especially vehicles from South America were restored with the remove of the side mounts and having a rear mount instead. The reason is, that it was common practice, that the side mount arms, which were mounted onto the frame, got loose and all the weight came to the finder, making them cracking...

thank you for this very informative facts, is´nt the paper filter having even more resistance than the mash filter ? I am actually dealing with the combination of far too hot intake air through an air filter and combined with a non-air filter balanced Zenith....... ...what if I relocate the air...

this is the setup in my RHD Fodor Town Sedan, the filter is in a much cooler area and does not make any trouble. I know, without an air filter you get a lot of stuff into the engine you don't want to know it there. So I ordered an air filter balance new carburetor from the US, but I need to be...

As I am always fair in business, I gave Mac´s another chance to proof, that they are better than their reputation. Well, they failed again, an urgent order remained without status update for weeks, after an angry mail I was informed, that one piece is on backorder to be available in May (I got...

started well and ended bad.... I am owning 3 A´s (76-A, 35-A and 165-D), especially the first two ones were spare part intensive. I purchased parts in the past two years for approx. 20.000,- mostly without discounts (overseas customer). Everything I ordered for another project in the past four...

thank you all for your thoughts, at a closer look it appears, that one of the previous owners tried to fix something on it, so I will drain the fuel, dry up the gas tank, remove all paint and other stuff at the area around the support plate, will wash it with azethon, let it dry, light a candle...

Hi Dave, thank you for your answer, how did you prepare the area to be sealed, other than draining the fuel from the tank, did you remove paint, how did you get rid of the fuel on the surface to be sealed ? Thanks for taking time to answer my additional questions, Best Greetings, Albert
