New to me Mg 0815

Post by pdstout »

Guys check this out. I lucked into a 1918 MG0815 all it needs is a lower feed arm. The one on it is broken. It also needs a lock. It is all matching. After a bath in a electrolisis tank, the paint on the water jacket came off. We went back camo. Any help with a lower feed arm and a lock would be great. I will have it at the Show of Shows on display.
What do you think?

Looks nice!!!

Brian Linde makes repro lower feedarms. They are very nice. Contact him with GB. If you get his email, please email it to me so i can save it. He is the only real source.

We aged the paint on the water jacket. I hope to have it running soon.
