Now only need to find the fule pump mounting plate in black

You only find the stuff you put there after you had replacements
installed because the "safe corner" stuff is gone ...

Hi,
I don't like him either. :smile1
It reminds me of a cartoon in an MG Club magazine. On a garage
shelf, there were five small gas bottles, labelled .... NS front
tyre ... OS front tyre ...

Darren, yes gramms.
Bloody No 2 has a totally dofferent weight distribution compared
to the other three, while being ok in total weight.
I do have a second set now, where number 4 is a problem. Same
problem, shaft and shell totally different from rest but in
total ok. Funny. Or not.
The clampy things are calles "clecos" and are used in aircraft
riveting jobs.
Cheap(ish) at ebay USA

Different colours means different hole sizes. You can get clamps
as well.
602. - that "Save place" must be an invention of parents or
women.... Not men cave inhabitants for sure.

Found two NOS stes of Ae Hepolite pistons. Down in Harare, but
at last proper stuff in 020 os.
Had them brought up form Africa and finally got a good set out
of the two packs. One was different make, one is broken, one had
bad rings (rusted up).
Still need to adjust weight but those are close enough and I
feel much better using them instead of the Britpart ones.

Still takes me wonder on how far I will go with all this...
hahahahaha.
Having pistons from Africa just for the sake of NOS is a bit far
admittetly..... :-)
I live it though! This stuff is out there,
