Advance/retard rods and lever wanted for SV Minor

[simonh]

Hello. I wondered if anyone had a spare set of the rods and hand lever, also any brackets, for a side valve car, for the advance retard mechanism. I have nearly enough parts to make them all from scratch but it would be much easier if I could find the right parts as unfortunately I am missing the lot altogether. The car in question is a 1934 model, if that is of use. Thank you in advance for any help.

You could try Harry Edwards at Yesterdays Components, he has new brackets, the type unique to the 34 model minors and he also has the links for the ball ends, I seem to remember him doing rods too.

The rod is an odd size - I think 5/32" brass. Same as the bonnet center hinge. There's useless information! I got some over here and made three rods last year.
