  1. for sure the AACA members have it going on.......I was coming up empty on every internet search. Many thanks for the identification. I tip my hat to you all...! Tim
  2. For the collective knowledge of the AACA I submit this poser. It was located at the swap meet an a box of car logos and emblems and seller could not state but that he gleaned it at the wrecking yard. I think it is a Viking ship but as a side profile and not head on, not Rover...if a swan the tail feathers are point inside the body and not out....anyone know this emblem....as always, thanks for looking and taking part. has 734 in raised letters on the back....3 studs for mounting and use of barrel clips two circular mold marks with T.R inside one and a combo of letter/emblem I cannot decipher
  3. Looking for correct application for a Bilstein jack that was among a large collection of older Brit car parts, am sure not for a Brit car and style appears to be Mercedes or along that line at least. Does not appear to be Porsche/VW Bilstein AB1574, internet search came back empty. Thanks for your help. edit note.....cleaning the part number show the number 5 instead of my first read of 0 so part number is AB1574 my apologies...still nothing concrete returned from an online search of this number either outside one person guess and calling out about everything made in Germany.. PS...I hate auto correct.....lol
  4. The clubs that revolve about the small Brit cars here in the US especially my quadrant of America seem to dwell around show only with a hospitality room, local tour events and a wine and dine at the end of the awards ceremony. Too much pomp and circumstance/pedigree for the average 'get your hands dirty' owner/builder of the various makes and models and they have all but done away with the swap meet portion of the shows. The last two events/shows I attended had no swap section though advertised and at that save a couple folks were often just offering books on x models for sale or trinkets like Union Jack logo stuff. At most these books were "the story of..." and nothing but picture books with zero pertinent data to the repair and maintenance at any degree....a coffee table book if you will for idle minds. I think many organizers do not like the 'organized chaos' of the display of used parts and such in and about the arena of the event. Whatever their thinking, the lack of a swap meet has totally turned me from any attending any future Brit car show event. Not worth the time or trouble to attend. Don't get me wrong, I like a clean finished car as much as the next man, I just prefer having access to parts to be able to reach that point in a build just a tad bit better.....the combined event of swap and show is truly a win win and many meets are shooting themselves int eh foot for gate money by not hosting the swap.
  5. that would be a bet I would not take....unfortunately, seems these cars don't draw much attention in the deep south
  6. no longer of a concern, seems a large bother to many
  7. I requested the diameter of the wheel and the size of the register hole.....c
  8. I have been told that Champion used the 4 x 4" pattern with a rim width of 4" What I have not be told was the rim diameter (14/15) and the register opening diameter. Anyone have that information....looking as a possible source for a retrofit. Thanks....
  9. quick..turn right..there is a black 544 in your path... these little cars are quite the venture..if nothing else, they do tend to grow on you..I have a 62 Sport model...now where did I lay that spare 440 engine....lol
  10. makes you wonder a bit about the ad and selling agent .......New from a vintage British inventory. Gotta love it for sure......thanks for the daily chuckle
  11. the firing order also is related to engines with a counterclockwise rotation..
  12. how about the A L F fits the time line and firing order I think..truly just guessing here...lol
  13. not adding to the clutch/FD coupler..but I am happy to see another D19 Town Sedan out there...
  14. does not get much easier than this...... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=1%2F2-20+left+hand+wheel+bolts&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xmopar+left+hand+wheel+bolts.TRS0&_nkw=mopar+left+hand+wheel+bolts&_sacat=0
