He may have been. His member number was 25 if I’m not mistaken.

I ended up ordering a new reservoir. Got it installed and rebuilt the wheel cylinders and master cylinder. Took it out for the first real drive.

Finally got a chance to do some work. I ordered brake fluid, lines, and rebuild kits for the brake master cylinder and the wheel cylinders from Kip Motors. The fan I ordered off Amazon. If anyone was curious, it’s a 41” circumference and 5/8” wide. I used this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0126MW9...

Is there a source for the fan belt? Or do I need to get a generic one?

The car was dropped off today. Can’t wait to get my hands dirty. Can someone tell me if these pistons belong to the 4AD? The box came with the car but I’m not sure if they were from a different vehicle.

Must be sweet being so close to the supplier! Or should I say it must have been sweet. Thanks, I’ll order from them. Got a call from the driver today and the car is still set to be delivered tomorrow. I’ll post some pictures of the interior tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks for the info Mikey. There seems to be a wide price range online for Castrol DOT 4 and the bottles have varying labels/part numbers. Does any Castrol DOT 4 work or is it a specific blend I’m after?

The first order of business when the Singer gets here on Saturday is to flush the brake fluid. Kip motors lists Castrol DOT 4 fluid and in the description it says this: “ NOTE: USE ONLY CASTROL DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID! The seals & hoses in your brake system are made from natural rubber which is only c...

Ahh, good eye Peter I didn’t catch that. And I’ll look through the letters Mikey, pretty cool that you knew him. If you do find any pictures I’d love to see them or hear any stories you may have with him. I believe you have my email already.

Pretty amazing chunk of history. I even found the original bill of sale, but what’s interesting is it’s fro...

Oh those look incredible. The spare wheel and gas tank on the back are an awesome touch.

Still learning the lingo Mikey. Does 1.5 refer to the 4AD engine? 1500cc?

Good news, the car just got picked up by the carrier. Should be here by the weekend and then the fun starts. Since the side panels won’t attach we opted to tape up the openings to keep out any potential rain.

Lanvin Peets, that’s right. And yes, the green oval one at the top. Thanks I’ll reach out to him about registering.

I didn’t think to account for the thickness of the wire. Thank you for that tip. Maybe modern stuff is the way to go. On a different subject, my grandfather was a NASOC member and I found a green badge in a plastic baggie in the car. It also had a paper with his name and a number on it. I assume tha...
