No Doug I haven't But I do have one off a Cadillac V8 and it is about 8 inches in diameter The ironic thing about it is the top and the inner tank is the same size as the one on my Senior

Hello Ian, Condolences to your family on your loss You are right, the border restrictions have been hard on many At present there is talk of moving the DB rally which is being held in Busselton to South East South Australia Hopefully now that restrictions are being lifted the committee will let us keep it in WA

I think that it is only a two seater body Quite common in the early 1900s

That is not a rear entry body Not unless there is another seat

I had a wonderful experience in going the the track to do this for an old Mate The spectators were thrilled to see the Senior carrying their past and present hero's and I was very humbled by the interest that was taken in my car The speedway group are a bit like our clubs they are all getting older The 3 past Champions that I had the pleasure of carrying started their racing careers in the 1970s as young men These guys still go to the meets for enjoyment The only problem is that yesterday when we had our local club Valentines day Rally I had to keep saying "what" as the ears were still hungover from the noise. I don't think I could go every meeting but if my old mate Jonny Fenton needed a favour I would most probably say yes

There is a hard dry section between the trach and the grasses infield and that is what I drove on The mud on that track is a sticky goo I had to cross the track at a slight angle but that section was drier than some parts

Looks fantastic mate Certainly nicer than it was

The whole subject has got me baffled

Don't fret Doug It catches up with us all at some stage

Maybe your water pump needs new seals and impeller

Thanks John, The Senior radiator has a baffle plate in the top tank to "spread" the water over the core If it is missing the pump tends to shoot the water straight up into the filler neck and consequently out the overflow tube

The one that I have measures 3 inches from the mounting flange to the end of the cone and the number is 18582.

I have a 4 cylinder nose cone if you need one I believe that the armature shaft is shorter as well

I take my hat off to the people that gave their time to complete the restoration that Doc started. It will be a fantastic testimony to a man that loved and shared his knowledge of these old Bodge Brothers Cars. Give yourselves a big pat on the back fellas.

Ya all a cheeky lot You will get old to one day then it will be my turn

I don't mind the Bastard bit mate but you can keep that old shit to yourself ya whipper snapper

Do Not yet Doug But he does have High lift DOHC door handles and a chrome plated dip stick

Hello Joseph, What a tragedy to have this happen I am restoring a 28 Senior RHD in Aust. Unfortunately the M/C housings are different on these models I do have some bits like the top and the part that the three pipes connect to If you need them I can send them to you ate your expense It is a beautiful looking car by the way I am restoring a 28 Senior Touring car Soft top Bodied by Holden Body builders In Adelaide South Australia There are pictures of my car on here

Mate I am so glad to do that small thing for you You are always helping others less fortunate in the skills dept. so as you say it's nothing that you are glad to help Blokes like you are one in a million mate

That's a good boy The "Screw Detective" will soon let you know if you use the wrong ones

I knew that I would get you going there Doug Happy New Year Mate

Have a Safe and Merry Christmas every one Best wishes to our DB brothers and sisters in the northern hemisphere

Yes will do via phone

There are no holes in my tub either The mounting bar for the brackets comes over the top of the tub

Frank are you looking for a Generator and starter motor or a starter generator unit because if you are your car is a early 26. DB changed to the 2 unit system in mid 26
