Hello Gary, where are you located ? I am in Toronto, Canada. My phone # is 905 889 0621. My email is hsahu8034@gmail.com. Anytime. Cheers. Harry.

From what you are saying the problem is ground. REBOOT .Wire may seem to be grounded but the are not, No. 1 , engine to frame to battery is the starting pint. No use running around until this first step

There is one place in the cylinder head into which the expansion tube goes in. It is threaded inside so you can tighten the tube in. If you can insert an electric heat sensor in that recess successfully you will be able to use a dash gauge from the 40's or later and switch the insides. Note; One terminal will be wired to the battery and the other to the sender. Also some modern electrical gauges are controlled by a voltage regulator which runs about 8 volts. If the system is a 6 volts you may be lucky to succeed. Or you may use a 6 volts dash gauge. You may be able to fabricate an outlet on the thermostat housing for the sender unit. THIS IS NOT A JOB FOR THE TIMID.

That rubber doughnut goes inside the door. You will have to remove the panel and install from inside. Those 3 holes are for adjusting the the distance the door will open, How wide opening required.

Unbalanced tires will run smooth up to certain speeds , then Wham, vibrations. Above vibrations the wheel will smooth out again.

On the passenger side toe board. not the floor board.On the driver side wood sill there is a sheet metal with numbers.

I once saw a Buick driver had the inside of the tank fiber glassed. The car was stalling frequently all over the place without notice. The problem was a piece of fiberglass was floating around inside. He replaced the tank with a new one. What you may try is to steam the tank out and paste the outside with solder. Another repair is to have the tank galvanized Dipped. There are places that galvanizes all kind of steel. Another way is to cut it open at the seam, galvanize it and then solder or braze it back together.

Drove a 12 mile return trip to work with a Rabbit diesel. About 9 miles of that trip was freeway driving. Before changing lanes I had to make sure the intended lane was a 1/4 mile clear behind. Now I shudder to think the chances I took with my life.

This wire can be bought from electronic supplier TUBES AND MORE. by the foot.

A 1986 Volaray 6 cylinder . Bought it used from a lady school teacher who drove it not more than 30 MPH, 15 miles a day to school, from new ,for a few years. I tried to drive it on the freeway . With the pedal to the metal it will not go more than 55 MPH. Very dangerous on the freeway. Sold it after a couple months.

Yes, the engine is under the bonnet and we store things in the boot. Gasoline is petrol and the thing around the wheel is a tyre. The topless car is a roadster and sometimes refered to as a ragtop. Take your pick. Not against the law. Cheers.

Hi Gary 56.. Thanks for the picture , mate . A picture is worth a thousand words. I see spitting images of my 28 D B senior that I am currently restoring. Please do not discard the smallest sample of wood or metal parts. This is going to be a costly project. I am about 14 grand and still counting. Be prepared. It is very nice of members offering books etc, but at this stage no need for books. . If youl ike I can guide you. Have you removed the roof as yet ? You will have to start from there. Feel free to contact me through this forum or email me hsahu8034@gmail com

Good morning richard m. looking at the picture of the clutch assembly the fingers are out out of wack with each other. If I read you correctly you changed the fingers . And now you want to adjust them back to height. I do not like to tell people what to do. I will suggest only. Remove the flywheel and place on the bench face up, put the disc on and then the pressure plate. Bolt the pressure on the flywheel down pat. Look at the fingers , you will see the difference in heights. The the fingers can be adjusted slowly one at a time until they are level. YOU ARE NOT FINISHED YET. Adjusting the disc with the pressure plate is another step. Cheers mate. Have a nice day.

marcapra, good morning. Looking at the picture of the clutch I say it is in bad shape. However you have all the answers you need from hwellens. Unless you have those tools handy you may be better off to send it to a shop that repairs and relines clutch. It definately needs some fingers. The only thing I can add is inspect ring gear and machine hot spots on flywheel. Cheers Have fun.
