English spares
June 2011
I have been listing the parts my father acquired over the years and which I don't need to keep my Model A on the road. I'm afraid I don't know how serviceable these parts are, some may be capable of immediate use, others may be only fit for scrap or use as patterns. For more information use the contact details on the 'Book details' page.
Model A -
- engine 2650 - including barrel
- engine - 1168 (?) - including flywheel, no barrel etc fitted
- barrel with inlet manifold
Model B -
crankcase 5280
crankcase 5212
crankshaft - marked '74mm'
crankshaft - marked 'bent' !
four barrels, two with 2 chipped fins, two with lots of chipped fins

I have formers that were made to metal-spin English Model A headlamps in aluminium. I am prepared to provide shells and rims ONLY! All other work will need to be done by you. I can supply details of brackets, etc. Whether you use them as dummies, or whether you make them work, is up to you. These are NOT the same as the U.S. models!
I also have an old front mudflap canvas that can be used to supply a former for the shape. A good substitute can be made from 2 layers of upholstery hessian impregnated with black silicone sealant.
