Re: Grease nipples
I'm coming back on the subject. The steering bar nipples are different. On my picture, the one the left is from the king pin correct 5/16 BSF, the one on the right is from the steering bar. It is also 5/16 diameter but with a larger thread pitch. Is it 5/16 SAE ? I thought SAE thread pitch was small...

Re: Fuel tank sender
Thanks for your helpful message.
Maybe a VW beetle sender is what they refer to :
I'll ask my "beetle expert" (or "coccinelle" as we call them here) friend.

Fuel tank sender
Hi all, i'm now working on the fuel tank of my '37 9 sports. I've removed the fuel tank sender and it's of course completely rotten and stuck. I don't see any in Dave Hardwick's catalog. Would anyone have a suggestion for a replacement one from another vehicle ? http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/859...

Spotted at an Amilcar event
A nice 9 Le Mans was participating to the annual Cercle Amilcar-Pégase excursion which took place nearby. Regrettably, i arrived too late to discuss with the owner. http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/502691DSCN2469.jpg http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/308897IMG3951.jpg http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics...
