I have a friend here in Devon who had a very, very nice 1958 Dominator 99 in the unusual blue colour.

Does any one have a drawing to show the front solo seat " J " brackets on a Mod7 plunger. Appears easy to have shop make up a pair if I had the dimensions or tracing.

Hi,

attachment shows what I think is a shell from an early Dominator. Help identifying would be much appreciated. Thanks Paul.

OBM arrived today, here in wet New Zealand. Noticed an article on the Marsh 4-cylinder and since I have a photo of it when it was being developed thought I'd dig it out.

Hi all,

The rearof the petroltank on my Mercury, as purchased, was secured by a thick elastic band loopedover a small bracketat the bottom rear ofthe tank and looped under a bracket on the frame.

I would like to remove the cylinder head without removing the engine and gearbox from the frame. Is this possible as I can't seem to find any specific info on it, or am I wasting my time and need to remove the engine first?

I am about to fit an Alton starter kit. With everything removed one has good access to the LH crankcase seal. I read somewhere it is a simple job to replace it.
