Hi Mike While I wait for internal handle mechanism availability, I have tried using a Mini type wire pull without the door trims. Works perfectly - suggesting that the only spring strength required is to return the handle itself to start position. I suppose that depends on the construction of the pa...

<r>My November !933 registered 1934 model year nine 4 seater with the Special Speed engine has chassis number 50325 and engine number 52630 which being a Special Speed (LeMans) 972cc engine has twin downdraught Solex Carburetters, Your 'fuel side' looks completely different to mine with a single cro...

Dismantled old ppes ready to block off and found a smal quantity of fuel so made new pipes 7" long with crimped ends to just allow a weep or gas flow. Now to tune as induction air leak gone!

I was tempted to do so - now I certainly will blank off!
Thanks

The Inlet manifold fuel drip pipes to prevent flooding on my car were made by Messrs Bodgit and Run!
One had just departed company on the road while having a lovely run out.

The other is pipe soldered to an old drilled bolt and 20"+.long

What should the parts be?

Thanks

Second tomorrow!

I thought it looked wrong and the cable (albeit new) had a tortous route.
Should the cam operating arm bend away from the drum or towards?
If Away then the cam arms are either reassembled wrong for the cable retaining bolts or they've changed sides!

Replying to myself!
Could it be that the handbrake drum lever has been inverted at some time? If so-should it bend to or away from the drum?

Hello The N/S handbrake cam operating lever on my nine sports is contacting the chassis / inner arch on large road bumps if anyone sits in the rear seat. So far I've found that the Andre Hartford style shock absorber is not damping at all! and that there is only 1" of movement before bumping. F...

Hi David
My '33 nine sports has a factory fitted SS engine which has a fan. Can you post a picture of the oil leak location?

Thanks Mike
I didn't know the pictures were there! Explaines everything if I found the correct ones for the year.. The rear metal floor has been replaced with plywood with insufficient room for the diff dome. The seat is also flat underneath.
