Buy some gasket material and cut one out is the quickest and cheapest answer.......

All the hard bits are there.......a lot of satisfaction about to happen....... you would have to be be one "happy little Vegemite..."! Good onya Matty - Great to see.... KB

And mine.....1967 Bellett GT

I made mine up by cutting an old biscuit tin (with scissors) , hold in place with a couple of self tappers, and then sealed it with silicon and painted. I then sealed this part to the body with reinforced duct tape after it was bolted in . Works very well. It cannot be see when installed.

I forgot to say that the "bowl overflow" pipes run down to near the "cross member, steering rack ..." and empty onto the ground......(I think maybe (going by a fuzzy original Sale Brochure picture) there was a short length of hose on the bottom of the pipe originally (I maybe wrong...)

Great to see you "pop up.." again Dick.
Please Post a few current pics.(engine bay , interior etc..) of your Bellett ...we would like to see it .......it is always interesting to see a later model in detail)
Here are a couple more "carby pics" (1967 PR91 Bellett GT) for your info. /reference .

Thanks for Posting those pics. . Exciting time - "picking it up ....."
Generally more pics. at the petrol station while refueling the tow car and having a coffee before the trip home .........
A quick clean up and polish will make the Teardrop look a million Kronas......!

You are so lucky as the body looks to be in reasonable condition and the mechanicals are simple.

Great find.....well worth keeping and rejuvenating/restoring. Simple and easy to work on.
I would suggest that you contact the Bellett Club in Finland. Great people and a wealth of Bellett knowledge.
Please keep as informed of your progress. More pics. would be nice also.
Lots of information here ...

PR91 Welch plugs are 1.25" diameter - (must be a carry over from Hillman days! ) not 32mm (very close but not quite!)

You will probably have to make one up........should not be too hard. Will not be original but at least the loom is not "on display" ....

Head to go back on GT tomorrow ......so hopefully top up with Coolant and be ready by mid September........!!!

Probably have to "make do" with something from an Antique Rubber business.......with a scalpel and good quality rubber cement you would probably surprise yourself with how nice a product you can finish up with.

Maybe the later Deluxes were equipped with "factory " fan type heaters ......I had a '69 ? (strip tailight) Deluxe at one stage and I thought it had a Fan /Heater.....maybe I am wrong.....Someone here will know......

Nice "Spotting"......

Probably a local fitted heater with the cable/control operating the water tap. I installed an Australian heater (after-market but to suit a Bellett) in my new '66.5 Bellett sedan soon after I bought it. There was no fan , just a heater core and a tap. The result was beautiful , especially when ...

Old pic. - NMP (from another Group..) possibly Lithgow Car Club back in the day ....anyone recognise the Crew....?
