Cooling system: Special "screw" needed

[alloriginal1owner]

Dear mates,

Finally I got a "new" engine into my Milly (1957, 948 cc)! But the cylinder head is different to the former one. In the new one is a "screw" (please excuse my bad English, I'm German) with a hole, I don't know what it is for. I would like to replace it with a simple plug, that closes the cooling system. In the attachment you see two pictures of that part. How do I find a fitting plug?

Thanks for any help!

Three more questions:

#1: This screw to the cooling system seems not to have had a seal before. I fittet a rubber seal, will that be allright?

#2:

There are five yellow cables to the distributor and the ignition coil. One is yellow and black, one is yellow and blue. which one do I have to fix where?

#3:

Where do I fix the holder of the throttle cable to the carburettor? Does it belong to one of the exhaust screws?

The plug for the cylinder head and which you require is Pt No: ADP210 and the washer is Pt No: AED172. Both available from MOSS.
The rubber washer fitted to the radiator return adapter is unsatisfactory and it should be fitted with a copper washer Pt No: ARA616, currently unavailable from MOSS but any suitable copper washer will do.
The bracket for the throttle cable fits between the large manifold washer and the spring washer/brass nut.
If you have a wksp manual - wiring diagrams with wire colours and to which terminals they are fitted is shown in the respective diagram for your car.

Thanks, phillthehill! That was great. I will try to find these parts in a German shop (Stevens), they could be quicker for me.

My workshop manual lies in the garage, I will look for the cables tomorrow.

Instead of fitting a screw fit a sender unit for a water temperature gauge.

Thanks so far!

The wiring diagrams did not help at all. Can please somebody help with the distributor and the ignition coil? The car runs on negative earth.

The wiring diagrammes should indeed provide the answer but.....

the White wire Feeds the coil from the fuse box and then to th ignition Switch.

the White/black wire goes from the coil to the Distributor.

If you are not to far from Mittel Hessen, I could sort it for you.
*********************************
Der Schaltplan gilt doch, aber

Das weisse Kabel für die Zündspule kommt aus dem Sicherungkästen bezw. Zündschalter.
Das Kabel schwarz/weiß geht zum Verteiler.
Wenn Du nicht so weit von Mittelhessen bist, kann ich dir gerne vor Ort helfen.

For I live in Hamburg instead of Mittelhessen, I try to explain the problem in English:

Milly gives me three wires: a yellow one, a yellow and green one and a yellow and black one. Yellow and yellow-green go to the generator, where do I put the yellow-black to?

From the generator to the ignition coil there are a yellow and a yellow and black wire. By fifty-fifty-chance the yellow one is fixed at plus (Milly is on negative earth).

*********************************

In einem Strang habe ich drei Kabel: ein gelbes, ein gelbgrünes und ein gelbschwarzes. Das gelbe und das gelbgrüne führen bei mir zur Lichtmaschine, wohin das gelbschwarze soll, weiß ich noch nicht.

Von der Lichtmaschine gehen ein gelbes und ein gelbschwarzes zur Zündspule, wobei im Moment das gelbe an Plus liegt und das gelbschwarze an Minus.

I think some of the 'yellow' wires are actually 'white'?

The plain white wire (supply from the ignition switch) connects to the 'SW' or '+' on the coil for negative earth, and the white/black wire connects between the 'CB' or '-' on the coil and the connection on the distributor.

The dynamo wires are yellow and yellow/green - the larger wire is the yellow and connects to the larger of the dynamo terminals and the smaller yellow/green wire connects to the smaller dynamo terminal.

There is one more wire in the same area, it is green/yellow and connects to the oil pressure switch.
