G'day!

In my own slow, povvo way I have been aspiring to get the important parts of my bay complete. It's only been 9 years so far.

My question is, what does the thermo flap assembly consist of? This is on a late carbed 1800.
I still have the flap assembly in there, but everything else, whatever it may have been, is long gone.

I'm guessing there's an accordion thermostat thing in some kind of square U bracket, a pulley that mounts somewhere and a cable. Is that right?

If at first you don't succeed. Build, build again.

Thats about it, also a special axle type M6 bolt for the pulley to run on.

Excellent. Thanks for that.

So... where on earth can I find them?
