Yes, they are on my car. According to David Andeassen’s data book the choke tube is 19 (mm?) main jet 90, correction jet 210, pilot 45, start air 3, start petrol 85. The choke tube is easily removed but you may have to turn new ones up on a lathe.

Good luck finding adapter flanges!

The original carbs are quite rare. I assume the 30FAI was a factory replacement. You will need the adapter flanges that turn the bodies through 90 degrees.

Thinking about the electrics I drew this:
The deliberate mistake is that the purple/brown wire that comes from the horn button and passes through the SLC-2 switch should connect to the spare terminal in the 6-way block rather than the 4-way.

Superb! In its day this car could compete with the likes of lagonda that cost ten times as much.

Hi Avery, that looks like a very original and well looked after car. The paint looks like a cut back with t-cut and a rub down with polish would bring back the shine. As far as originality goes, it depends on what you want to do with the car - drive it, show it at concours events or turn it into a m...

Absolutely superb! After I feel I twisted your arm I’m glad it has turned out so well.

Mine had a tab. It helps to hold it in place whilst fitting the sump.

No problem Colin. I am not familiar with steel bonnets. I remember the one off my 1.5 Sports was very heavy when I sent it to Nigel for painting. Aluminium sounds like a great idea. I bought a whole sheet of brass in the 1970s and don’t remember it being very expensive. However I was shocked to see ...

Brass? No, the ‘35 has a separate brass hinge with silver steel rod. There are no side hinges as the bonnet is made from only two pieces.

I suspect brass rod will be an expensive option. Stainless steel will be cheaper. I think the diameter is 1/4”.

The whole interior is looking fabulous! I wouldn’t pad the sides of the front seats, just the tops and then tension the sides carefully. The back seat looks in remarkable condition. Is that felt padding? You must be very pleased with the results so far. I found that the hidem binding required tacks ...

Sounds like a plan! I assume the bonnet is to replace the original steel panels rather than the aluminium ones fitted to the’35 models (which had separate brass hinge). Stainless steel might be an alternative.

Mikeyr, I hope you are following how to upholster ready for when you do yours!

I’ve been looking back at your thread and you have to admit you have come a long way!

Your seat cover looks superb but, like you, I suspect you don’t have enough stuffing. This picture of another six suggests there is much more padding.

Seat is looking great!

That looks absolutely fabulous! Well done. I’m looking forwards to seeing the finished result.

1/2” needle felt? Maybe two layers. You can also use it to pad the wheel arches. 54” wide from Segals. About £12 per metre.
