Re: wood body drawings, dimensions, etc.
Word of warning - exercise care! These are from one car, said to be original from factory, and as I found out not all are the same - they are a guide only, but certainly better than nothing and I could not have got by without them.

Crank handle / driving light support bar
Hi, see attached. Has anyone attempted making the support bar? I have the end pieces. Rather than spend ages experimenting if anyone has been successful in making one it would be a great help. Thanks

Re: 1934 Sports
I was generously provided by a UK owner (who was a draftsman) sets of drawings taken from an “original” ‘34 car. I know he has shared them elsewhere and would not mind me doing so. Like all items of this nature care has to be exercised in interpretation as these were taken from an existing, complete...

Re: 1934 Sports
Exactly the reason you noted, he wanted to beef up the structure to save on any need for future repairs. No other reason.

Re: New Project
Try saturating the leather to the point that it is wet, and leave, with leather saddle oil. The tub I have is verrry old but works a treat, even on my tool roll. It seems to be natural lanolin base.

Re: Rotax E418 generator.
Thanks, as I understand mine had the field wires removed when it was reconditioned and converted. But, after seeing your unit, I am now uncertain where the field and wire connects. Can you assist?

Re: 1934 Sports
On the cars i haved looked at they all had the steel reinforcing. I always assumed it was to support the spare tyre hanging basically from this timber frame and to spread the load. It has not always been identical, creative license has entered once again, but the idea has been the same.
