Delta engine hatch hinges

[Tatra Man]

My parade is totally rain-free.

I don't remember ever commenting on how good or bad the Alpine engine was in a boat - just that after 200,000 miles, I know how good, simple, reliable and easy to work on it is in a car.

The Alpine bell-housing is alloy by-the-way and probably weighs as much as the average passenger's handbag!

Coventry Climax made good little engines - Rootes used one (from a fire pump) in the Imp.

I have enough trouble picking up 50Kg of Pyrenean Mountain Dog! (Rushes off to bulk-buy Shredded Wheat.)

Power to weight? We need air-cooled engines then! Hmmm - That 2·5 litre air-cooled V8 in the back of my Tatra is so light it has no engine mounts - just 4 bolts holding it on to the bell housing. I could bore for Britain (or Czechoslovakia) on that one . . . . . . . . . or maybe we should get back on-topic?

Just another thought. . . . . What year is your Delta? The Imp wasn't introduced until '63 and elsewhere I've seen it written that the hinges might be Anglia 105E boot hinges.

The Anglia hinges look too short to me , Is deltasteves a glass model . These are from an MG thinking i may have seen deltas with these also :-
