Title: Inverted levers
Post by: phutton on August 19, 2022, 01:05:26 PM
Can anyone tell me whether the inverted levers for 1932-35 were longer than the earlier ones? The Club stocks the earlier ones, but should we be looking at something different for later models?

Thanks all

P.

I don't know if they are longer. In any case, they are different.

Heres a image from a 1934 cat if it helps Paul.

Never mind levers, the club should be making the felt Sunbeam pennant as seen on Wessexman's '34 catalogue!
My unrestored '32 9A came without its inverted levers but for what it's worth, I've had all sorts of inverted levers of different types and years but they have all been about the same (short) length - only repro ones seem to come in long and short sizes, but that's not to say they were not made like that in period.

Thanks, everyone, for your contributions - I think we'll stick with the short ones!

Hello
Looking for a part of start-up damper for a Sunbeam 500/600 1932 (http://tel:500/600%201932)/33/34. Unfortunately mine got lost in the mail.
Can someone help me please?
Klaudius

How unfortunate to lose a part in the post - it happens too often!

Used Spares have some of these, but I'm not sure of the condition, or how deeply they are buried in the stock we are trying to sort out. I suggest you e-mail Paul Knight with a request: p.r.knight@outlook.com
