I was under the impression that the TPC and TS&C had bench seats while all TTs had three seats up front. The parts books and manuals can be a bit vague. The manual shows a photo of an early vehicle which has the same gear stick bracket as mine yet the hand brake lever as shown in Pauls photos. Perhaps the early TTs (like Pauls) were unique? My TT has the design shown in the books.

Whoops, forgot your carrier was a TT!! Another question, do both the carriers have their original handbrakes fitted?

Paul. beautifull job this is what i love to see when it comes to engnes DTI guage is a must for any thorough engine builder... hope mine looks as good as yours, did you replace the head studs or were the threads still ok on your originals.

well done looks awesome ! looks to be the same block as mine except mine does not have the lip on the block where the inlet mannifold sits. same prizm and triangles on the block face same 24 studs too. wonder if my block has been machined

The engine came from a carrier and was restored in the early '50 by a company in holland. they stored all the engines for years. Got this one from a frind ho knows the owner's son. It's a canadian build engine but it came with the wrong camshaft (early 50' for a side mount disributor) so i had to take the engine a part again. that was a good thing becouse the valves were bad as well after all these years. Now it's in good condition and ready to go to the show.
I did not replace the head studs exept for one, they were all good.
