Shorrock Supercharged Badge

I'd been following this one on eBay for past week. It sat at around £50 for most of that time, and as usual with eBay most of the activity was in the closing minutes.

With an hour and a half to go the price was up to £70, then £85.

With forty five seconds to go it jumped to £202, then three more bids in the last 15 seconds £221, £240, with a closing bid of £245 clinching it.

Moral of the story - if you ever see one of these at a car boot or autojumble going cheap, buy it!

Shorrock Inlet Manifold

Here's a couple of pictures of the Shorrock inlet manifold suitable for the 1147 head. Unfortunately the manifold fits a little too close to the side of the head to allow a branch exhaust manifold to clear on number 2 and number 3. So I'm hoping to modify the flanges to set it out by approximately ½" or so.

Want a NEW Shorrock Supercharger Pulley?

My original Shorrock Supercharger Pulley is a bit chipped and damaged - not sure how that happened - so I'm getting the pulley remade in alloy.

While I'm getting one made, it makes sense to get a few made to help keep the costs down. I already have a couple of people interested in new pulleys, I'm going to keep a spare one for myself, so let me know if you want one too.

You can write to me at website2008@gingell.com.

Here's the damaged original -

What is Shorrock Power?

Here's an original brochure from The Allard Motor Company, world distributors for all SHORROCK Superchargers.

Plea For Help : Britax Inertia Reel Seat Belt

Plea For Help : Does anyone have a spare seat belt like the one pictured here?

It's called a Britax Auto-Lok and bolts through the floor with two bolts. The chrome buckle lifts to release the catch. I'm not fussed about the condition of the webbing as I'm going to get it re-webbed. I have one belt for the driver's side but I'm after a matching belt for the passenger side.

If you can help, I'd much appreciate it.





UPDATE : I'd like to thank Colin Wake and David Pearson - both whom contacted me to say they had some Britax Seat Belts I might have. Cheers guys!

Shorrock Supercharger Mounting Plate

I got chatting with fellow Triumph Herald fan Ian Radforth along with his brother and their father at Stoneleigh. They're keen to fit Shorrock Superchargers to their Heralds, but are missing the front mounting plate.

Here's a drawing of mine with all the necessary dimensions.
