Re: External Oil Filter for 1949 4A

Found this on http://www.vintagecarparts.co.uk, a nice looking replacement for the original.

Re: NASOC 40th - STOWE, 2014...FINAL SCHEDULE...

Another Stowe has come and gone. While the number of cars did not match our all-time high of a couple of years ago there were plenty of members and other enthusiasts to make things interesting! The weather held out and the expected rain did not appear. The temperature did make the coffee vendors hap...

Re: NASOC 40th - STOWE, 2014...FINAL SCHEDULE...

Everyone is probably in their final preparations for the show... as are we! The theme for this year is "Toys for Boys" or "Big Toys for Big Boys" If you have any Singer related toys (aside from your own car of course) then feel free to bring it along. My trusty old Roadster will ...

Re: 4AD Paint Details

Hi Fred,

The inside of the bonnet was painted black. I would presume that the side panels for the bonnet were also black. As for the rest (wings, running boards, etc. ) I can't say for sure.

Hope that this helps!

Re: STOWE 2012 AN AMAZING SUCCESS!

XXII - 22nd British Invasion at Stowe... 22 Singers in attendance! I was amazed at the turnout! A big thank you to all who attended with or without cars. As usual Stowe is not without its bumps! Dave Craig's Gazelle suffered from fuel pump problems on the return half of the Ballam Run. Lucky (if you...

Re: super 10

Hi John,

Great News! Spares for the Super Ten are few and far between BUT they do surface from time to time. Fortunately, like most other Singers, parts substitutes are the way to go. Things like engines, brakes and electricals are easier than body panels.

Re: Singer (9) Engine identification?

Very curious, very curious indeed! It is a 1074 that is for sure. The interesting thing that I saw was that you have a SU Petrol pump on the bulkhead... the A and 4A had a mechanical pump just below the distributor (it is actually driven by a cam on the distributor/oil pump drive shaft). Does your e...

Re: Convertible top rear end attachment

Hi Kabu, You are correct that the bottom edge of the top is attached to the wood spar that runs across the back of the compartment. I have seen what I believe to be original material still stuck on the spar that is doubled over making me think that a single layer of material may not be enough so it ...

Re: Shock absorber links

Winter rolled back its chilly carpet for the day allowing me to get to the front of the car!

Ok, I measured the front link. Mine are 5.75 inches long and unlike the rear links one stud points outboard, the other inboard.

Hope that helps!

Re: Brake drums

Hi Michael, Not sure of what cars you can use the drums from. I have a set (used of course) but shipping them may be costly. If you can not get anything from Bill or the SOC (because they are closer) then let me know. Paul PS - I will try to measure the front links as soon as I can. My Roadster is p...

Re: Shock absorber links

I managed to measure the rear links: 4 3/8 inches from stud center to stud center. Mounting studs are on the same side The studs are straight - non-tapered. I will try to get the front ones measured, just have to get things uncovered from the winter cover! The front ones have one end pointing in and...

Re: QUEEN"S ENGLISH 2011

I would definitely like to be there but it is too soon to commit. March 20th is not that far away, but in between now and then there are a few things that may happen at work (possible change of job, contract negotiations to name but two). This may a last-minute one for me, but having been there once...
