Re: New Project
Thanks Brian. My local supplier provided 5mm laminated glass for the other windows so I should be OK on that front. The idea of glued sections may be part of a plan B, as the only option I have rejected is adding filler pieces to the opening as I think it would spoil the car. The top rail is no prob...

Re: New Project
I saw a 1926 Chevvy saloon in the village yesterday and that had a fixed screen to replace the original opening one. It looked pretty good. So I have decided to try option 3 (extending the surround I have) with the fall back being a fixed screen. I have ordered the 5/8" round brass section for ...

Re: New Project
So I'm now thinking about the last major item which is the windscreen. My friend Dick, who has too many of his own projects, has failed to produce one, and after 2 years of waiting I have taken the parts back and I'll have a go myself. I have four main options and I would welcome feedback on these: ...

Re: UV2674 Singer Senior Gearbox Stud
Thanks for your kind words David - I am on the last leg with my Six and have just recovered the parts of my original (too small) windscreen surround from a second friend who also has failed to work on it for the past two years (that is two friends and four years waiting in total!) so I plan to make ...

Re: Vinyl Roof Material
Martrim in the UK have quite a few hooding materials although I can't see anything like your picture. Is it possible that the material has rubbed over time to make the 'pepper and salt' look? Here is the link to Martrim so perhaps worth a look yourself. https://www.martrim.co.uk/car-trimming-supplie...

Re: UV2674 Singer Senior Gearbox Stud
Hello David - good to see another Singer owner. The fount of all knowledge on Seniors is Colin Borley who doesn't appear on-line but his contact details are in the UK SOC club magazine.

Re: Vinyl Roof Material
I think you need to post a picture of the original fabric.

Re: 35 LM Carburettors
If they give a positive response Michael I'm happy to act as a go-between. I have done this with other members of the Australian club where a UK supplier won't post abroad.

Re: 35 LM Carburettors
If you are in the UK you could try the Carburetor Exchange as they have many spares for all sorts of carbs and do a very nice job of rebuilding them (see the picture of the Solex from my '37 coupe after their rebuild including a new OS float bowl). I personally would not write off an original part b...

I have been reading Mike but have nothing to post after finishing the seats on the Six!

Re: New Project
Phew - seats finished! The rear seat base is a different colour as I had to buy another hide, but I'm OK with that: the overall look is fine and the interior smells wonderful!

Re: New Project
Phew - last piece of sewing completed with the rear seat base. It isn't fully sewn to the springs yet but it is a major milestone. I had to buy another hide as the pieces were so big and it is a different colour to the rest being more towards the black end of the scale. I don't think this will matte...

Re: New Project
Thanks for the benevolent pressure Brian - I'm really glad I had a go at it. So far as other projects go Peter we are all crazy enough to do it all again, although I would have to sell something to make a budget and to release space in a shed (unless I build another shed...). .

Re: New Project
Rear seat cover tacked onto the wooden support and in the car just to see how it looks. I'm quite pleased. (The door cards are exactly the same colour as the seat - it's just the effect of the flash in the rather dark barn)

Re: New Project
The rear seat back cover is sewn up and the side piece added on one side. I hope to do the other side today so i can put it in the car. The seat base needs a bit more care as the mesh has corroded away and some springs were missing. I have bought replacements which need to be tied in. rear seat 1.JP...
