Valve Lifter Tappet Collar

BRobbo · Post by **BRobbo** » Tue Apr 10, 2012 12:12 am

When I had trouble with the crankcase fitted valve lifter on my 1948 500 a while back I realised that the tappet collar which fits on the exhaust valve tappet was missing. I now have the engine stripped and this is an opportunity to replace the collar. Unfortunately I can't find this item listed on the JSL, AMC or Andrews parts lists. Old part number STD 638.

Can anyone suggest where I might obtain one or possible provide dimensions in the hope I could get one made up.

Any suggestions welcome. Thanks

Thanks for the new part number. I have managed to get a collar from Russell Motors, very helpful and knowledgable people.

I have an old and new spares list but presumably there is a conversion list for old/new part numbers available somewhere?
