I want to be a real boy ................
Well i have a friend at CAMS, so fuk it I rang............ this is what I was told ...
just letting you know I DID ring CAMS on Tuesday 29th, spoke to the historical section and the homologation guy. he said he had no idea what I was talking about. He said a few people had been ringing about this sort of thing lately, and he had found it a little funny that after 40 years, suddenly a lot of people were asking about something that they had no record of.
He also commented that back in the 70's that CAMS were not in a position to be concerned with casting numbers and the like for all parts, as they relied on manufacturers providing PART numbers. He said if they recorded all cast numbers and stampings etc for engines etc etc , then they would have been required to do it for gearboxes and every other part. The rules and the recording back then was just not that sophisticated.
So I guess that means I didnt get ANY info from CAMS.
