Re: John's 1935 1201 Coupe for Two or Four Passengers, RHD in Tasmania

Before and after clean-up pictures of the water jacket cover/distribution plate. My father had this one hand-made in the mid 80s because the original one had rusted badly. It's a bit rough but it's type 316 stainless steel; good corrosion resistance.

The mechanics who fitted this in the 80s used far too much silicon sealant. It had squeezed inside and half-obscured the inlet. I hope to reuse this plate but with a thicker gasket material and minimal sealant. Got an enormous amount of work to do before it goes on though.
