[QUOTE="craig, post: 41490, member: 1959"] So to sum up with info to date - Vincent engines were fabricated (cast and machined) at British Salmson and apparrently matched marked there. The special Black Shadow engine cases were delivered to Vincent shop #2, assembled with all outer cases, appropriate holes plugged up, surfaces masked off and then the engine case were treated with Pylumin then slathered with PJ oven paint using a brush, allowed to drip off, then ovenbaked till set.....Rapide cases were simply trimmed and polished....... all at Vincent shop #2 (location unknown to me at this time)..........then the finished Black shadow engine cases/covers and Rapide polished cases were transferred to Vincent shop #1 for dissassembly and assembly. yes? i hope?
