Hi all
I have seen a couple of FE 948cc engines & both were supposedly Spitfire
engines according to the owners but they used the small herald 948 oil filter
not the bigger one off of the 1200 so I can only assume they were 948cc engines.
re birth dates
I have used the wiper motor date for a pretty good indication for Heralds (in
Oz anyway) on the removable back plate covering the gear motion, yes you do
have to clean it first, look for a 3 letter month designation & a 2 figure year
date ( incidently the Sth Oz police use this on Heralds to determine year of
manufacture & it was my idea to boot).
