Does anyone have the specifications for the oil inlet valve spring for early 2 3/4 engines - Part number 424.   I have tried to order one from the club spares but apparently Jeff Swan is indisposed at the moment.

Have you tried the new Drafts feature yet? I just lost a long message today and learned my lesson. It is a good idea to save a draft of any long post you are writing. You can then just keep writing and keep saving a draft, knowing you have a backup if there is a glitch. The draft is automatically deleted when you post the message.

hi i need a new set of dist points /condenser/rotor, for my 1957 dragonfly any advice would be gratfully recieved regards tony

Original spares for Miller distributors are now almost impossible to find, but providing the body of the rotor arm is sound, a new contact and spring can be cut from sheet metal. Any condenser from a Lucas distributor can be utilised - they don't seem to be voltage critical ( I have used Vauxhall Viva condensers in the past). The points are more difficult to obtain - they were only used in the Dragonfly and one model of Scott and, I believe, the Trojan van. Similar points which can be modified were used in the Siba Dynastart that was fitted to Villiers engines for use in invalid carriages - in fact they used two sets, one for forward direction and one for reverse!
