  3. Oh boy, fuel gauge was acting fairly suspect. was fine before (infact pretty accurate for such an old piece of lucas electrics) brainstorming - gauge probably needs calibration, might have been knocked -wires are probably falling to bits -sender is probably ok, looked ok when i had the tank out and apart tank out - i put a new extra thick foam seal (window seal type stuff for a house i guess) around the tank hole. - I put several nice thick layers of paint on everything - i patted myself on the back for doing such a good job Will make a ground wire somewhere from the tank to the body. Was hoping to go for a drive with my 1/3rd of a tank today too

  5. just have to remember that rod brakes were the norm just a few years prior, there was little traffic on the roads, roads themselves were poor and usually dirt, and speeds were much less. an emergency stop would be 100-200m distance from 40mph, with only a pair of milking cows for spectators
  6. forgot to mention, due to 50 odd years of foot to the floor motoring, the accelerator pedal was bent quite a bit. Meaning with the carpets in i could not attain full dort. Reshaped it and now have full travel

  11. Have done a ton of work, but its all piddly stuff thats hardly worth mentioning have put in new burgundy winglace, looks good with the satin black, and ties in the red seats. will probably run a body pinstripe of the same colour Re did a patch in the rear wheel well, then tapped it for wing bolt Ran the wires and set up the electric fan went through the exhaust and touched up a few dodgy spots in the welds. should probably go take it in for a wof next week, but im slack

  15. if you have one apart, check that the piston drops correctly when the jet is removed. may be a bent needle/jet isnt centered. clean it first, old fuel turns to varnish and sticks everything together
