Tyres for 4AD

Can someone in this forum let me know where I can purchase a replacement 500x16 Bias ply white wall? I am familiar with Crocker Tire but I prefer to buy from someone else. I would consider a used trye because I only need one for a spare.
Thanks, Louis

Stephen: Thanks for the carpet pictures, I agree that Pekkas is the best, but the 1st one on the list looks pretty good also.

Re: 4AD Singer Bleeding Brakes

Stephen: Very nice looking car nice job restoring the vehicle. I have a request, not about brakes, could you take s couple of pictures of how the carpet attaches near the threshold or if you have a carpet pattern that would be even better.
Thanks, Louis

Re: 4AD Boot Straps wanted

Pekka: I replied to your email address that I am interested in the brackets. I have a couple of questions about the webbing straps. I see on the LMS Lichfield site that the straps come in 3 different sizes, 24", 30"and 42", what length do I need? Do they come in sets of 2 one strap wi...

Re: 4AD Boot Straps wanted

Thanks for the info on the bracket, maybe someone has an extra one that they are willing to part with.

Fred, I have the same problem as you, no hole, hope we get someone to post the size and location. Maybe someone could send an email pattern to us.

Re: 4AD Boot Straps wanted

Thanks to everyone for their input. I was able to contact Gregory and I have ordered the straps. I sent him a letter by US Postal Service and he contacted me by phone. He does not check his emails often because he is semi retired and is doing his sales from his home. I guess I should have waited for...

Re: 4AD Boot Straps wanted

Can someone let me know if the boot, when open, is flat and level with the ground? My boot only opens half way, not like the picture above.
Thanks

Re: 1952 Singer 4 AD accelerator set up

There should not be any play in the cable housing, other words the housing needs to be tight against the fire wall so the cable can move in and out without the housing moving. You may have the cable to loose, that is what happened on my car, to much play in the cable.
Hope this makes sense.

Pekka: I am able to log into Gregorys web site, but they do not respond to my emails. Maybe you could have them contact me so I could order some spares.
