The nose cone on my engine has seen better days. I made up a nylon sleeve & built up the missing bits of cone with epoxy "metal" , but the handle does not hang right & there is a definite dribble of oil when the engine has been running for a bout 10 minutes.
Engine number is M163594 with AC pump, so could be late 1931 (RN ) or early 1932 & from an RP I think (Thanks Mr Wyatt!)....just about the time the nose cone changed from long to short! I will have to measure it!
I have read the Cornwall Sevens pieces on nose cones I it is not for the faint hearted (or those without "facilities")
Any words of wisdom here? I have a radiator (advice on repairers in the Midlands??)that needs to come out & a head to come off, so I will have access shortly.
