Side Valve Cam Followers off centre dimension
Evening, Can anyone provide any sensible thoughts on how much off centre the side valve cam follow is to the tappet centre line? I dont know what normal looks like on my 28 557.

I’m currently trial-assembling this mechanism into the timing case on my 28 SV and whilst I can get it all installed etc, there is only a tiny amount of lift. Notably though there isnt any contact wear on th...

Re: 1928 Model A
Finally back to the 28.

Re: Question about Altette horn
I’ve restored quite a few genuine altettes and bought many parts from Taff over the years, the Lucas horn guru now no longer. The repro ones on the market now have the wrong shaped acorn nuts aswell as the centre nut! The threads on some of the studs is BSF not BA aswell. Also the small 4BA studs sh...
