Looks Good mate What's it made out of please It looks like a flannel type material to me

Hey Matt That's not the DB tool roll on the sill panel

Glad I am not at your place You would turf me out with the junk and the scrap

John ,We never cease to learn My Motto is I have made so many mistakes today Tomorrow I will make some more just to perfect them

John, As old Slim Dusty said in his song "you've done us proud " That is one beautiful restoration You must be very proud of what you have achieved

Same this end Mike. The DB 2249 series Senior is a rare car anywhere and mine with an Aussie touring body is one of 250 that were made so I can feel for you. We have no choice to become "Industrious" and make our own parts

Beautiful workmanship Thank you for sharing These little things help others that become stuck with a problem

Go to a Catapillar dealer Their bolts are the dux nuts

Ian I never made the bows There is a chap at the VCC does them and very well to I must add

Safe traveling Doug Happy Easter to you all

Thank you for the pic

Hi , Would it be possible for you to photograph the rear seat and the width of the pleats I have a friend who is restoring a Dec 16 Tourer and he has nothing to go by Thanks Ron

Tom and Cindy Myers at Myers Early Dodge are agents in the US

Thank you for being the unpaid secretary Matt

Mate it took3 days to do that 368 miles

Back when I started my career as a long distance driver the first trip that I went on was to Tom Price ,a new iron ore town in the Pilbara region of Western Aust. Most if not all operators those days still ran tube type tyres and only the rich ran steel belted ones The bloke that I drove for was still running old rag cross ply ones From the turn off at Nanutarra to Tom Price was 268 miles and in that distance I broke down and repaired 84 punctures so I have had my share of lock rim type wheels Back in the day on a good trip 8 plus flats were not unusual On the particular trip that I had so many was because they had graded the road a couple of days before and all of the skins as we call them here were scraped in from the edges and it contained lots of 4 inch nails Those days we all done our own tyre changing and repairs Over the years with tubeless steel belted tyres it became quite rare to get punctures Thank God for progress

Mark I would have done 10,000 ks looking for bits and pieces for my old girl The catwalks were all rusted like mine so I had no choice but to reproduce 2 new ones I sill have the jig that I made to do the job just in case some other Dodgey person needs some down the track

You were lucky that the cat walks were in good condition I had to remake a set for my DB Senior

Glad to hear the Bob has weathered (Purdon the pun) another flood and that he is safe and well Keep your spirits up Bob we are all thinking of you even in the West

Doug, The SENIORS came in 3 models those made in 27 were the 2249 series those made up until the end of May 28 were the 2251 Series and then came the 2252 series I believe the DB series was a continuation of the Senior Series that ran into 1930-31 I have an owners manual for a 2249 and one for a 2252 series that i can copy for you It wont be straight away as at present I have still only the use of 1 arm

What model Senior Doug ?

Nige might need some more

We pray and hope that all of you on the East Coast are safe from the devastating floods Especially Robert B in Tweed Heads I remember seeing the photos of Robert's cleanup from the last time his place went under So so sad Keep your eyes on the DB face Book site for so updates on the DB rally in West Aust. We promise it is going to be a fantastic one

Glad that you have found what is more than likely the problem The consequences would have been catastrophic if left unsorted

And there's that old saying Can't be that silly just playing with one
