I think it was only 1930 barrels that had the mounting cast into the underside to bolt straight to chassis. 31,-33 had brackets that were bolted to chassis and 34 had brakets with silentblock type of bush, 35- 39 hydraulic and 1940 rubber mountings on timing case.

I think head F is 7hp and g 8hp. I can't see any reason why either head can't be used on the pot F but not the other way round

Interesting picture Tony.

I've not seen the chassis mounted barrels before.

I think numbers 345 on top two rows are 1930 pots. the one that puzzles me is number 2 on top row with mounting at one side rather than central as on the 1930's. A guess would be either industrial engine or Bristol Tractor engine????
