Think I tapped them M8 and JB Welded some no grade bolts in. Cut them off once it’s set and carefully flush them to the deck.
I’ve run a Thomas on a B block without blocking the steam holes. But I normally plug them.
I've just bought a piece of art from Pete in Australia.[ATTACH]
Rotoshim asked to borrow my Tourer last month as they're looking in to making some fancy shock arms and needed a vehicle to measure and make mock...
Gorgeous engine. I must admit I never run a temperature guage on my four bangers. Or in fact any guages. That's a lot of fan on there though. I...
Nah, it’ll never work…
Depends if you’re planning fenders I reckon. I run with 2 or 3 leaves removed with a stock main leaf and an B axle. Add the spares to the bottom...
Blockleys are a crossply.
[ATTACH] I like ‘em. Even the 4.50 x 19’s I’m running on the front of the Coupe get warm and sticky in the wet. Confidence inducing. I ran the 5...
I ran a Tillotson carb on my Fordor for a while. Used to run out of fuel on spirited right hand turns…
I do love my Blockleys. Been out today on them in the rain. They are crossplies but they are L section, so a lower profile than a similar size by...
The deck was fine although we found a crack in the water jacket whilst is was coming apart. Took a good few cuts to get through the deck 3mm at a...
I don't do the Book of Face myself. I'll keep you posted with progress.
The original aero engine is a 2.2 litre flat four. Similar bore size and a 3” stroke. Craig is planning to make nikasil coated aluminium barrels....
[ATTACH] I meant to post earlier. Went to help Craig at RKE Engineering skim his block… It was an old BF engine with good white metal. He’d been...
Bought some bling from Australia. Guess I’ll have to build another car to fit these to… [ATTACH]
Ah, yes. You’re using a Volvo box. Will the centre hole in the diaphragm fit over the snout of an early Ford box?
What clutch cover is that? Wonder if it’s available over here? Guess you have to adapt the matching thrust bearing?
It’s a T top tank with the scallop added.
I had a rad built. T top tank. A bottom tank. Scallop for the fan clearance. Offset inlet. [ATTACH]
I was sent a picture the other day - body in primer.
Oh, I know, I really know.
I have a relief cut in all my heads, including the Brierley.
I like my Brierley head. Needs far less advance than the Thomas or Winfield I previously ran. Very torquey and economical too! Tried to get...
"Awesome" is a word that should be reserved for posts like these.
Likewise - I'm glad I run out of aerodynamics in the mid-70's on a beach...
You're nearer than I am...
I run the 12" '32-34 brakes on a couple of my cars. Took a bit of adaption to fit '35 brakes on the Coupe. All with Ted's floaters. Well worth...
Came here to say the same…
