The latches won't have the numbers as they are too small to recreate and look reasonable.
The smoke bracket original that I copied has the numbers, date etc but the numbers are so close together and disguised by the texture of the sand casting that they are almost unreadable. I'll have a look at copying the numbers but they results may be less than ideal. Ben

I would be interested in a discharger bracket, are the latches not identical to chieftain latches ?

Ben,
I am interested in one of the brackets for the smoke discharger. I have all the rest of the bits now, just short of the bracket. Just verifying that it is one for the Mk1*. Let us know the cost of the bracket and latches please. Thanks, Doug

I visited the foundry today. I can get the round thumb screws for the upper engine covers and the wing nut style lower engine cover screw for £5 each, that will require you to drill out and tap the upper type and run a die down the lower style. This is easy enough to do but I want to make it clear you will get blanks with no thread.
The latches for the lockers etc are £10 for a complete assembly as shown above, hinge and lever, again these will need drilling by you and the wire hoops adding The discharger bracket was quite expensive, I'm trying plan B tomorrow in the hope it will be cheaper but it is quite a chunk of steel to have cast. The first quote will work out at around £80 each As with the parts before I have worked the prices out on getting a reasonable quantity made, if there isn't enough interest I won't be able to order that type of part. Let me know if you are interested and want quantities and we can go from there. Cheers Ben

Ben,
Are these parts from cast iron or cast steel? The foundry I spoke to here in London would do cast steel, but wanted a minimum run of 200 pieces. I would be interested in 8 of the lower engine cover screws (thumb screw). Perry
