Bad luck with the parts numbers - not only do all models (ie 10/12, 14 ,16 or 20) have different number for complete gearboxes, each year of all models has different numbers! (Apart from 1940 16 and 20 or 1947 14 and 16 ) You would have to go through the separate components to find which are the sam...

Hi Madnik
If your 12 gearbox doesnt work out I have a spare 14/16 gearbox (complete but no clutch) which you might be interested in. Its probably 1947 but identical to the 39 14 as far as I know

As part of my accident repairs I am hoping to fit new weather strips to the door windows. At present there is no weather strip at all, just a couple of felt blocks to guide the glass and the rain just pours into the door void so I would be interested to know which strip you have chosen for yours.

To encourage the frame to curve I think that not only would the metal need to be bent but also have a fulcrum behind it to make the wood frame conform also...

Thanks for that Luli It is interesting to see the structure of the door exposed although the tourer is a different shape to the DHC. I have never opened mine up but dont think it has the diagonal metal stay and corner plate. Is that original or Tino's repair? Did you have a problem getting the corre...

Thanks Tony for your sympathy and your bodyshop suggestions. I have been in touch with both and as I expected Sowerby Ash Framing only does the timber framing in-house but says he has some good contacts who could do the metal and painting etc. The other shop Clanfield Coachbuilding has a lead-in tim...
