We’re (Manx Military & Aviation Museum) after the following items for a Cheetah engine which we hope to ground run.
Any leads gratefully received via forum PM or e-mail.

Got a pretty decent Carb at Sywell if it helps?!

Have you tried contacting the placewhere your bolingbroke came from? They might be able to help?

I put an advert in Classic Wings [ N.Z. not Oz !] , for Cheetah parts on behalf of a Dutch friend and got several replies. There were a substantial amount of Cheetahs used in both countries. Course it might cost a bit to ship anything over ;-0
Otherwise you might try posting on the Yahoo list ‘vintage & warbird’ which is Downunder based.

Thanks Melv. Thought I’d try here first as it’s cheaper, easier, and above all friendlier! I hadn’t heard of Barnstormers – thanks for the heads up. I may or may not try the mags – had a very mixed response in the past.

I would start by putting an ad onto Barnstormers.com if you haven’t already. Then contact both magazines over here and Classic Wings in Oz and get them to put in an appeal on the news pages.
