The www.wcbs.org.uk have purchased an irish E type bolinder 15HP from
the boat M50 and I was hoping to obtain any info to help us in the
renovation of this engine. Engineering drawings would be a great help
or any contacts for parts.We already have a service and parts list
which came from internal fire.

We are trying to return a 1927 wooden narrowboat ( Forget me Not) to
her original engine.

many thanks

Lester

Spey has a 15hp Bolinder's  - but I have not heard of it referred to as E 
type.
It certainly does not mention it on the engine plate.

There is a lot of built up knowledge on this,
but we would need a piccy or some other id from you to see if we were 
batting on the same wicket.

Following a recent inspection by DK, Esq, of an Irish Bolinder, I
gather that there are differences between the Irish and the Spey
versions, despite their both being 15hp.

Until recently, there were four Irish Bolinders operating in Irish
motor-barges (although one of the remaining three may not be operating
very much). It might be useful to contact the Heritage Boat
Association www.heritageboatassociation.ie

An Irish Bolinder's - the mind boggles, but I do get your point !

From the reports I read - the basic engine was probably very similar but the 
peripherals were completely different.
I would still like to see a photo of the new acquisition - even just for 
general interest.
I have hundreds of the Swedish version that  I could publish .
