn't cover the little 40s Jeremy?

Yes... Redcar not too far away.
Now if it was Marston in Redcar you'd have competition

He/he i wouldn,t take much to get a marston @ redcar it all depends on how much £££££,s we are talking ,,,,,,

I think perhaps Charles that the odd shaped SEA GULL one is interesting after all, because the second largest hexagons fits (sort of, but quite loosely) the chrome on brass flywheel nut on the early 40s. Whereas the symmetrical one has a hexagon which fits the later and larger chrome on steel flywheel nut. (Was this steel nut introduced mid way through the SJM/SJP production and before the squat large hexagon chrome on brass one?)
This would imply that the odd shaped one was introduced first. This is a bit tenuous as the hexagons on the odd shaped one, fit on the early 40s, just the flywheel nut, the spark plug, the carb bowl nut and the fuel cap. The 0.73 A/F hexagon, present on both tools, doesn't seem to fit anything on the early 40s that I can see. Perhaps that hexagon fits something on the 102s?

What is very noticeable comparing these two tools is that the quality of the odd shaped one, at least the one that I have got, is quite poor, and doesn't bear comparison with the nicely produced symmetrical one.
