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 -
