I don't think that is the "Engine Plate"; it's detachable. The Engne Type Number should be cast or stamped into the crankcase or barrel casting: something that IS the engine, not something ATTACHED TO it.

You could try American White Cedar, if you can get it. Highly durable; relatively cheap. Not fancy, but functional . .

You don't show the reverse side of the saw handle. If there is a screw slot, it is probably a nut - so you can just screw it up tighter [after adding a small squirt of WD40/Plus=Gas/BDX Bulldog and waiting]. If there's no slot, it'll be a two-piece rivet. In which case : either a hammer [but...

A clue: there's a small diagonal grip-gap right in the nose. Looks like it's for gripping [& twisting?] something small – like a pair of wires?

"turning down sales just to punish you? Did they ask which way you voted?" ?? Yes; and Yes. If you find that ridiculous, perhaos you should get out more . . .

Same size; increasing roundness.

"Perhaps they're trying to punich the UK . . ? I'm sure they are. I used to buy - low value - classic Fench/German/Italian bike parts from those countries, with no problems`: just convert into Euros, and pay the item plus postage. Immediately after Brexit, a number of my regular suppliers...

Could it be that the three identical forming hollows are for progressive crimping: start with the outer one; move round 120º and crimp harder; another 120º and final compression and rounding ???

Not an Asian Hornet?

How about using Jameshow's idea of softening the eves with foam, and using the cringles to tie it into position?

There's something like a "10 Mile Rule" for keeping your GP when you move. Up to 10 miles is OK; beyond that, after a time, you have to switch.

Indeed. It is remarkable that - 30 years after the introduction of IT [I was busy coding back in 1965] - they should still have been using a manual paper system

There is more to this than meets the eye. The question is "WHY was the Horizon system introduced in the first place?" Turns out that the principal motive was to track, reduce and eliminate Benefit Fraud - which the then government thought was costing billions. Up till then all the Sub-Post...

That's the right way for the plate. But totes - if wood - often also need attention: split, cracked, horns broken off, sawscrews loose/missing, etc. But some work will normally make a difference:

Erasmus's quote is given modern expression in the Dunning-Kruger function

A bit more than that. In 2017, AFTER the Post Office scandal had become public knowledge, she was one of three candidates short-listed to be the next Bishop of London [3rd most senior in the C of E, after the Archbishops of Canterbury & York]. She wasn't picked; but Justin Welby, the...

Definition of a Harley-Davidson: "A complicated electro-mechanical device to convert petroleum spirit into noise"

Agreed! I had a 1950 Series 1 80". Primitive beyond belief; but great fun, and everybody - particularly girlfriends - loved riding in it. For short drives . . . It had the original Worm-&-Peg 1930's steering box from Burman Douglas, with a bronze nut sliding along the steering column worm...

I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Yes, I did use to use engineering blue, but only when scraping white metal {Babbit] bearing shells to fit a crank- or camshaft on really old [pre-Vandervell] engines. As for using the old plate as a marker for the replacement: that's fine for the...
