All, thanks for the feedback on the frame welting. Would't the body square up if the holds in the frame and body have not been altered once you get the body bolts in? Where would you check for squareness from, LF to RR mount holes and RF to RR mounting? This would be pretty tough unless the...

In the engine serial number listing, a small bore (14 HP) and a large bore engine blocks are referenced. What are they referencing? Was there really a 14 HP model A engine used in the UK?
