It's a Monkey Bike, no? |

For the Sprite, I can just about remember seeing boy-racer Frogeyes with this thing in the grille when I were a lad, but what is it? Something to do with a Shorrocks supercharger? Some other go-faster gizmo? |

It looks to me like a Lucas WLR576 rear mounted spotlight. I have two of the pillar mounted ones on the bumper of my Bentley to use as direction indicators. Link to "www.google.co.uk" The Shorrock supercharger was a Roots blower fitted behind the radiator on the Sprite, above the level of the front crankshaft pulley on the induction side of the engine and driven by a duplex fan belt. There would not have been room to install it in the position shown in the picture, the radiator is in the way. Some vintage Bentleys had a supercharger mounted in this position and driven from the front of the crankshaft directly, on some non-blown cars the round thing appearing between the dumb-irons is a dynamo. http://www.shorrocksuperchargers.co.uk/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roots-type_supercharger -- Last edit: 2014-05-01 09:10:41 |
