Radek, please no, it has nothing common with the genuine Butler/Lucas side lights
Avoid, very poor repro. Lynn has got PM.

Stripping started, heads removed (please note my "redneck" fixture ).
So far no visible cracks, block looks solid, so the pistons and valves. Everything moving, will need some work but so far OK.

Again, its not a common flathead, but unusual French, but with some effort should fit.
