  1. Hi All

    When the steering wheel turns, is the horn button and headlamp switch stalk supposed to turn with the steering wheel. If this is so then what prevents the headlamp switch from over winding or constantly altering the headlamps.

    My switch was disconnected but I want to have a go at restoring it.

    Thanks for the advice.

  2. Hi all thanks again for the advice.

    The car was from a very dry dusty type area most of its life in operation. It was then put into a wear house in 1973 until I found out and purchased it 2 years ago. The engine and chassis numbers all match as per the registration documents in my country. I also found some white paint markings on the chassis frame when cleaning it to repaint. There is no rust on the chassis frame and body.

    See pics for better idea of the condition and I would appreciate any advice to get this car back to original.

  3. Hi All

    Thanks for the on going advice. I removed the brake lines from my 31 PA and first saw them to be copper in colour but as i cleaned them I found the copper colour comming off turning them to a silver colour. The same for the fuel line.

    What material are these pipes supposed to be made from original, copper or steel. What would you suggest I do going forward.

    Thanks

  4. Hi would someone tell me if my 3 finger pressure plate can be adjusted to get the fingers to sit further away from the clutch plate. My car clutch kit in the assembled position shows very little travel for the release bearing to push before it reaches the end of its stroke + - 10 mm.

    I will try post some pics tomorrow.

    Thanks

  5. Hi all

    I came across an engine mount torque spring for a 1931 Plymouth PA. it looks like half of a front leaf spring pack.

    This part confuses me because I just got my 4 Cylinder PA started up but do not recall seeing this part on my car. Am i missing this part on my car? It is quite a large part and I would see it if it was there or I should notice something missing if it is not there.

    Can anybody post some pics or advise me if this part is supposed to be on my car.

    Thanks

  6. Hi Monaco

    I am a junior member in South Africa. My 1931 PA had a complete fiber gasket when I removed the manifolds. See pic attached.

    I sent it together with the head gasket to an approved gasket manufacturer in my country to make up new ones and they made both out of copper plates with fibrous material in between. Hope this info helps or maybe some of the experienced members can share their knowledge.

    I am looking for a Carter DRT 8 carb for my car and would appreciate any info or part that you may have for me.

    Good luck

  7. Hi All

    I am a junior member and need help with my restoration.

    On the back plate of my water pump there is corrosion but I am not sure if the corrosion has caused it to develop into a hole or is there supposed to be a hole in that area. Please see pic for better understanding.

    Thank you in advance.
