Re: Wiring Loom
Rewired our 16 with an Autosparks loom in 1993, at that time they hadn't made a 16 loom but had made 10 and 12 hp P2 looms. They added length to the underbonnet section on my request and since our car is an export model there were a couple of additional matters from memory relevent to the positionin...

Re: LEAKING PETROL TANK
Facing similar issues in the 1980's I successfully used an Eastwoods product involving three phases of scaling, etching and a sort of polymer sealing. After almost 30 years our tank is still leak-free This company as you may know disappeared for a time but Frost Automotive do retail some of their pr...

Re: Bringing a 1939 '10 engine back to life
Mark, I Was born in King Lynn, a very , very , very long time ago. Climate in Norfolk allows wonderful things to happen and many dry days throughout the year are probably taken for granted, old car wise, with few if any of the constraints affecting our use of our cars way up here i imagine. Arguably...

Re: Bringing a 1939 '10 engine back to life
Shame work has to stop. Hopefully you won't need the incentive of a pal arriving to recommence. Clutch might be a problem involving gear box out...freeing a seized clutch by severe means without opening things up is a bold adventure necessitating as you know some non - gentle machinations....hurtful...

Re: Bringing a 1939 '10 engine back to life
Compared with what we found on our 16's engine on strip down in late 1985 (it was firing eventually on 5 cylinders when we drive it from Antwerp to Brussels and burning copious amounts of oil) you seem to have a useable engine Stuart. Pity the spark plugs had been out for so long but Skye's dampness...
