  2. Many thanks for the help---- it went together just fine .
  3. I used the 5 little screws to mount the speedometer and clock to the dash along with one of the retainer rings . I now have one retainer ring and the chrome bezel along with the glass face left over. There is no visible way to attach these to the face of the clock and speedometer. What have I done wrong or is there another piece to the puzzle that I've miss placed?

  7. I'm restoring two post war Continentals at the same time.I've just compleated rebuilding the first V12.I could not find the head torque in any of my manuals,so I torqued it at 45 on the advise of a friend.

Well, I can't find a rear freeze plug and the engine is now together and painted.Any help would be appreciated.
