Claude, those are Piper window winders and are different to the later 411/412 systems. My 410 also has factory fitted electric windows like these. They are fast and powerful, but the microswitches...

The ex-Bristol/Silverton Zele was on the FBHVC stand at the NEC show last year, or maybe the year before. I think it is owned by the last chairman of the FBHVC.

I don't know for certain, but it looks from the photographs that it has rolled somehow and since been left to rot. I have seen photographs from the time of a 411 which had been involved in an...

Sorry for the delay getting back to you.

It is 45cm across the base, with a 32.5cm diameter air filter inside (which needs replacing!).

I have one from a 411 s2 available but I do not know if it is the same as a 603's. (It is different from a 410's.) I can send a picture tomorrow.

And if you have a pair of used but unmarked bars is it possible to tell which side they should go?
