Folks
I've recently supplied a couple of good main beams to Rodger Murphy, owner of Rodger's Rocket, one of my favourite cars (A June 1964 'A' suffix Sharkstooth 2000)
We have a query though - on taking his blown main beam off Rodger discovered it to be a mere 37.5w, not the 50w I thought all cars up to 1971 had.
It appears, looking at books I have, that 50w main beams were not introduced until early 1965. I'm still trying to confirm this.
Question is: Can Rodger put a 50w main beam on - does anyone know if there's any reason why not with the early loom?
Told you it was a difficult one. 37.5w main beam? candle power
