seagull brass

Re: seagull brass
The highest usage of brass components by British Seagull was during the war, I imagine not a time when they were too worried about about the exact mix of their yellow alloys.
After the war the bearings were phosphor bronze, the transom brackets bronze & the exhaust crome plated brass.
