Thank you all,

Yes this definately helps. Now I just need to find suitable rubber strips somewhere. Any hints? Of course Trevor might have those, have to find out.

Thanks Paul, I need to examine the door closer. I can propably figure out the correct position and dimensioning of the support strip from the old parts now that I know there should be such a strip. Thanks for the hood seal drawings as well. Can you also tell which type of ruber the seals are, are th...

Hi again, I have a couple of quesions now. First of all, what is the 4AD door internal construcion supposed to be. Should there be a door skin supporting strip inside the door, going horizontally across the door about midway in door height? I have doors from two different cars, the other has a strip...

OK, just as I remembered. Here is a picture of the boot badge from my 1954 4ADT Roadster.

No 2 cars are alike :) I am starting to feel the same, quite confusing. I have also found and heard about quite a lot of differences between Singer individuals. My car is a 1954 model but according to factory records it left the factory as late as April 1955. This far it is the only confirmed Singe...

Ah, of course, that is the reason. I was not initially logged in and when I started to write the reply I logged in and after sending the post I could see the picture.

Am I losing my sight or what...

Now I can see the picture. Huh.

Hmmm, strange. I looked at the board from work today and thn I could see the picture Mark posted. But for some reason I cannot see the picture from my home computer now. Has the picture disappeared or is it because my work computer is XP + Internet Explorer 6 and home computer Vista + IE 7 Anyway, a...

Thanks Mike. In some sense there is no point fabricating so many parts myself because some of those parts are available. However after restoring a couple of cars already i have found out the main point in this hobby for me is the fact that i can work with my handsa dn become better at that. By doing...

Hi, I manufactured new side grilles myself. It did require manufacturing a couple of special tools but they turned out just perfect. I used stainless steel as the material, that way i avoided the need to chrome them. Polished stainless steel is just like chrome, only slightly more yellow. Some pictu...

Hi Dave,

If you still need pictures about these plates I can take some photos for you. I should have those and an engine block in my garage.

Thank you all for your comments. One thing I've been wondering is the color of the engine/gearbox. When restoring the engine i asked also here about the engine color. Most comments said the correct color is "primer" red and many pictures indeed show red engines. However the engine in my ca...

Hi, I am currently in the middle of a full ground up restoration of a 1954 Singer 4ADT. The chassis is ready, as well as repairing the bodywork. I am currently adjusting the fit of the body panels and preparing the body for painting. I have created a website about the Singer and my previous restorat...

Hi, Thank you all for your comments. I did browse the previous forum message subjects but somehow I totally missed the bonnet hinge bracket thread. I see that Paul Beck has two different barackets which to be look suitable but which one is correct? A) http://www.vintagecarparts.co.uk/en/1674~bonnet+...

Hi, Im restoring a 4AD roaster from 1954. I am totally missing the fixtures that attach the hood hinge strip to the bulkhead and radiator support. Im planning to fabricate the fixtures but would nee info on their dimensions and shape. Can someone take picture(s) of these fixtures for me? I assume th...
