Remy Generator required for my 1923 Mitchell.

Hi John Thanks for the information. No it is not a sleeve valve engine.The engine I have is probably 1913 - a year before the sleeve valve.

Hello from New Zealand I am currently undergoing a full restoration project on a 1914 Mors ( French ). I have just started to strip down the engine to ensure all is in good working order - so far , just looking like a new set of oil rings is required. The engine came with four original sparkplugs, unfortunately two pairs of different brands. All are in perfect working condition. Oleo Magneto #7 x 2 Eyquem Mors x 2 ( 2 photos with Eyquem on one side and Mors on the other) I am looking for another pair to match either brand. Also looking for 2 Green Splitdorf plugs ( larger base ) I have attached some photos. Any assistance would be appreciated.

They are under the seat panel in the rear passenger seat.

Thanks to everyone for your feedback and comments.

Hello. Looking for some more advice. My 1911 EMF is right hand drive. I have attached some photos of the batteries bank , wiring loom etc as well as other photos of the restortation project. On the drivers side door there is a small on/off button that appears to be looped back to the main wiring loom. I cannot find reference to it in the parts handbook. Maybe an aftermarket addition but would like any feedback on what it could be.

Thank you. My current engine runs fine. Only travelled 45000 miles and when I pulled it down during the restoration I only put new rings in it and put it back together. No wear on any other parts apart from the water pump leak.

Looks like the shaft has pitted over time and leaks water when stationary. I have packed the water pump shaft and this has worked to some degree and does not leak when the engine is running. I am trying to avoid taking the pump off completely as I have to remove the engine to gain access for its removal.

Very much appreciated. What cars do you have in your collection ?

Hello from NZ. I have recently finished the restoration of my 1920 Davis Phaeton Tourer. It runs a Continental 7R engine. Having problems with water pump but have always wanted to get a spares engine to have in reserve. Very difficult to find. Some Moon cars also run the same engine. Welcome any enquires.

I have contacted this guy via this forum but having no luck in getting any information from him.

I have just purchased a 1911 Mors restoration project. The gearbox that came with the project is a brand called Fafnir. It is very similar to a Mors gearbox that I have seen on the PreWar website but I cannot find any information on this brand of gearbox. Can anyone assist - what cars used these gearboxes ? It is a 4 speed gearbox. Photo attached.

Hi Looking for any technical information , parts manuals or parts guide for 1911 / 1912 Mors

Well, the Mors project is alive and well ! I have purchased this project and it looks like the majority of mechanical parts are there , although plenty of restoration and puzzles to solve as I start to sort through everything. No body parts apart from radiator surround, fuel tank cowling and two front guards. Options for type of body shape are wide open ! Two engines that will enable one complete engine to rebuilt from both. Two differentials and one gearbox and majority of other parts to complete mechanicals. Chassis is in excellent condition. Will keep you posted on progress.

Cadillac price was $8000 USD. ( $ 15000 NZD ) - far too much with what was required to rebuild the car. The 1912 Mors is still a big project but potentially an opportunity. Still sorting through all the photos and parts that were available. Very limited body work or panels. Two engines but missing carburettor and magneto etc. Majority of parts have been sourced from Europe and Australia. Have attached some photos of the parts and a photo of a completed car. I was hoping that the Mors was going to be a Tourer and not a Roadster.

Hi Charley Thanks for that link . I have seen this vehicle and used photos to check on the instrument panels etc for the Cadillac I am looking at at. Unfortunately , I will not be proceeding with the purchase of this project. Existing body panels require replacement - totally rusted out. No rear doors, petrol tank or rear body panels. Chassis has been modified to fit two in line differentials as the two speed differential is not with the vehicle. In fact it is in two halves , not in good condition and requires rebuilding and welding to get it back to original chassis. The wheels and rims shown in photographs need replacing - fallows, spokes and nubs plus rims. Really disappointed with what was presented in the advertisement and what was actually physically presented, together with a much inflated price for the vehicle. However , the 1912 Mors car project looks promising , so all is not lost ! John

Hi Charley. I’m looking at the car tomorrow. Will contact u when I have had a good look at it. Have u seen the photos on my posting ? John
