The centre piece of the Madeira Classic Car event last weekend..... perhaps an original import as I noted the speedometer is in kms. ?????


           

Trying to dismantle a marine gearbox casing. Under the top, there are four setscrews fastening the apparatus for holding the end of the gearstick selector. They go into a particularly thin piece of the gearbox casting. 
Two will not shift. 
Tried kitchen flambe gas torch, tried WD40, tried a sharp but not too hard tap, but now the screw tops are starting to wear at edges of the slot.

Don't want to disturb/damage the casing - what next before I have to drill them out?

Hi All,

Chris Gould's book on Ulsters notes that the bakelite wiring blocks are available new. These are the saddles with rubber gaskets that hold the wires to the bulkhead. I have checked the usual suppliers(Vintage Car Parts, Green Spark Plug, Holdens) and have had no luck. Do any sources come to mind?

i fitted a new distributor as other worn and loss of power on hills and irregular firing.
Bingo, best the a7 tourer has been. Superb for 200 miles in Brittanny when sudden failure due to stripping of teeth of gear .
Seems identical to the troubles I have just been warned about, and surely must b the same faulty gear on replacement part as on new dynamotors. 
Thus simply buying a new distributor to replace dynamotors is no good, .
Who makes the gear and how do I find a different one?

I have a complete set of orginal rubber mats, removed from my 1932 Tourer way back in 1968, and which I would like to use again for the sake of originality.  My problem is that the rubber is now very hard and brittle.  Is there any way that the rubber can be made pliable again?  In their present state they're at risk of just breaking up whilst being reinstalled.

DThe I am in the process of completely rebuilding my 1934 rp saloon.As the car has to be rewired what are the pros and cons of wiring negative or positive earth.

Spotted at a "classic car" show in Ripley, a very tidy Jansen Carrosserie special with 850 Reliant engine. I had word with the owner from Harrogate, non member but very pleasant chap. He just enjoys driving it. Sounds good to me.
