Would anybody know anything about a set of Mildren brass cylinder heads apparently a set has been found not far from here.

Aussie made I believe
Gosh I were probably a teen when I saw these

They may have been for boats. They also may be bronze. That would hold up well to salty coolant.

Pretty cool!

Hope more add!!!!

My latest boat motor drool. Only because boats were mentioned. Sorry Ian.

Interesting set of heads 21 stud shown but the casting has the provision to be 24 stud also.
