Wanted so we can Convert a Roller
As some will know I look after the Vehicles at the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden. We have made a decision to actively now pursue the component parts to allow us to RE- convert our Clayton & Shuttleworth Traction Engine, 'Dorothy' back to her pre-preservation state as a 10 Ton Roller.
We have so far drawn a blank on trying to locate the original front rolls, which we understand were taken to be put to use as a cricket pitch roll. So we are looking to acquire a suitable set of front rolls and forks that would look more or less correct as a substitute. Aveling / Fowler would be acceptable. We will be casting a new C & S headstock.
Any leads would be grateful.
