I am in the process of rebuilding my transmission. What is the concensus on re-using snap rings?

Here are the instructions that came with mine. The round headed one needed to be shaved down. https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/content/Snyders/Product_PDFs/A-702610-ES.pdf

An electronic magazine with a searchable index makes it easier for everyone!

Tried several, Genius 3500 is the stand-out, IMO.

Exactly my thoughts.

Thanks,Tom. Are you saying that only the one filament should light on the Bright setting?

The one that came with my 1928 Phaeton uses a slightly different approach again. It uses a Borg Warner filter #BW4266E. I am told that the Zenith has been air balanced to suit.

Thanks, Purdy. Pictures would be very helpful!!

For crying out loud!!! Don't keep us in suspense. Strip the crankshaft and report on both the Mains and the Big Ends. Then we have some real understanding!!

I await your next post with great interest!!

Had you remembered to advance the spark after starting?

Thanks for your input. I decided on 6mm perspex which is fractionally under 1/4 inch and much lighter. Used silicone as the adhesive and all looks very secure.

Hi all, Could someone please advise the correct thickness of glass/perspex for wind wings? The instructions that came with my Vintique kit are not very specific. Thanks.

Which other site, if you please?

Following this post, I have check measured 3 distributor tops that I have and found them to be all within 5 thou of 0.972". Cheers, Ross
