Tangye Type O oil engine, S/N 5956B 5hp

G'day,

A fellow club member here in Australia is currently restoring a Tangye Type O oil engine and has hit a hurdle with a damaged part that he would like some info on. The part in question is the Half Compression Lever (unsure if that's the correct name) that engages with/onto the exhaust rocker and aids in starting the engine. The end of this part had been broken off prior to receiving the engine and he would like to replicate it. The end of the exhaust rocker arm is broken off and he would like to replicate it as well.
Does anyone have the same type of engine or know of someone that has the same type of engine that he could possibly get some dimensions off or even a manual or a drawing/tracing.
He has previously been in contact with Kerry Morris (Tangye Register) regarding this engine.
If anyone has any info at all that I could pass on it would be much appreciated. Happy to pass on contact details if preferred.
Regards
Jeff Ryan.

Not been on the forum for the best part of a year, maybe send him a PM?

Thanks for the heads up fellas, I recently joined the TANGYE facebook page and intend on posting my original post on there. I did see a 'Dan Howden' on there who seems to know a fair bit abut TANGYEs, would that be danthetangye?
Appreciate the replies.
