  1. Thanks for your replies. Yes I rather like the wooden spoke wheels,   the car isn’t original , it was cut down  into a roadster pick up many years ago  and the wooden wheels suit it.  There  is a wheel wright down here  which I will contact  and take it from  there, in the mean time  the offending wheel has had the ethylene glycol treatment

  2. The filter is a modern screw on type which screws down onto the the housing ., ( up side down  ) possibly  off an industrial engine ?

    c49er  the lower part of my housing is like your photo ,but the top section is flat  with a steel fitting  which the filter screws on to. 

    Thank you for all the replies

  3. c49 er.  --  Grimy       Yes that is what I have . I think some thing is missing . If I  remove the filter after the car has been sitting over night it has drained out ,----  completely empty.  If there is no drain back valve  available I intend to fit a piece of 7/16 tube into the steel fitting the filter screws on to, about 4in long , which will extend up inside the center of the filter and stop the oil from draining out. 

  4. Spinneyhill your king pins appear to be very similar to my 29 Chrysler.Very complicated way to remove the cotter pin , normally a hammer and punch will shift them.My thrust bearings are the same, they cleaned up and feel good so will be re used, I bought bronze bushes from the local bearing suppliers, drilled the hole and used the die grinder to make a small spiral groove for the grease. Intending to make my own king pins, can source some 7/8 chromed medium tensile shaft, but not sure if this is suitable, what do you think?
