[Fot] Aluminum Transmission

[DAVE HOGYE]

Nice to see some action on the Fot list.  
Attached is a photo of a factory engine rebuild tag on a Triumph Vanguard engine in the stash.  I'm pretty sure it's from a mid '50s Renown/ Razor Edge.  The car is still sitting up in the mountains of Santa Cruz where it has been for decades.  Sadly, it's becoming one with the earth.  
The tag date is May 18, 1958 as far as I can tell.  I have the complete engine with manifolds, carb and air cleaner system...if by chance anyone would be interested in it.  
Cheers everyone,
Dave H.
