PETTER A Valve, has anyone got an inlet valve for sale?

Good news/bad news.I have three Petter A engines on my scrap pile in various states of completeness,two petrol and one petrol/paraffin which are free to anyone who wants them.Downside is I am 40 miles north of Aberdeen in Scotland. I will have a look at the weekend at the valves,there will hopefully be a decent one amongst them to remove to help you out.Be patient though as I am up to the eyeballs in work and play for the next week or so.I am the organiser for the vintage vehicles at our local agricultural show and we are also erecting a large shed at home and a conservatory for 'er indoors.So as you can appreciate I have a bit of a time problem,the only reason I have time to post this reply is that it is raining.Meantime Martyn could you e-mail me your address and I can send you a valve as soon as I get the chance.

Having delved into the garden shed for an hour I have found a pair of valves. Worn but serviceable and I can reface them. I also found piles of Douglas FT 35 spares and another little treasure which I hope will make another of our number happy :-) regards Roland

Check email to see if I am to be the happy one - but no :-(

BTW if anybody is still hunting through their worldly possessions for a Stuart-Turner Type N cooling pump drive wheel for me, I think I have a solution. A bit of measuring and reference to one of those handy little 'mechanical world' yearbooks, showed the damaged gear to be 24DP x 52 tooth, available off the shelf from HPC. I am now in the process of turning off the old gear just leaving a flange on which to mount the replacement.

Hopefully this will be successful and I will not have to de-marinise (or marinate as Kim rather charmingly put it) the engine by converting to gravity cooling.

Roland,

Dont leave us in suspense, tell all please.
