Also needed - Raditor cap
Also needed - fuel tank
Also needed - front engine mount

I have everything else though!!
Many thanks,
James

Keep a close watch on ebay!
I am sure there was at least an odd 'one' headlamp there recently.
Join the club! and get access to LOADS of helpful (usually) advice, data, literature, spares and HELP!
It's a fair bet that you will get several responses to your posting.
Good luck with the restoration (or is it repair?).
Keep us all in touch with developments.

This might not help - but anyway . . .
The radiator cap on my 1930 Long Four appears to be identical to the OIL filler caps on Javelins (and presumably Jupiters).
Just thought you might like to know . .

Hi there,
When you get a line-up of different Jowetts at events, you get to seeing the differences and the similarities on the various vehicles.
Besides thinking that probably no two Jowetts left the factory the same, we noticed the other day that these radiator caps/oil caps also seem to be the same as the fuel tank caps on Bradfords.
Jowetts clearly had a 'thing' about at least keeping some things standard! If you have a cap that works, why change it?
All the best,
David

And another thing . .
The wheel nuts on my Long Four APPEAR to be the same as those on the dummy 'hood irons'.
Any more 'common' items?

Hi Everyone,
Similatities in oil/petrol/water caps exist not only in the Jowett model range. but across many other manufacturers models in common.
The most notable manufacturer is Enots (Stone in reverse) of (I think) Birmingham. Certainly the style of the Vintage oil filler, the Prewar oil filler, the Javelin/Jupiter oil filler look to be of Enots style. The Bradford used cheaper (and cruder) caps. Enots caps were marketed to specified diameters and thread pithches; from memory the Javelin is one and three eights in dia.
Enots produced very nice early grease and oil guns. Their business included Automotive, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems fittings and many others. Their products were distinctive for the quality and finish.

Good evening ,I may be able to help with the engine mounts, but there are two types as I found to my cost! later ones seem to have a greater curvature than the early ones to accomodate a change in cylinder head shape, could you let me have the profile? Also I seem to have the inner only of the two parts that make up the dasboard steering column mount. At present it is on a spare column. Trevor
