Thanks for the reply Charles . I have been through the database and have put a couple on there myself and I've had a few through the workshop and have never seen a long case one , or a crankcase that didn't have the studs fitted in either . Every so often you get a curveball thrown at you . As a sid...

Charles Uk .
According to SOS , see attached mine was 46/47 . Who knows , could be someone bought the casing and stamped it up if they were repairing an SD .Or maybe at the tail end of the contract they used newer style parts . Unless some one else has a casing like this to compare .

SD2380 L3. The first lot of SD's were the P3 and second lot was the L3. And the last lot were the L4. Your is at the beginning of the the L3 range. Probably about 1943. You should have cast tank mounts, plain clutch lever and nipples on port side of box. The stamp on the skegg CIESS stands for Chie...

Any idea on the other tag with a number on it , it also has evidence of Army Green paint on it .
Eddie

Just got this SD , bit of a sad case but lots of good parts on it . Is there any significance to the tag attached to the Crank Case . Also what is the .13. about .
Eddie

Good evening fellow Seagullions . A question about 170 props , I've seen a few 170's with the prop painted Orange , was this a BS factory thing or a trend for 170 owners .
