Great guys, many thanks - this forum is just excellent wealth of the knowledge

MichaelR: "The thin guage flat part with the single hole tab.... dunno. Is that a lower engine cover panel?" - yes, I think so, but cant prove it so far.
MichaelR: "Do you have a Chilwell parts manual to reference the MK-III series part numbers?" I have just 63/26 from 7/42 and 63/76 from 6/44? but neither covers Mk.III variants I am affraid

Attached are engine area parts in unrestored condition - Im working on it, hopefuly will be able to put some assembled photos soon.
Attached also inner sides of the both radiator covers L+R side (unrestored)

Just came across one nice detail - not sure if I have seen it before on the other carriers. The fuel dipstick, integrated on to the engine cover.

Hi Petr, The earlier carriers have the dip stick. It is of a different style with fibre material crimped into it. The stowage is still on the engine cover, but across it at an angle.
Doe anyone know why the rear right side is vertical (mesh over the top) with more space inside the covers?
Is it for the oil filter?
Can you do a close up photo of the words on the dip stick?

[Petr Brezina]

These are Mk.III covers without the air ducts, so possibly just for allowing the bigger airflow - bigger mesh space? Just a thought.
Will post close up photo with the words later - there is plenty of them

[Petr Brezina]

Lynn, here are the close-ups:

All proper lights now ready, also STA almost finished as well as few other bits.

Very nice Petr!
If any one has a spare pair of side lights like the two on the left side of Petr's first photo, I need a couple. Thanks.
