That is a Series E head. If you check out the sellers other items and look at the 948 engine also listed in picture 5 you will clearly see the sidevalve in the background.
The dynamo bracket gave it away for me before I checked the other items

I knew I recognized the number so had a look back through some old pictures I have and found a couple of it at the Purbeck rally and Autojumble (Dorset) back in about 1986/7. I have taken pictures of the pictures (not digital back then!) but they are too big to post so I will try and get the scanner...

Sorry to bump up such an old post, but was any further information found out about the radio's used by chance?

Then they will be better than any I may have as the best I had went into her!

I still have the control box in place on mine too, but just use it as a junction box. It just looks odd without it there I think!

And this is a dynamo :

Not a stupid question at all.
This is an alternator :

The two countersunk screws that secure the handle have nuts on the back inside the boot lid by the lock on the early boot handles. Yes, captive nuts so the external screws CAN just be unscrewed, but the originals had a large headed screw in the end of the square shaft so you couldn't just pull it o...

I have also recently had problems with the rubbers and have tried one from each of the usual suppliers and the Charles Ware's one was the best fit, although still not perfect, much better than all the others! I guess they probably all come from one source/supplier so it may just be the luck of the d...

Congratulations on your 90th! Here's to your next decade of "Minoring"!

You need to try edition 2,3,4 or 5 then as it doesn't even mention it in the first edition.
Mine has a print date of December 1948 if that helps?

Of course! What would you like to see?[frame][/frame]

Richard. Carlo might have already mentioned it to you but yesterday I picked up a 482, minus the glass, at Beaulieu. Looks like it has never been used. I was planning to use it as a high-level brake light so let me know if you are still after one. There is someone in NZ also on the look out. Cheers...

Well if you do find a source for these I would be grateful of the tip as my J4 is in dire need!

Looking AMAZING Rob! Shame I couldn't offer you the '49 disc for her

In a word, no! It looks as if your replies have been more helpful than I could have been

Really need to get my J4 on the road........ its next on the list!

Woohoo! I collected a set of 4 wide wheels for the MM today. They currently have 185x14 tyres but they should take 165x14. First set of these I've ever seen in the flesh. I still need to work out what bolts I'll need for them. Carlo? :D Are these the wheels from Gavin? If so I will have to have a l...

Check the chassis number (stamped into bodyshell) matches the ID plate - ensure a genuine M/AT3 - vendor should be okay with this. I can vouch for this being an original factory built convertible, being the one that bought it from the owner who had stored it for many years. That was back in 1988 bu...
