wasn't the 1460cc FW also single cam? jb ... G'day All. The engine Jack used was 1220cc. Interestingly there was a 1098cc Climax motor, but much bigger bore...
So, Gold Seal rebuilds weren't necessarily painted gold. Two more questions: 1. Were Gold Seal rebuilds done in Australia? 2. Does the fact that the engine...
G'day Steve I have seen Gold Seal engines in gold (rarely) but more commonly black. The IIIA Sprite's engine was 1098cc, the Mk III Midget's was 1275cc. But...

Hi Rebecca (rocket), You've lost Colins phone number? It's like loosing your insurance papers! Your question is very familiar. Why? Do you realise how many...

Now there's a post that I'm scared to touch! Murray, how about wording the request slightly differently? I think you are after a blank identification plate,...
G'day Murray Pre 1968 or so, you just had the ID plate, so as Brett says it's OK to stamp up a new one. But you aren't specific about which one you need? Is...
Brett, Understood. A slight mix-up in terminology; I do in fact mean an identification plate and not a compliance plate. Cheers, Murray ... [Non-text portions...
