So the parts sat around for many years being joined only by a well seized steeing column & box assembly that spent most of it's time soaked in penetrating oil - it still never came apart & was left at the Palmerston North VCC spares shed when I left NZ the only useful item having been the steering box cover and drop arm. I have never seen another like it; an IA 600 part number it is cast from Aluminium alloy instead of an iron based alloy.any ideas? |

Little further happened until M7237 turned up. A very fortunate gift as it happens - fully reconditioned and almost in running order M7237 is the cleanest motor I have ever seen internally and surely can't have done a great deal of work. |

Since then parts to add to the pile have included TWO 1923 webbed rear axle assemblies, a dash horn button, early aluminium sump, and, incredibly, crankcase number M7238. That's the consecutive number to the motor above! |
