Thanks Paul, Looking at the crank nut, someone previous has used a chisel to get it off but I will make the right tools before I start. Last question, the motor has not turned for 50 years, when I got it I put the crank handle on it and it did turn (only a fraction as I wanted to know if it had locked up) but seemed very free. I don't want the engine to turn while I undo the bits (unsure of bore corrosion and the ports were un-covered), is there any easy method to lock the motor so it wont turn? Neil

Hi Roger, I've been told we have 8 in New Zealand, 2 in Auckland (I've been for a drive in one which was a 1930 coupe), 2 in Taranaki (1 is a ex vintage racecar out of Aussie and my 29 130), 1 in Southwards museum and one in the South Island, I cant re-call where the other 2 were but the guy who told me was sure there are 8. He also seemed to think the Auckland coupe was the only one in going condition, hoping mine will be the second one early next year, wont be pretty but will be drivable. Neil

Hi, 1929 engine, I need to remove the cooling fan housing for repairs (previous owner got keen with a cutting disk!). Looks easy....... What are the traps? Unscrew the crank clutch assembly. Remove the big nut from the crank. Pull the fan off (assume its a sliding fit only and keyed in place?). Unbolt the cooling housing. What gets exposed engine wise when the cooking fan housing is removed from the motor, gaskets etc? Thanks, if anyone has pics they would be helpful. Neil New Zealand

Has any done a conversion from a single system to a duel system but still using the original Wagner pedal and reservoir?
