  1. I would connect it up to your battery and then add an increasing amount of load, multiple headlamp bulbs ? In parallel until it energises and switches on and off rapidly. For a quick and dirty test you could momentarily short out the output and see if it operates. I had some dodgy wiring that fed an aftermarket wiper motor, which shorted out one day when I was testing the lights during the cars recommissioning. They make a right racket when working. I think the cut out current is quoted in the owners manual.
  2. From my records belt part number was 6621ES
  3. I used a gates belt on mine. Not sure if the part number is clear enough?
  4. I purchased one from James Peterson in the states (his email address should be on the forum)
  5. A sensible modification, it will regulate to the battery’s / cars needs (3rd brush is a compromise) and there will be less chance of the generator charging flat out and throwing its solder if it’s disconnected from the battery for any reason (broken wire etc.). I fitted an electronic regulator inside the brush cover band on my 75 , looks original from the outside.
  6. I looked at these for my 1929 75, slightly shorter than yours ? But haven’t purchased yet. www.kaiserwillys.com/products/fram-style-oil-filter-canister-assembly-kit-fits-46-64-truck-station-wagon-jeepster/.
  7. Bill, My 1929 75 built for export has a UX-2, as Jon pointed out it suffered the same fate as the DB-20 and dissolved. I have new aluminium castings from Australia. Not got round to assembling it yet. John
  8. Hi Bill, yes it’s a 75 coupe, I can take some more photos if needed. ta John
  9. John, I am using Penrite transoil 250 in my 75 mixed with a small amount of STP oil treatment. John
  10. Hi Joe, Have you seen this guy ? Obviously an advert for his company but some useful behind the scenes info. John
  11. Thanks Sasha39, yes that is the one I am looking at on ebay. I have asked the seller for a few more dimensions but it looks like it’s a 65 one. Will keep looking.
  12. Mine is also 3 3/8” down the centre. As they say a picture explains........ now you can see why I am looking for a replacement.
  13. Thanks all, This is my original 75 cap. (RHD for export) Anyone tried to get one to fit with the other style of bayonet ?
  14. Does anyone know if I can fit this 1930’s era rad. cap To replace this one. On a 1929 Chrysler 75. Bayonet fittings slightly different. thanks
  15. Working with a friend changing front coil springs on a Vauxhall, he was fitting the spring compressors to one of the new springs had got them just about tightened fully down when one compressor slipped sideways and worked it’s way round to the other trapping his fingers in between. I had to use a screwdriver between the clamps to release him, whilst being slightly worried at the banana shape of the angry spring. I Had a accident damaged scrap car parked outside the garage for a few weeks whilst parts were removed. Came out the door in a hurry one day and tripped, my hands went out to save my fall but unfortunately the headlamp glass was broken on that side of the car, trip to A&E for stitches on one finger. Had finished a busy day in the garage with same friend, no injuries whilst working but on cleaning the tea mugs in the sink the handle on one broke and the remaining bit sliced a 180 round my ring finger. He thought I was joking till the dish water turned crimson, another trip to A&E for more stitches and a delayed visit to the pub.
  16. I hope they aren’t getting any E10 fuel, those lines don’t look ethanol resistant. The series Cuban Chrome was shown in the U.K., their lack of spares defiantly led to some ingenuity when repairs or restoration were needed.
  17. My 75 has the remnants of the vac. system for the wiper. A pipe is tee’d into the fitting on the autovac that supplies engine vacuum, then into the car to a small round control valve mounted on the lower edge of the dash. I assume the pipe to the wiper then went up the a pillar ? Converted to electric wiper by a previous owner.
  18. My 75 has them (front wheels only) I understand Rolls Royce used a similar system. http://www.boddice.co.uk/bpic2533.html
  19. A friend bought a vw beetle that was part complete, with my help he finished the restoration and on the first move under its own power it unexpectedly went backwards in first. Luckily no damage was done and we quickly realised that who ever rebuilt the trans. axle put the crown wheel on the wrong side of the pinion. Taking a customers car for MOT test and watching as the tester put one foot through the open door to increase the revs for the emissions test and then hopping along the garage floor as the car (automatic) took off in reverse. The open door met with the post of the lift and it folded it neatly back against the front wing. I insisted the tester made the phone call to the customer.
  20. My 1960 Beford CA Van has a hand crank. I have used it when the battery is almost flat, usually starts on the first compression. Still always keep my thumb on the same side as my fingers save any kickback breaking it.
  21. My 1929 75 had them on the front wings. Looks factory as the wiring is same as the rest of car.
  22. Hi John, I found a photo in my late fathers album of a 1930 Chrysler 77 that came into the garage he was working at in the U.K in 1958. Although the rear of the car is different from yours the windscreen and doors including the 3 hinges look very similar. Unfortunately I have no further information on the car other than it was the catalyst for him buying the 75 I still have.
