SV cylinder head urgently needed

[Ian Grace]

A non-member (future member?!) has contacted me - desperate for a sound SV head for his near-completed '34 Minor restoration.

Can anyone help him?

There is a cheap s.v. block and head on ebay at the moment. Not sure if its the 1934 type. I know the last sv. heads were an improved design.

This head is an early type but would fit if desperate.

Has a head been found? What does a 34 head look like compared to others?

[Ian Grace]

Um... I'll have to check my e-mail for around 6th March and remind myself who it was! Creeping Alzheimers - or maybe all those Martinis onboard - or maybe it was the 25 year old Macallan... The youngest brandy in the Churchill cigar lounge was 1942 and the oldest I could see was 1904 - that's pre-Titanic!

If they're a member then I MAY be able to help, as long as we see the car at the summer rally!

The early type head is on the left with the bolt on water outlet

It was Barry Treloar - new member number 297. I have e-mailed him to ask if he is still in need. He lives in Cornwall, so a bit of a trek to East Anglia! He has a 1934 2-seater NV 3954 34/MS/45322.

Barry tells me that he has now obtained a good head.
