Hi all, Wondering if any of you kind folks can help me. I need a set of drawings for the carbs fitted to Napier Lion engines, they are Claudel Hobsen, cant recall the model number, even better would be a pair of carbs I could use to measure and make a pair from. Any info or contacts...

Ha Ha I've already got one, my son, sorry. Nice try though, got to give you 10/10 for effort. steve

will do, its going for full ndt next week, there is no wear at all on any of the splines and the arms have minimal marking, sadly the camera does it no justice the other one of these I have is a three blade, of a lancaster, it has the 50 spline and that went through ndt no problem and all dims...

Hi, I'm in the process of building up a Merlin, well trying to, I'm the engineer for the Grace Spitfire, therefore when ever I enquire about parts they assume its for the Spitfire and the price shoots out of my reach. I have many parts already, but its the big bits, a crank case, blocks and...

Hi, sorry to ressurect an old thread, but I'm one of the guys who builds and runs one of these engines. I'm glad you like em. if any of you kind folks have any merlin parts you'd like to see bought bck to life, please drop me a line, I'll pay obviously. if I can aford it, steve

I guess you guys in the states may call it the hub - sorry about that. I'll try n descibe it better. large splined centre with machined angled seats for the cones, and three arms, tapering down slightly to accept the root end of the blades. Hope that clears it up - ha ha steve

No, I mean the forging that is used to locate the root ends of the blades, this is the part with the machined section that the driving cones work on, if I get chance I'll try and post a picture. steve

Hi all, New boy here, just wondering if any of your good folks could help me out, I've had a prop spider for some time now, its a four blade, and has the following numbers on it - 49-269 and 56982 s. I think the last number is a serial number. thanks magdrop
