The 1971 parts book omits to show the front rhs front inner spacer. The 1972 parts book (atta...

Re: UK will start charging 30% tax on classic Cars.
Have you checked that the ‘previous’ conditions for vehicles of historic interest will not still apply? My two Mead & Tomkinson machines were sent from Australia under that scheme (and the evidence I presented showed clear connection to their racing success) and then I paid only 2.5% VAT (I think) a...

Phil,
I’m a little surprised you have a B50 rocker box without provision for the valve lifter components. I’ve never seen one un-machined for it.
Have you had a good luck/can you attach some pictures, I’m curious.
