If you want a magnetic oil drain or sump plug you can buy a massive range of sizes and types of neodynium magnets on eBay. I have been using them for years and they are stuck all over my steel workbench and racking units!

Hi all,
Can anyone clarify where you can get the hardened steel washer that is punched in to the sleeve gear and mates with the bronze washer on the main shaft these hollow in time but don't appear anywhere as a replacement.

Does anyone know, where I could purchase a rear mudguard and stays for a 1955 ES2 - new or second hand, or anyone who would be able to advise? Also I am after a rear number plate which I am struggling to find .
