They need greasing on a regular basis

I have most probably got a spare one I will check my stash of bits in the morning

Just a slot in the frame timber I made my own end caps to fit the straps where the fit to the door frame and I riveted a flat bar to the other end so they don't pull out of the slot

Rich They are fixed to the door and slide into the pillar when the door closes

I made up that Gizmo about 4 years ago for when I was paneling and repairing the fenders It has 4 adjustable legs with panel clamps welded on to each one I had the lowest part of the fender clamped where the fender mates to the frame and it was resting on the other two I had painted the underside 2 days prior to doing the outside You can get the information for this off UTube Look in Larse Tips and Tricks for metal shaping The paint is Wattyl Nylothane 2 pack

Is there anyone out there that knows if there are Videos or DVD available for making a new top for a late 1920s touring car I have started from scratch, restored the irons and have had new bows made Just need guidance now for the cover

Are the pins offset or straight If the pins are offset any modern 5 watt X 18 watt globe will do

T was told by an old fella mechanic that you never lubricate the spring leaves

Congratulations mate I wish that I could be able to come over and give you a hand I only have one good one at present but you would be welcome to it Got a call from J.P. from across the ditch last night and he is coming over

Had a wow of a time with Grant and his bride The grin on his face went past the ears it was that good He was astounded by the fact that my gearbox is very quiet The original one was stolen so the one that's in the car was built up out of 3 different ones using new bearings only

There is one in just about every club that I have been associated with They fail to remember that no matter how smart they are we all end up in a box at the end anyway

Thanks for posting Matt Looks terrible with the dusty left guard I am off back into Hospital tomorrow to have my shoulder redone so I am out of action for 6 weeks I have had friends that have said they will come and help me if I need it so all is good there My mate John came out and gave me a hand fitting this guard up Cost me a dozen free range eggs Very cheap labor

Gosh I need to put My glasses on

So how are you going to lubricate the spring bushes So how are you going to lubricate the spring bushes

Do them up the same as if they were nuts Tight

Looking Great Matt Is he coming over for the DB Rally?

Been on the Happy Havelock Matty

Thanks Cutdown I am all sorted mate Got them made ok

Yes I know that The sample that I have has been grossly over tightened and put a twist in the threads That's the reason that I had trouble in working out the # of TPI The 3 slots allow the gas to run down from the cup into the combustion chamber without having to unscrew the pin all the way out

Thank you all for you help Got them made Job all done and dusted Mark The one that I had as a sample had mangled threads The sealing taper was 45deg not rounded

They are but taking the exchange rate of the Aussie $ against the Greenback then add the highly over inflated postage charges out of the States our 4 little pins are a $AU 100 items

Hi nat Can you run a thread gauge over the threads on your pin The guy that I am making these for has come up with an old one and the thread seems to be 30 tpi on my gauge not 32 Thank you

Thank you nat that is exactly what I need to know

I made my own for my 28 DB Senior Tourer These are for the strap that goes from the body to the rear hood bow NOT all the way to the front bow

Hi I have been asked by another DB man to make some screw in pins to fit the primer cups of his 23 DB I need to know the thread size and the TPI thanks
