Saving Old Seagulls

Lining up projects for 2024.....I have a few.

Question is.....what transom bracket goes with this engine S.D5420.L.3?

Needs to be in one assembly again.

Should see enough for the Hugz lists aye.

Strictly speaking, they came out only with the big heavy side mount, which there are only about 6 known. It is generally accepted that the brass skeletal brackets are used post-war. They, l believe, came out with the 'D'and 'C'.

Looks like there is a bit of the side mount attached to the torque tube.

If that is a brass carb body then that is a good find. Ali Coolie hat on mag is unusual. Wonder what the jm number is?

Thanks for that Hugo.

Yes brass carb body.

The hat can be changed to copper if required.

I always forget JM numbers?

So, as Hugo says the big steel side mount, but they are very rare. I've been looking for one for 10 years! Early post war for a short period was the so called "Skeletal" then the beefed up bracket with the firstly alloy, then bronze clamps we know and love.

Cash waiting for a original side mount bracket!

Jm # is on magneto or flywheel. Yours should be a 4 digit number starting with an 8. JM8xxx.

For the SD registry I'm assuming the Clutch lever is plain with no 'patent' inscription. I'm also assuming that the fuel tap is brass. Please let me know if I'm incorrect. Interestingly there appears to be 2 CIESS skeg stamps! Good stuff!

The clutch lever is indeed plain.

Close up of stamps and pic of fuel tap.

Thanks! Never seen double stamp. Be a story behind that.
