Re: Low light steel wings

I was wrong, the seller of these wings is another person who I know and he wasn't selling at the National.

Re: Low light steel wings

The seller was at the National Rally and I bought an OSF low-light wing from him (some repairs) but very pleased with it - got very heavy by the time I lugged it up from the lower field!

Re: Wiper Motor plastic guide

Stephen, Also on later cars it is easily accessible as its on a bracket near the near-side hydraulic suspension damper, if I remember correctly. Haven't had a "later" car for a number of decades now - Series III onward fitting location below (picture taken from an eBay advert) Later type m...

Re: Wiper Motor plastic guide

Hello Simmitc, The flattened off part does fit in the first recess of the wiper motor, the round end then fits into a recess on the first wiper wheel housing point. Image with housing plate removed below First anchor point.jpg This is an image of one of my other motors that had been fitted with a pl...

Re: Wiper Motor plastic guide

Thanks Stepeen, But that is not it - the motor is a Lucas CRT one as fitted to the Split-screen cars and also to some other British models. The flexible connection is a one-piece affair, with a round collar at the wiper box end and a "U" shaped one that goes inside the motor casing (as in ...

Re: Wiper Motor plastic guide

Now, that is a very good question. It is tubular with a "knuckle" at one end that fits inside the CRT motor case. I didn't think I fitted both the ones I bought but, as I cannot find the 2nd one, maybe I did fit it, which means I can't take a photo. I'll go through my archive of digital im...

Wiper Motor plastic guide

Hello Folks, Back in November 2018, I bought 2 replacement plastic cable guides that fit into the CRT wiper motor, from Charles Ware (long gone now). Their part number (and a lot of these part numbers were common across all the suppliers, except Moss Europe) was WPR125. ESM don't have it and I also ...

Thank you Philip,
I'd not heard back from David.
And thank you for a picture of the strap too.

Re: Goldseal fan belt

As someone has already stated, the pulley diameters vary between engines. My 2 sidevalve engines, both with water pumps fitted, take different sized belts. I also have 803cc and 1098cc engined cars, so need a varying number of belts. The sidevalve belts are all wider flat-botttomed "V" pro...

Re: UFN 456 plumbing

Im not sure but I would guess that it is for one of those Smiths auxiliary type pumps that mount on top of the dynamo and run off the fan belt. I do have one of them but was never sure were the water supply would come from!! David, resurrecting an old thread to ask you if you could please measure t...

Re: Smiths Auxiliary Water Pump

So George, that's what that pump's for! I've had one on the shelf for over 50 years and have been wondering all the time. But, blimey, the ticket price of £50's high; do you want another one? Mine's scruffy but complete and turns - but no lubricator, of course! When visiting Farnboro' (we're ex-Nor...

Re: Smiths Auxiliary Water Pump

The refurbished Lucas C39PV dynamo (with oiler), in the picture, cost me £25.00 (a very very good price) at one of the Beaulieu Autojumbles (I've flashed it for +ve Earth use and tested the output), the Smith's auxiliary pump was labelled as £60 ono and the seller also had the metal fronted "be...

Re: Smiths Auxiliary Water Pump

Here is the promised mock-up, albeit a day late, sorry.
I do have a dynamo end for mounting the fan blades and I just need a couple of fitting straps to go around the dynamo.

Re: Smiths Auxiliary Water Pump

Aha, the belt doesn't go around the Smiths device, it sits on top of the belt!
I'll do a mock-up tomorrow and photograph it.

Hello Taupe, I've ordered from the Dynamo company. I've also rerun my "brass oiler for dynamo" search and my Google search engine has now come up with both items! Before I posted, all I got was the oilers for lathes etc. So, many thanks for the response - now need to find a couple of strap...
