I have had some troubles with the stromberg e-fire distributor. Having spent quite a bit of time with the multimeter testing multiple things, I...

I have had some trouble shooting with my e-fire distributor. It is a 12v three bolt unit. The engine ran for about 20 seconds then lost spark. I...
The generator is a "Rotax" brand out of London. Google came up with aeroplane engines, but nothing that looked similar.
It sure is different, thank you! The point is made of brass, I have no idea what it came off. I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks it's cool!
Well it's been a little while since I've posted any progress. I have recently sold a few things to afford some parts to help my progress. I am...
Sounds good, you're welcome any time!
Yesterday I dragged out some parts for another engine I'm building up, and today I got to mock up the little "Wade" supercharger. I was lucking...
I just did a rough mock up of mine today. [ATTACH][ATTACH]
Thank you for sharing, it gives me reassurance I'm doing something right, haha!
Unfortunately there's no crazy story on the wheel covers other than I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to purchase them. Their condition...
It's been a while since I posted any progress. I have the 32 heavy axle under the roadster, 46-48 wishbone, made some progress scrounging parts...
I like this a lot. I have just started an English wheel conversion from a bandsaw built around the turn of the century. It was destined for scrap...
Thank you so much!
I spent some time tonight modifying the sump, and clutch cover for the roadster, to clear the wishbone. I like the idea of not splitting the...
Not much progress on the roadster. Engine will be ready to run soon. I managed to score a set of rare Aussie wire wheel covers for the roadster,...
John was the first person I thought might have one locally at his shop, but unfortunately I had no luck. I did get a gasket set off him.
I'm going through starter motors, generators, cleaning, repairing and painting the best ones. The fuel pump is next. I still need to get a new...
I managed to collect a few parts from storage a few weeks ago, including parts for the roadster I needed to keep moving forward. Over the past few...
270 of the Aussie panel vans were made and a lot were wrecked because of the wood in the rear, so they are quite rare. The body number on mine is...
I have come across some decent stuff lately. I would concider it to be luck. Covid has slowed down roadster progress for now, until I collect a...
Thanks mate!
Thank you for the advice, I have changed out the Pittman arm for a NOS original as well as changed out some other items that may have had...
Looking great! I thought I'd subscribed to this build, and only just found it again!
I am not saying, or implying I abuse animals if you read your own link.
"it goes like a scalded cat" comes to mind.
Yes it was rough, and that is part of the reason I worked on other panels and projects to sell. Other than making money to fund tools and parts to...
I still haven't finished playing with the look of the paint, and a lot of it is original paint with crusty touch ups where I put patch panels in....
