I fitted one to my 59a in my 32 roadster... ran perfect, just make sure you use the right coil, he leads etc.standard leads will not work properly.

I was watching that bolt and waiting for the snap..��..great save, that old clamp came to the rescue��. Loved the Prescott footage too, that new box seems to have been well worth the agro.

Mart, I had this same problem with a French motor. When the motor was being reassembled we noticed the excessive end float and came to a stop. I sold the engine to Jim T and told him about the problem before we finalised the deal. I believe it is not uncommon on these motors and Jim has a...

I’m an avid watcher.... love the “ can do” attitude... great work Mart on the actual job and the videos.

Great videos Mart.... how’d you get off the motorway ??

Re: Door skin “ oil canning “ I had a 40 coupe years ago ... it was an unfinished project and was painted bright yellow. I didn’t like the colour and stripped it off😣... the body was solid but some moron had sand blasted it and wrecked every panel on the car. I used a small oxy- propane torch...

Re: Door skin “ oil canning “ Did 32 roadsters come from the factory with the bitumen coating inside the body?

I noticed your vids on the subject Mart.. the previous owner said that he drove it for miles and miles without any issues... he changed the voltage ref three times but it made no difference evidently. It’s probably just me over worrying as usual��

The motor is a 40/41 in a 32 roadster..I’m not sure of the pulley size, I’ll have to measure it. ... I am just mulling over the theory and wondered if a smaller pulley size would give enough extra revs to satisfy charging.

I have a generator that only seems to put out 12.5v at higher revs.. during heavy traffic driving it hovers around 11/12v. If a smaller pulley was used would this give me the required voltage at lower speeds ie;30 mph? Next question, .. if it would work is there a smaller pulley available and...

Sorry I’ve no pictures but I fitted an old heater in my 36 Cabriolet... I mounted it on the raised centre section of the firewall. It was tight but I think it looked better centred than off to one side.I changed the inlet and outlet pipes with copper fittings from the local plumb shop... 1/2”...

They should be able to turn by finger pressure... if tight you can use a washer to fit in the slot to turn them.

Problem solved ... I fitted the new Stromberg and bought a Filter King regulator and gauge unit.... runs a treat now👍

The carb is one of Clive’s . I’ve also ordered a fuel pressure regulator and gauge as the car has an electric fuel pump and I’m half convinced this may be part of the problem. We’ve recently ,last month, had this awful E10 petrol introduced and E5 is still available but very expensive... I put...
