    Knott half clam brake shell mountings

    50 HP Thunderbolt - stupid problem

    Hi all, just found this forum, and think it's just what I need :). I'm helping a friend out and we are stuck. I have a couple of questions. The first is simply identifying the year of the engine. The serial number is 3326772A1. I've had a look on some other sites, but can't find a UK reference...
