Anyone got one? Will offer plenty of $$, or swap for assorted 54 bits (ribbed handles, hearts etc)

Thanks,

Are you sure its a "3" and not an"8" Cast iron narrow body with scew in vacuum advance can, blank square after the 8 with a letter?

Definitely a BR 3. The BR 8 distributors started in August 54.
If anyone locates a BR2, I'd take that as well 😂

Don't know if this will be of any use to you dude
Bosch dizzy

volumex · 13 Feb 2010, 2:02 pm

Thanks but that's a VJUR BR8, which was the dizzy after the BR3.

cap clips made from wire is a good indicator from afar

volumex · 1 Mar 2010, 9:06 pm

BR8's had wire clips as standard until at least Oct 55 / 56 year model. I haven't figured out when they stopped using the wire.

volumex · 18 Apr 2010, 4:07 pm

Found one! - cost an arm and three legs though🤪
I got it rebuild by Ed Fall - the man produces exceptional work. I was gobsmacked when it arrived, considering how average it looked to start with!

Date stamped May 54

Wow well done ,perseverence usually pays off,most of us would have gone with a BR8 because it was available but congratulations for your perseverence.Cheers Les
