Re: Recreating Beatrice
Thanks Bruce and Mark! Did the Dynamat pay off? Well, I did finally pay off my Visa... Actually I think it was worth it. The car sounds much more solid and the shell no longer resonates like a taut guitar. I still have engine noise but I think it's due to my headers and air cleaner. The old cast iro...

Re: Recreating Beatrice
I think I am pretty much done (for now!). The seats, glove box door, and windshield wipers give it away that it is not a 1958 but other than that it is pretty close. I took these picture to show all of you the finished product. George[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1407628796_17089 [/fram...

Re: Recreating Beatrice
Sorry for the lack of posting. I was too hasty in blaming the quality of new speedometer cables. I reinstalled my old one and it snapped too. The problem was the NOS speedometer I bought. It was seized. I sent it in for a cleaning and recalibration (my 3.9 diff) and now all is well.[frame] http://mm...

Steering wheel position
I have a question about mounting my steering wheel. On a 1958 Morris should the third "spoke set" on the banjo steering wheel be pointing at six o'clock or twelve o'clock?
Thanks,
George
Thanks,

Re: Recreating Beatrice
Now that Spring is almost here I'm back in gear and getting down to the small things. I'm starting to run into problems with inferior replacement parts. I've tried to replace almost all small wearable part on the car but this strategy has its flaws if new is worse than 50 year old. I lost about four...

Re: Wire loom help please
You've probably already finished the work but I ran mine inside the cabin. I live on a dirt road and sometimes there is brush on the road. I wanted everything protected. I had to lengthen most wires.

wiring fuel gauge
I have a question on wiring my fuel gauge. I've put in a new wiring loom to my black 1967 (1408) speedometer. I'm having trouble getting the fuel gauge to read. Am I correct in thinking that A = green/black wire from fuel sender to fuel gauge, B = 10V power from the voltage regulator to fuel gauge, ...

Re: Austin 1970 pickup from Guatemala
The fact that you are willing to look away while stopped on an incline says it all! The grill chrome came out well and looks all lined up.

Re: Clutch adjustment
I can't remember which way, but tighten the adjustment by turning the nut. Just don't overtighten or the clutch will wear.

Re: Remove Control Box - Alternator
I put relays on the headlamp circuits because I wanted to run 60 watt headlamps while retaining the dash pull switch. Also the wiring loom I purchased from one of the major suppliers (rhymes with a bodily function) had very thin wires (16 or 18 gauge) so I needed to run new wires anyway.

Re: Recreating Beatrice
Boy, I am always amazed how much time it takes to do the simplest tasks. I just spent six hours doing little jobs; mainly wiring the front wings for headlamps and turn signals. I'm not complaining - it was a very enjoyable day - but a restoration sure sucks up the hours. I can see why paying someone...

The exhaust is on the left (car's perspective) side, the pump is on the right.
