Water return pipes are available from Fitchetts they will post them to you usually £5 postage
tel: Telford 01952 619585
There are two types, the 948 & 1200 are straight through but the 13/60 has an extra outiet on the side so make sure you ask for the correct one

Thanks Amy that’s the conclusion we reached, suspect it caught in the rather pronounced ‘lip’ at the top of the bore on the stroke and tore a chunk off the top ring.
engine recondition being sorted in next couple of weeks

Hope you can find a suitable project Lucas, We all have a deep love of these cars and encouraging a young man into the world of classic cars can only be a positive step forward, the younger generation are the future for our cars so I hope you find your perfect car

What do you think caused the piston ring to shatter like that Any , it’s been suggested overheating but I haven’t had an overheat issue with the car since I’ve owned it

I had the solex on my 12/50 rebuilt it did cost £130 and another £60 to have it tuned but worth every penny but I live in Staffordshire so it’s a long way from Kent

So I have changed the setting in my phone to JPEG and still the website refuses to add photos, even ones that I have posted in the past
it’s very frustrating don’t know what to do about it other than give up trying 🤷🏻♀️

I only know from removal and refitting the one on Mabel my 1965 12/50, about the side tensioners as far as I know they are renewed when the sunroof is refurbished or a new cover is fitted as original ones are very weak webbing type fabric, so cord ones are usually the replacement, don’t know about later ones .
Don’t know about availability though but there is a company in Kings Lynn who might advise
it’s MFR Classic cars
01553 844004 or 07970 785284

Hi Glang, One of our group has had the very same ones in his herald for 4 years and still as good as new, he recommended paddocks to me, hopefully mine will last just as well 😊
-
James paddock sell them and they’re excellent quality but not exactly cheap, I bought a pair about 18 months ago and cost about £75 I think for the pair but they fit perfectly
-
You do have to remember to take them off 🤣🤣

Cleaned up one of the pistons today looks to be original and Std. Not oversize so the engine hasn’t had any machining in the past
