Hi yes I would be interested in the steel foster wheels as a stop gap, as you say I will eventually find the bits but it will take time, ours is on steels with clayton and shuttleworth cast into them, if anyone has a need for these, can you put me in touch with the foster ones pls. I have yet to find any firm information on the drum, it is number 2991 which I think makes it 1890 something ? It had the sliding roof on which turned out to be completely homemade, however it has saved the machine keeping the weather out. I am interested in any literature, pictures or contacts who may be useful to its restoration

Chris, the box these Marshall hubs came off is sitting on a pair of Foster iron wheels on the back.
Its about 2 mile from where your Sentinel used to live.

That surprises me about the roof. I only say that because it was identical to the type illustrated in my 1924 Foster catalogue.
PM me if you want further info, scans from the catalogue etc.
