Relax, it's not all bad.
Yes the fuel cap is wrong (should really be the aluminium type with wings) Top marks to Boyd.
I would love a better close up pic of the fuel pipe though. It might actually be correct although difficult to tell yet. I know of 2 types in this style so far. Black pipe with metal fittings (as is yours) and a clear pipe (occasionally reinforced clear pipe similar to garden hose) with metal fittings, not to be confused with the slightly later clear pipe with crimped fittings at either end. Data very scarce in this area so anything you can add here will help.
1 nipple in the gearbox seems to tie in with others on record so far.
Tiller grip is wrong, probably the "dover" type is what you need (although data is a bit sketchy at the moment on this)
As for a nipple in the sub ejector pump housing, i've yet to see one? More common in straight out back types as for SD's/P's and most of the very early pre A series motors (D,C,HC) as well as all the A series motors up to approx. a 9000 (ish) number.Then we see the arrival of the "sub ejector". After this period things change a bit. Some boxes with just 2 nipples (none in the pump housing) and later just 1 nipple (as is yours) after that NO nipples at all. Data is still quite scarce for this time period but slowly getting there.
Positioning of the float bowl for this time period is more than likely correct. It was only in later times that the decision to move the float round to the other side became the norm to help with the fuel from expanding and flooding caused from sitting next to a hot cylinder. Seagull manuals will say similar i'm sure. A lot will depend on what kind of fuel pipe is fitted currently. Metal pipes are obviously quite restrictive, plastic/nylon pipes are a bit more forgiving and bendy. (what we normally see with most 102's today) Plus the bowl is the other way around. It's your motor after all. You decide which way is best.
Inlet cowl looks right for this time period.
Throttle lever is wrong (should really be a turned up lever with "AMAL" stamped into the top cover) and not the later more common type currently fitted.
Some better pics of the thrust block and transom mounting and tilt hook with stay rod would be good too if you can manage it.
Please bear in mind that all information is from data collected so far. Early days yet, but so far so good.
To put you in the picture what i need is EVERY LITTLE DETAIL about the motor. Most of it i can already see from the pics which is good, helps me no end.
I think that's about it Spiro.When you're ready, send me the data on a simple spreadsheet listing anything and everything on it and i'll do the rest from here. As many details as possible as it all adds up little by little.
Send me a pm if you need anything else.
Take a quick peek at the pics below for a throttle lever
