First Run of the season 2022

First run of the season. Quite early for Ottawa. I don't usually get out until May. Only running on two cylinders when I pulled her out. The needle on the back carb was stuck and no fuel in the float bowl. Just took 5 minutes to clean it up and reassemble. Changed to NGK B6HS plugs. I think it is ru...

Re: 34 2-Seater seats

Here are a few shots of mine. Note in the 2nd shot there is a piece of wood screwed down to retain the lower edge of the partition. This appears to be a plywood strip on your car. It's ash on mine.

Re: 34 2-Seater seats

Door pockets are correct. I think you have enough shots of everything else with what I sent. Hard to measure the seat back accurately with upholstery on, but I'll try.

Re: Brake Master Cylinder Replacement

I had wheel and master cylinders on both my pre war Singers sleeved at John Stuart Power Brake http://www.johnstuartpowerbrake.com/ This is in Canada, which will save on postage as well as exchange if you are located in the U.S. They will be returned as new with a lifetime guarantee.

Canadian Singer advert

An interesting ad from the Montreal Star July 1954 pertaining to the Singer Roadster. Two locations for retail sales are mentioned. The Ottawa location was about 3 blocks from my house and I used to take all my cars there - e-type Jag, Sunbeam Tiger and various Singers
