No sorry, don't recognise it as a head code number...

It looks as though the sender in the bottom of the rad has been put in instead of a drain tap.

drain tap is usually at the other end (towards the bottom hose) from my experience. Most likely is that it used to have the heater return pipe that went straight into the bottom of the rad, rather than feeding into the bottom hose. Likely it's been converted to the later setup, and the hole has been blanked with whatever came to hand.

Hi Bmc will check the block but now prity shore now its a 948.
Any ideas on the head with the number 1410R Unleaded Mini??
Thanks Tom

Take the rocker cover off and check again. There are lots of numbers (batch codes or what have you) that mean nothing to anyone really. Don't just stop at the first code you see and think 'that must be it'. Check around the rest of it (could be obscured by the rocker gear). One of the codes already posted should be lurking around somewhere! My money's on it being a 12G202.

That's just a casting shop number - the part number will be there under the cover.

Further investigation shows Jethro had a heater conversion and the original bottom rad hose has been plugged with an old sender unit.

Thanks will have another look

Wired up a temperature gauge today, had to replace the original sender unit in the head but the whole thing took just over 20 minutes and looks quite nice.
I used a second hand Jaeger gauge and new mounting bracket. [frame][/frame][frame][/frame]
