I'm hoping that one of the people on here with a very early, unmolested 1071 could check to see what they have on theirs.dklawson wrote:The -S would have been a 23D4 without vacuum advance. Standard Minis had the 25D. I suppose the very earliest Minis probably had the DM2.
The A-series engines that I have worked on had the clamp with two bolt holes. Some (but not all) of the early Triumphs I have worked on used a single bolt dizzy clamp. However, I don't think the Triumph clamp shape matched what is shown in your pictures.
Sorry Al. I typically do not repost the same information on multiple forums. What is this board's policy on cross-forum links? If we are allowed to post a link to another board I will gladly do that in the future.66S wrote:Hi Doug,
For those of us not on that forum, can you offer an explanation to the different base plates? I don't think I have ever seen the single bolt type.
