Valve guides required

Post by Squiggle »

Hello one and all,

I need at least 2 [preferably 4] exhaust valve guides for my 1952, 918cc sidevalve engine.

Any ideas please?

Many thanks.

PS Looking forward to getting the ol' beast on the road and do some rallies this year, before I have to sell it :(

I'm led to believe that some are on their way to Squiggle's engine machinist.
Thanks for the offer anyway though :)

Hi there Rob,

Ray is right but I will need to replace the ones I have acquired.

So, if you do find them....yes please, I am interested.

Many thanks.

Hi again

Thanks to some super research by Leamington Ray, found some valve guides and other goodies form Morris 8 parts supplier.
