Ruston Proctor Chimney Base. - Traction-Talk

STERVAN · #1 Post / In Thread 5th September 2013, 10:45 PM

Hello,
I am looking for a chimney base for my 4nhp Ruston Proctor portable.

If i could borrow one to copy that would be ideal even if its off a different size engine, pictures and measurements would also be useful.

I am not sure but I think Ruston Hornsby portables have a different style of chimney base.

Many thanks Matt.

Hi, I have a heavy duty cast chimney base for a portable, the base has the distinctive square shape and is good condition. I bought the base from Tuxford's when they were selling a number of Ruston portables. If you are interested pse send a PM. Cheers, Dave
