Thanks for all the help. This sounds like a great fix but I'm in the UK so logistics and cost will out weigh me just using another top.

UNF? I thought all the fixings were UNC?

Does anyone know what thread the choke fulcrum screw is? This is the large headed shouldered bolt that the choke linkage pivots on. Mine has stripped I the carb top and I'd like to helicoil it. Thanks.

Nice cars. Anymore info on the black coupe with the V8 logo?

Small holes drilled in lids above the float bowl are usually from disused petrol fired heater take-offs. As the take-off isn't there anymore the screw is plugging the hole.

Just going back over this old thread and hadn't realised it had been recently updated. Nice to see some new guys like Fantasyspeedway chime in. Any info is always appreciated. I'm still looking for the screw-on style spindle snouts as Zach posted below if anybody knows of any to allow me...

I'm curious to know why'd you want a 9" wide, 14" diameter wide five wheel?

Yes! This is a worm on the bench. Like to see if its worth using before I go to the trouble of fitting it.

Sorry, bad typing. Should have been "suck it and see" ie. is the only way to know if a worm is usable is to set it up in a steering box and see what the play is if any.

Apart form a visual inspection of a steering worm for pitting and such like, is there any other way to check a steering worm to see if its usable other than suck it see?

I had a worn steering box in my car which I successfully rebuilt with repro parts. Its now a couple of years later and the steering box is rapidly developing more and more slack in the straight ahead position, which no amount of adjustment or re shimming will eliminate. My guess is an...

Anymore detailed pictures of the runners and open plenum? How did it perform?

I'd say the channel is wrong. The repro channels I had were really poor quality yet the studs from Drake were nice. I'd guess the channels are wrong drill the holes bigger.

Heres the same kit fitted to my '36. Brilliant kit, bolts straight on using existing holes, good quality and makes a big difference to car. One of the best upgrades I've done. Shoukdn't take more than a couple of hours to install. I believe the Drake kit is a Chassis Engineering kit.

Mines the early one with the big C and open ratchet. Same as the one below.
