The spring fits on the end of the pinion and retracts the pinion down the ACME thread of the pinion shaft. Indicative costs are circa £22 - £30 plus VAT and postage, depending on order quantity. Timescales - 3 weeks from order. Please let me know if you would like one - I will be placing an order in the next couple of weeks. Contact: Nick Coates: 07713261291. [email protected] |
New blocks - E and D types

A message from David Marsh:
We would like to announce that we now have made and machined an E-Type block from the pattern equipment we made in 2013.
The trial block, fully machined and pressure tested is fitted to Piers Trevelyan’s E Type which has now run for 1,500 – 2,000 miles and all is good.
In 2013 we made 10 castings, 6 of which were fitted to cars and are still running. The other 4 blocks were purchased by E Type owners who considered that they would like the security of knowing that if their current clock failed, they would still be able to keep the car running with the block they put on the shelf in 2014!
We are now in the position that we can supply up and ready new E Type blocks. These will be suitable for any E Type and D Type Vauxhall.
Iron Foundries are closing weekly but the foundry we will go to will remain able to cast new blocks for a few more years. What happens to our side-valve Vauxhalls after this?
We recommend that if an E Type owner – or D Type wish to keep their cars running after the failure of their original block on their car, they should consider ordering a new block from us, Marsh Brothers Engineering Services Ltd.
The cost is about the same as in 2014. Fully machined and pressure tested block: £12,500.00. We would like to make a batch of 5 or so blocks – all machined and pressure tested.

James Gunn
Following the closure and subsequent sad passing of Arthur Archer in 2017, most of the patterns & tooling which Arthur had made over the years have been acquired by James Gunn. James spent the first 10 years of his working life at Archers, and has inherited much of Mr A's knowledge and expertise. James is currently able to supply the following, :
Bulkhead footboard brackets LH/RH, silencer end castings, rear axle trunnion castings, E type exhaust manifold, water transfer port OD/OE, horn brackets, centre main bearing cap, rear main bearing cap for oil seal, dynamo bracket, mag bracket, crankcase side covers, bottom water pipe, fuel tank castings, brake shoes, brake drums, rear axle hub spacer, 23-60 inlet manifold, windscreen lock wing nuts, bonnet lands, kidney box castings, fan blade, air pump, hood rest casting, speedo drive split pulley, speedo pulley, rear axle drain plug, steering box mounting and clamp, exhaust flanges
Although these are primarily for 23-60/30-98s, many Vauxhall parts of our era are similar across the models. Why not contact James and see how he can help: he's based in Dunmow, Essex.
