Re: Solex 30 FAI rebuild kits

Sometimes on ebay uk you can find some parts or NOS carbs.
I bought a few to get the right parts and jets for mine. And had the luck to find a spare gasket kit also there.

Re: Singer Nine/Bantam brakes

These are my 4A brakes before revision, is this a little bit the same?

Re: Fuel Filler Rubber Gromet

I found one from a Citroen Ami, but maybe there are better options.
The Citroen type fits, not perfect but no gaps.

Re: Hoffmann bearings

Correct, I also bought the Hoffmann MS7, MS10 and MS11 bearings a short time ago for my Roadster, 2 of them came from Greece, the others from the UK.

hole below the doors in the alu strip

What is the function from this hole in the 4A?
20211104_210358b.jpg
This strip has a hole, and I see them on more cars on the same place.
Is something needed in this hole, to catch the door?
This car was since 1968 not on the road, so looks original.

rebuild side windows

How to rebuild these side windows?

What was the original material?
And how the chrome guides are mounted, or how to remove the glass?

Re: Starter cable mounting point 4A

More than you think, the parts are exactly the same as mine, so it is just the way how it is mounted....
No end connection for the outer cable.

Re: Starter cable mounting point 4A

Thank you,
Every picture can be a part of the needed information. The difference should not be so big I think.

Starter cable mounting point 4A

20210910_091949b.jpg 20210910_091925b.jpg Who can tell the original mounting from the starter cable? When I bought the car, it was only a lot of parts in a shed, I have a starter cable, copied the mounting hole in a new part of wood, but I think something is missing. In My Morris a bracket is thee ...

Re: headlights, 34 9 LM

To drive with trafficators and no other direct visible lamps is easy, Use a DB10 style flasher unit and the brake lights for this. At the front you can use the small lights on the wings. I saw people who had the original single lamp on the back, in combination with some small working lamps on the re...

Re: headlights, 34 9 LM

Are these glasses allowed in the UK with the MOT or road inspection?
I know I have to put not original reflectors and glasses when I have to bring my car to the checkpoints (Dutch RDW)...
And official they can stop me on the road, but I am not very afraid for that.

Re: Super 10 or 12 ?

The number can be a factory "fault", One of the 4A roadsters I bought, has a double number, a 3A with a 4 over the 3.
It was all handwork these years , and it is possible one of the people took a wrong tool to put the numbers in.
Try to find the axle numbers, they can tell also a bit.

Re: original trunk lid

This weekend I made a complete new one, a little modified for the strength.. 20210816_191836b.jpg The original grey one had a strange repaired hole in the middle, so I think I have to use the red aluminium outside plate. The woodwork from the red one is also not perfect, so I think the new one will ...
