SOMEONE ASKED ME THE SIZES FOR A MARSTON SUNBEAM MAGNETO  SPROCKET EXTRACTOR. CANT REMEMBER WHO ASKED BUT BASICALLY YOU NEED A 5/8" DIA, 20 TPI (WHIT, 55 DEGREE ) BOLT ABOUT 1" LONG UNDER THE HEAD. WITH A 3/8" (HIGH TENSILE PREFERABLY) BOLT WITH ABOUT   2" THREAD LENGTH ( FINE THREAD, BSF OR UNF ) THRO' THE CENTRE. REMOVE THE CAP ON THE TIMING CASE. USE A BOX SPANNER TO UNDO THE SPROCKET NUT. SCREW IN THE ABOVE EXTRACTOR (NO NEED TO TIGHTEN), SCREW DOWN THE 3/8" BOLT HARD, IF I DOESN'T MOVE TAP THE BOLT HEAD. DONT FORGET IF YOU REMOVE THE MAG, THE SPROCKET WILL DROP DOWN THE CASE UNLESS YOU PUT A BAR ETC THRO' THE CENTRE HOLE.
DONT FORGET IF YOU DO RELEASE THE SPROCKET YOU WILL IMMEDIATLY LOSE YOUR TIMING SO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS !!!

Hi BEAMA  just sent a message to Richard about a Lion that  is for sale and asked him where the frame number is on a Sunbeam to my surprise your page came up and there was the answer;will look tomorrow remove paint first I fear . Many thanks for the info.your assistance is much appreciated.By the way I have obtained a copy of a Sunbeam sales brochure for 1928 models showing a flat tank model 8 price  in The British Isles [their wording] 66 Guineas £5..5s..0 extra for electric lighting outfit.
