I have just dug out a cylinder head that i took off a 1275 Midget engine a few years back and it is a 12G940 casting, but has 12G938 and the letter "U" stamped near the thermostat housing
The stamping looks original and similar to that i have seen on 11 stud Mini heads, but this is a 9 stud head and the only none standard thing i can see is that it is fitted with double valve springs
Any idea's as i know some of you are hot on the head numbers!
12G940 / 12G938 Cylinder head

9 stud? double springs? cooper s head at a guess?
quick google kicks up the following quote:
The 12G938 is the original head fitted to the early 1275s
`12G938' is a 12G940 casting, 1.312 inlets, 1.156 exhausts, used on common 1275.
that might match up with taking it of a midget block
