A bargain and a BTH Changeover switch from Beaulieu 2013

I found a superb BTH changeover switch at the international Autojumble, used to switch from coil to magneto. This sits on the engine side of the bulkhead, with a control on the dashboard. This will go on the 3-Litre.

But find of the day (for me) was a 1920s brass Rotax switch panel cover for a fiver! I do love a bargain!

One day, I will have one like this

This is where I'm heading: two photos of a friend's car. Off to the Beaulieu International Autojumble tomorrow to see if I can find anything useful.

Stainless steel Rudge Whitworth hubnuts

Four stainless steel Rudge Whitworth hubnuts. The real ones are steel with nickel plating, but these are much more practical with all the salt on the roads. You inevitably chip the nickel when you're putting these on / taking them off, then corrosion gets in.
