No way Doug The switch that I fitted is self canceling I know that it would be me for sure so I have avoided that embarrassment

Gee Doug you only have animals that steal from you My kangaroos form a guard of honor for me as i walk to the shed Rather privileged don't you think

Ain't got Covid Doug My lungs are shot from an infection 16 years ago The bug that sat me on my backside then is called Legionella virus Almost killed me but thanks to a great Doctor I am still here to give you guys "Aussie" English lessons and to be the screw Detective

Will do. I won't be able to post it until Monday Pay pal is OK

Hi Anthony, I have a complete Bendix drive to fit your starter motor You can have it for the cost of postage Cheers Ron

Harry, Some DB purists don't class the Senior Series as "true " Dodge Brothers cars because the engines were built by Continental to DB specifications So yes to answer your question yes

I will look in my stash in the morning and get back to you

Let me know how you go If the Plymouth spring is not successful I am sure that I have a couple of spares

I believe that the Englishmen call them Wings and our friends from the mighty U.S. of A call them Fenders I might be wrong as I have been known to be on other occasions

Mate they're Mudguards They only flap on a T model

Then he will have one of them foreign tyres that go wop wop wop Well Cobber over here you would be called a Toffee Nose

Start from the back Undo the bell at rear back of the transmission Undo rear spring u bolts and slide the rear end back From what others have said you have to undo the bolts in the side of the frame and slide the engine and trans back to remove it as a unit

Well Cobber you will just have to reschool and learn some Aussie It isn't hard If I can do it anyone can

Bugger the cupper have a grappa or a rum

Thanks Mark, The ones on my car are different I did get a pair like you have but they were no good for the DB The are quite easy to make if yo have the patients

Mark I have been following your post with interest Your Upholstery is looking fantastic cobber Your car has very similar if not the same windscreen stanchions as my 2249 DB Senior What did you do for rubber gaskets between the body and the stanchions Ron

All went well with the surgery I am home and now have had dinner (gee I was starving This bloody fasting has got whiskers on )So far I am not experiencing any discomfort pain wise The pad over the eye is annoying but that can come off in the morning The most annoying bit is that I will miss out on upholstery class as no driving for three days and I can't risk going down to the shed for a few days because of the dust from doing the body frame of the 29 Buick roadster Not to worry I am sure that I will find something to amuse me There are lots of other clean chores that I can do Thanks to you all for your support Like Doug I am not to happy with others messing with my peepers

Unfortunately I will not be able to do much on my Senior for a few day as I am going in for eye surgery this afternoon My left eye is bad with cataracts so it's off for some repairs I am surprised that they can still get parts for this 70 year old model Will keep you posted on how it all goes

Glad you got out for a shot jaunt in the Roadster The little satisfied smile on your dial is proof that you are having a grouse time

No Doug they are all in my yard Had 7 this morning happily grazing near my shed

I remember my late father in law telling me that back in the 50s used car lots would do this sort of thing to "freshen" up an old car before it was put out on the lot for sale Unfortunatley there are no coloured original photos about They still look nice though

Hello to all of my Dodgey friends Sorry I have no progress photos but progress is being made I have finished the rear seat base. Got rid of that ugly corner on the left front and I have cut and sewn in one end of the back part of the seat Hopefully I will finish it next week It's hard only having access to the sewing machine and Johns help and advice for about 6 hours each week but beggars can't be choosers We are making progress Today I stripped and wired up the signal flasher switch I have restored a switch from a 1963 Bedford truck. I like this particular switch as they self cancel and they have a warning light built in I have used cotton covered plastic insulated wire as well Should have that finished tomorrow if all is well

Gee I envy you guys We don't have any Grandies as my beautiful wife had fertility problems However I have some fantastic nieces and nephews that are very close and their little one treat us like grand parents

Even with the DB 2249 Seniors there were different sized wheels My mate has one that is 240 cars older than mine and his has 19s My car has 20s so who knows what was going through their heads

I will drink to that
