Yep just done my 39 coupe full conversion to 12v, power gen alternator, halogen h/l bulbs all other bulbs 12v, dropper for the gauges, 12v coil with ballast etc and Ive installed a 60amp thermal fuse for safety off the solenoid make sure cables are up to it with good clean earth horn starter...

Ive just bored mine out to 1.00 over, fitting Egge pistons previously was at .085 with 12thou wear so cleaned up pretty easily (Previously sleeved I believe) just reassembling now I didn't ultra sonic test so fingers crossed. Hope I don't learn the hard way!

Yep have put one in my 50 F1 nice easy conversion although crossmember modification needed, adapter need for bell housing (which are available here in NZ) You may need to go to the smaller 10" clutch assy and drill the flywheel. Just watch the ratios I believe several were available in this box...

Yep installed one in my 50 Bonus a couple of years ago used an adapter available from Macsspeed locally here in NZ. Had to go to a 10" clutch and redrill the flywheel for the pressure plate but used standard throw out bearing with a bush supplied to sleeve the carrier out and original linkage...

I have a 39 91A that Im rebuilding and looking for a set of rings 4 ring domed piston .0825 oversize - stamped on piston crown (3 1/16 bore std) The pistons are marked and are Ford branded, no problem getting 80 over but would no doubt be undersized by 12 thou on a worn bore at least (4-6 thou...

Yep, my dad was in the Islands as an armament tech. Anzac day has a lot of meaning for me, much more significant than Waiting day these days. We will remember them

Compliments of the season to everyone. Just had my 38 rebored (original 21 stud donk) on start up it run 100%. Retorqued heads after it cooled and run again, noticed a knock which sounded like piston slap, shorted out the leads and isolated the problem cylinder, the knock virtually disappearing...

Hi 38 Coupe. Great to hear you are visiting us. I am on the organising committee and we have a great week organised for the convention You will need to move quickly on accomodation as the primary venue is full but there are 3 or 4 motels close by (also filling up)Email the convenor Brendon at...

Thanks Fe 26 will be letting them know about it will use the bumpers until further down the road with the project then re chrome the originals. Was unaware they were just mild steel.

Greeting all Bought a couple of bumpers ex Macs just got round to fitting them up and find the overriders don't come within a bulls roar of matching the profile of the bumper a good 40mm gap upon tightening . Would take major surgery to get them right, Also got a hood lining from them and the...

Thanks Brian, I had done that obviously didn't try hard enough will do again Scotty

Hi all doing water pumps on 39 standard - is there a need to drill the bronze bush for oil flow or are the bushes porous enough to allow oil to penetrate. The originals I note are not drilled. The oil galleries are well and truly blocked. Cheers Scotty

Have a 50 bonus that's got that problem it has excessive end float in the second gear and has worn the thrust washer to the extent where the shoulder on the main shaft has mushroomed. I will replace or build up the main shaft to hopefully fix the issue.

That's a shocker! I've just ordered a pack of stuff from them , a hood liner and a few other bits also into Napier the initial estimate being $70 . I will use my own account with TNT or Dhl if they try that on me but if the estimate holds true that's reasonable, let's see what happens.

Thanks Chris I did bring that one up but application says otherwise, better to be sure than sorry with these things P.
