Received a new toy today! Hoping to make more interesting carb parts soon… [ATTACH]
Not many Riley carbs out there, nice score! There were some repops made a while back… hopefully there are some extra float bowl covers left over....
Not many major changes during the “black car” period, but the “high” firewall and radiator along with the crowned fenders suggest ‘23-‘25. Most...
I believe the predecessor to the Giant and Simmons was the Waukesha-Ricardo
Don’t waste your time scanning it… the part is too simple. The scanner will pick up all the minute imperfections and distortions, and they will...
As I understand, Donovan made some years ago that were for D size Winfield carbs. Not sure if any other manufacturers or carb sizes. The only...
Pops is doin good… latest project on his coupe is repairing a roached Winfield intake manifold, welding it up and remachining to accept a SR-C...
The engine in my dads ‘31 coupe came out of a Toro tractor from that same era. Diamond block with counterweighted “C” crank so can’t complain

Hard to tell without opening them up, but good news is that engines rarely wear out when sitting in a barn. Many banger cores have -.050” cranks...
Had the same issue years ago in an A bone headed to the salt, brass worked well to fill the holes. Tried a T motor a few years later, not so...
The last pic shows a fender relief. These fenders are mounted on standoffs, not original to the body. An opera coupe would explain the long rear...
