EAA Le Nivex Gauges

And more parts. This time a Le Nivex gauge in superb condition. It can pretty much go straight onto the car. There's a second one too, I'll probably sell that once I'm certain the first one needs no spare parts.

It's interesting that all the gauges I'm finding are in French!

Another Rotax FT26

I have bought a second Rotax FT26 from eBay. The first one is in a rare old state and is missing its back box. This one is much better and has its back-box, but is missing the brass front plate. Between the two, I now have a complete FT26 which is brilliant. I never really expected to find one, finding two is just superb luck.

Other parts have arrived. I have the first Claudel Hobson AZP carburettor and a flywheel. These are very important. I swapped my spare starter motor for them. I still need a second carb, but this is fantastic news.

Kigass and BTH CE6

And another couple of parts. Firstly a kigass. This one has the correct knob on it, not the later Bakelite one. It came complete with the pipes.

Then another CE6. I now have two, although I also have a spare CED6, but that will be sold at some point.

A couple more bits, but a lot of news.

Well there's a lot going on, but not much in the way of new parts. This Marschall Fuse Box is my only interesting addition. It's not actually correct for the car as it may not have had any fuses fitted when new, and if it did it would have had a Rotax fusebox. Still, it's a lovely period thing, and will not be seen anyway - I'll know it's there though :o)

The main news is that the radiator is on the way, that I may have a new correct chassis made instead of using the Sunbeam 20.9 chassis I have and that a kit of wooden parts for the body is on the way

The Rotax Cutout I'm getting

This is that later 1920s cutout which I'm getting. This is coming from Australia. If you have one of these and want to sell it, please get in touch using the contact page on www.vintagesunbeams.blogspot.com because I know someone who wants one!

Edwardian Rotax cutout

Here are pics of an Edwardian aluminium-boxed Rotax Cutout which I have just bought, I'm swapping it for a later brass-boxed one that's right for the Twincam.

Nivex petrol gauge system

Two more parts on the way: The pump (reproduction) and tank unit for the Nivex petrol gauge I bought at Beaulieu.
