PLEASE HELP

I have purchased a sprintex supercharged engine that was fitted into a wood
and picket Range Rover. When we came to look at the internals of the charger
we have found that someone has taken one of the internal screws out. I need
replacement parts for this or a replacement unit but we can't find any
anywhere.

Is it just one screw you need? If so can you not find another in the
supercharger of the same size/thread to measure that?

What would worry me is why it was apart in the first place and the
quality of repair if it went back together missing bits....

Have you tried these people:

It doesn't look as though they will be able to help directly but might
be able to point you elsewhere. And ,as Willie suggests, don't you have
anything that you could copy?

I could be wrong here but I think he means the big vaney thingy that does
the compressing not a bolt type screw

Ah, yes! I missed that, too - you could well be right.

??!! if that's the case (and now I think about it, it sounds like it..)
then what the OP is saying is "I have a supercharger case, all I need
is the insides". For the OP, I don't know if you've been in contact
with Sprintex but their site gives the UK supplier as these guys, maybe
they can help you:

Sorry guys yes it was one of the veins that I am missing. It was removed to
allow the air to flow through the intake of the charger as someone along the
line says it was too expensive to run with it connected.

I have spoken to Dennis Priddle the chap that invented it and they are no
longer made and there was never any spare parts if you broke it you had to
buy another. I posted to the group in the attempt that someone may have a
complete system sat in the shed or something.....

Sprintex Australia bought the rights to the system with any bits that Dennis
had but as soon as the got all this they changed the design...
