Hello,
I have a 1937 chassis which appears to have been modified to allow it to sit much lower than it would normally, obviously with flattened springs. The bush connector has a lowered three rivet fitting, I wondered if this was particular to a model or likely a racing modification? Other than the chassis register, is there any other way of finding how a chassis number (2708**) may have been registered? Do the 750mc keep a record of chassis numbers for instance? Is there anywhere else I could look?
It was bought earlier this year from eBay along with a few other parts, previously in the collection of a Dr Holmes - Pickering. I have little history other than this. It's been known as a chassis in this state since 1970 at least.
My intention was to return the car to the road but not sure if I would have to remove this fitting and replace it with the correct 4 bolt bush connector to pass an inspection. Is it even worth trying to build a special now?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Chris
