This archive includes earlier web-size owner photographs and the newly supplied IMG_7034–7042 JPEGs for the 1975 Midget. Open any image for a larger view. The photo locator marks the clearest assemblies and links them to workshop jobs. Earlier HEIC originals remain in the owner's folders; their copies were rendered for browser use. IMG_7034–7042 are linked as supplied JPEGs.

New owner batch · IMG_7034–7042

Nine newly supplied views cover the carburetor, intake, filter, distributor, coil, mount area and exhaust-side pipe joint. IMG_7036 is soft; the other angles add clearer detail. All views remain uncalibrated.

Intake and cooling front

The metal air cleaner, elbow and black flexible coupling are distinct from the rear Smiths heater. The close fan views make several irregular tips easier to see.

Heater, cover and charging

SMITHS is molded into the rear black case. The red cover's fitted cap has broad metal grips; the earlier CAD cylinder did not match it.

Filter, fuel, electrics and underside

These views locate fitted service parts and modifications. A visible maker or generic label does not establish the exact replacement number or safe procedure.

New stamped and underbody views · IMG_6907–6919

One close image shows raised marks on a casting beside the rocker cover, another shows a stamped plate, and the remaining views survey the front underside and suspension. These help identify what to inspect and photograph next. No ruler or verified datum is visible, so they do not establish 1:1 dimensions.

Stamped plate near the engine bay
IMG_6907Front-panel plate. The owner transcribes it as GU47T 006117P; its function remains unverified, and this format does not match the documented GAN6-U Midget chassis number.
Casting beside the red rocker cover

Engine-bay details and fitted parts · IMG_6957–6976

The block stamp in IMG_6968 is transcribed by the owner as FP4025UE. IMG_6976 clearly labels the installed alternator Bosch AL298X. Both are identification evidence; these photos lack a ruler, so they do not establish 1:1 dimensions or bolt clearance.
