should i tint my windows? or will it look naff i can see it getting bloody hot inside, what with no fan or anything.

Setting up brake lights to flash as indicators is this legal on classics, or only if it was a factory set up? or not at all?

chrome like powdercoating i was looking into it for some bits i have. People on the net seem to think it comes out alright, tho i havnt seen any irl

thread hijack but those are used for organ delivery also one crashed the other day, id say their organs were no good after that

concur

probably no help but occasionally my bike will do a similar thing with the indicators. Id say this is due tot he battery being poked. perhaps yours with the extra electrical load is doing similar. in short - hows your battery?

i did this for about 6 months

go rob some from kindergarden that or buy wire and wooden/polystyrene beads from spotlight

just been hitting all my chrome bits with cotton wadding - works pretty well (is got a solvent in the tin with it to aid in removing crap)

Ultimately its the small details that take alot of time been flat out working most of the time so have taken to trying to get just a few pieces done every night - slow progress but progress none the less. Now have everything that was to be polished polished. Just a couple of small parts wanting painting

yea its the rubber part, plus the fabric bit that you see from inside

i am almost certain that section would be available as a patch panel otherwise get friendly with some one who has a sheet metal bender edit: just read your previous comment would it be all held in with spot welds?

chevette indicators are probably the same

thats the stupidest thing ever written on oldschool jokes the dish is a bit much there was a limit to how much of a strip you can get installed and still be cert-able - i forget the limit, something like 20% of the og width?

oh yea that sounds right check the connectors if you are real worried, get a multimeter on there and check it out

sounds legit. i have a ring type connection which is soldered to the taco wire. This is then bolted onto the negative

*waiting for someone to come call my bullshit on how a tacho works shhhh but yea try dodgy connections first should screw on to the negative ?

its measuring the pulses going to the distributor it converts these to 4's,6's or 8's (cylinders in the engine) to find how many revolutions are occuring

Chapter XVI Painting the car at home To renovate the old car is not the difficult task that most folks imagine. It is not possible, of course to give it that wonderful finish which the professional painter is able to do, but it is possible to improve it almost beyond recognition. Few things reduce a car's value more than shabby paintwork, and it is no exaggeration to say that a car's value can be increased by 25percent. by painting it at home. The first stage The first stage of the renovating process is the worst, but it is soon over. I refer to the necessity of cleaning every square inch of the body, chassis, axles and wheels. When you do this you will be surprised to find how many parts you have never cleaned before, no matter how well you have done the work in the past. Wash the car all over with water containing just a trace of paraffin oil, using neat paraffin for the more inaccessible places. It pays to buy one or two cheap brushes for this purpose. Every atom of dirt must be removed. When the car is clean and dry, the real work of painting may be begun. But the new colour should not be added to the surface of the old, since this will be glossy in places and dull in others. The whole surface must be equal in this respect, and it should be dull. So set to work with a many times folded flannel, with pumice stone powder and water, to rub off all the old varnish. Do this with a circular motion, a bit at a time. ..... etc,

have a 1920's road users manual which goes in depth on how to wash a car with paraffin

go to the good bike place brake/clutch place would make them also

what carb do you have, same manual has how to tune every carb known to man - also, 9 out of 10 carb problems are electical

3. Build a filter unit to suit the car. The simplest and very effective design is to sandwich a paper filter element between two metal plates. One plate is drilled with the appropriate size of air inlet hole and, if necessary bolt holes for flange mounting. The second plate is simply drilled with the hole for the existing centre air filter bolt or to take long bolts from the carb flange. Whatever arrangement is practical, ensure that there are no leaks between the filter and the carb intake and avoid sharp turns in the air path. The edges of the flanges and plates should be blunted or even better, radiused.

1950's tuning for performance manual recomends 1 sheet of aluminium 2xflatpanel/those circular ones air filters another sheet of aluminum bolts, washers and wingnuts hole saw and drill combine all of the above for custom carb aplications
