Ariel 500cc OHV piston +.010 with two rings and of recent AE construction.
I bought this for my later VH as it was listed for a VH VG or HS but as marked it suggests use in a Black Ariel from 1929. I can find no corresponding numbers in the Club parts lists and my 1929 engine is rusted solid!
Does anyone want it before I post it in the 'other' place?

I think I recognise a 'Drags special' - modified Ford piston (originally flat-topped with 3 rings I think) from...1980-something!!

As Simon says it's of a Ford V4 engine as used later in a Saab, if you want to order one you'll have to go to Saab.
