Is there a German chapter or should I open one? Best regards Uli

Hi Grant, Is this your car or could it be mine? The seat cover looks very familiar to me. Best regards from Germany Ulrich PS: if still needed I can take pictures in high resultion of that area.

Hi, during the engine's rebuild the dipstick got lost. Does someone have one as a spare? Regards from Germany Ulrich

Interested as well. If it can be used for 12V as well it will be usable up to the end of 50's. Ulrich

Sounds like a good idea. I will try to put the Optima into the old NAPA housing. Maybe it will be higher but this should be no problem. Uli

I'm going with the 6V as well. To be on the save side I do have a Optima Yellow 6V in the trunk to be able to start the engine always. The standard 6V battery from NAPA is working well. As already mentioned keeping the connectors in good condition will help to stay with 6V. Uli

Thx for the info. Uli

If it's the same like '39 Special I can make some photos showing the assembly. br Uli

Don't go for a '39! There are enough in Germany now I'll visit California end of march. If I see something interesting from that era I will let you know. best regards Ulrich

I would like to put another license plate holder onto my '39 special. Therefore I'm looking for the original bracket to use it on the other side as well. br Uli

If the '39 piston is the same I can send you one of mine. I rebuild the engine with 0.030 pistons last year and have the old pistons still there. I need to check if there are still standard bore (but I guess they are). I've no clue how much shipping from Germany will cost. Uli

I saw that typo as well and modified the picture slightly to prevent "missunderstandings" during the technical inspection procedure Uli

Wow! Do you have this book? and if yes, can you scan that article and send it by email? If not I'll try to get a copy somewhere. Uli
