I've been offered some spares from a J-reg TC, including things like carbs, radiator, alternator etc. How much of the later car's kit is interchangeable with my early model? It's a really kind offer and fairly local to me so I'd very much like to take advantage of the stuff.
 
As far as I'm aware, things like the radiator & alternator should be interchangable unless yours has the early rad with top & bottom tanks or a dynamo. Maybe someone can tell you if the later rad could be used anyway & any car with a dynamo can be converted to alternator with a change of support brackets & a polarity reversal. I'm not up on carb jettings but a change from SC to TC involves a head swap too if yours is an SC. If it's a TC they'd probably swap straight over if you needed. Most parts would/could be useful to you though I would think, especially if they're free. More knowledgable members will no doubt enlighten you further.
