Re: Front Spring Orientation - 1946 10 Saloon

Hi, Rod and Mike, thanks very much for the information, Invaluable! I have also found a reference in a 1946 publication that states "all centrebolts offset to the front" so longer end to the rear has now been corroborated by three sources so thats great stuff. Thanks Rod for taking the time to go ou...

Re: Wanted Boot Badge and Autolube parts '46 P2

Hi Chris,
Sounds good. I'll pick myself up a spare grease gun and see how I get on. Intend to check out each lube point and see how much oil is getting through after a few pumps of the gun.
Thanks again

Re: Wanted Boot Badge and Autolube parts '46 P2

Hi chris My 46 10 saloon appears to have all of the autolube tubing and meter valves intact but is unfortuately missing the reservoir and pump assembly.

Re: Wanted Boot Badge and Autolube parts '46 P2

Hi Gerry, Your car looks lovely with only a few things to do! Wish I could say that about mine! I have a few tasks before I'm happy with mine. I would be very interested in your autolube system. Basically most of my pipework is intact right up to the bulkhead where it should join the reservoir. The ...

Thanks Mike, Is there any way of contacting the previous owners? or is it tied up with data-protection?
