I probably know the answer, but it always worth asking the question. Can the gearbox be removed without removing the engine or at least dropping the engine.  The universal housing cap on the end of the drive shaft is snug to the inner housing cap, so that there is no way these seem to be coming apart without moving the…Read more

Many thanks

Colin

Mine is MUA 735 (1949) attached is a photo of JYT 944 where the edge (shadow gap) of the cowling can be seen on the LHS. Many thanks for help with this. The proof or otherwise will be when I take the grill off as there would have to be a return flange on the nose where a cowling would attach.

Regards

Colin

I’ve been scavenging photos from the web and all other M types appear to have the panel. I just need some dimensions/photos so that I can drawup.  I presume the cowling is aluminium.

I would be grateful for some help.  My Type M is missing the cowling that sits under the top of the grill. Doe’s anyone have any photos, dimensions etc of this piece of bodywork.  I’ve harvested as many photos as possible from the web, but it would be useful to have any detailed info so that I can make one or get one made.

Thanks

Colin
