Having made a calibrated fuel tank dipstick for the Austin Seven, it seems like a good idea to make one for the Singer.

Has anyone got any pictures (and indication of scale) of an original fuel dipstick for the 9 Le Mans?

Thanks

All back together and tested ok.

It is work in progress, the putting back together starts shortly.
Interested people can see progress here http://www.mothy.co.uk/singeraxle.htm on my web site.

Progress of sorts. The diff is out and bits inspected. The offside halfshaft has a very sloppy fit into the diff. There is enough movement to be felt at the wheel. So I am not sure what is worn and what is supposed to be like what it is. The tube that the halfshaft slides into has enough clearance t...

Bearing replaced ok. However no reduction in the amount of movement when the wheel is shaken. The brake drum moves relative to the backplate.

He also said to leave alone,...

I am not sure if its a bearing or loose taper yet, but I detect a small amount of in and out movement when I grab hold of wheel and shake it. This movement is not present at all p...

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks

Hi John Apparently these steering boxes were awful when brand new, according to a vintage MG friend of mine! I do not know the specification, but you could try asking the company that did my overhaul. By company I actually mean Simon Everett of Steering Services, steeringservices@btinternet.com, +44...

Gosh that's a bit different to the scruffy nut and bolt on my Singer Le Mans!

This prompts me to ask why one would need to have easy access to remove the front apron?
