Hi Colin,

I'll see what I have. For reference, here are your Minor's details:

Saloon KF 9596, chassis SV18507, first registered 18/6/32 (so it is a 1932 season car), has 1933 season radiator shell and 1934 season front wings.



You should have holes for:

Scuttle shroud
Scuttle side supports
Pair of radiator tie rod supports
Pair of floor board supports
Throttle cross-shaft
Steering column bracket
Chassis plate
Cut-out
Hole for fuel pipe
Holes and slot for slow running control
Holes for SU fuel pump (originally a Petrolift, you probably have the later SU)
Hole for wiring
Junction box
Oil can clip

Have i forgotten anything?

Here's a couple of images which might help:

First is from my McEvoy (1933 season):



And this is from a slightly earlier Hundred Pound Minor - with scuttle tank:



If you can e-mail me a pic of your scuttle, I'll be able to provide more specific advice and post it here.

Thanks Ian it now has 32 radiator shell and 32 wings almost ready to fit when I sort the firewall out.

cheers Colin@ grimsby
