Re: What SD Bracket?

For the SD registry I'm assuming the Clutch lever is plain with no 'patent' inscription. I'm also assuming that the fuel tap is brass. Please let me know if I'm incorrect. Interestingly there appears to be 2 CIESS skeg stamps! Good stuff!

Jm # is on magneto or flywheel. Yours should be a 4 digit number starting with an 8. JM8xxx.

Re: What SD Bracket?

Looks like there is a bit of the side mount attached to the torque tube.

If that is a brass carb body then that is a good find. Ali Coolie hat on mag is unusual. Wonder what the jm number is?

Re: What SD Bracket?

Strictly speaking, they came out only with the big heavy side mount, which there are only about 6 known. It is generally accepted that the brass skeletal brackets are used post-war. They, l believe, came out with the 'D'and 'C'.

Re: Boxed SD

A thought. The rest of motor is wrapped or greased yet the tank is not. Was the tank removed, painted and decalled to be sold as ex war stock? It has been discussed that it was unlikely that in the austerity of the war years they would put decals on them yet were any other seagulls have directions o...

Re: Boxed SD

The fear is that a museum would just store it. And who would finance it? It is a later one so I'm not surprised re shroud air intake. I would think many of the trumpets got squashed so a more hardy one was developed. Tanks and decals are always a mystery.

Re: Shame on me!

Yes I've heard of the keel problem. Some good epoxies out there now so might look at putting a brass strip on. There is a wheel as well. I'm thinking a windsurfing sailing ring might work as a sail on it.

AF? I do have a little fvp l can put on it. A Walker Bay 8 correct.
