1936 Jowett in Germany restore

[robert lintott]

Chris, see my post of 03/07/12, the auctioneer missed a number in the Chassis , it is 644657 in the club records and was Bradford registered, BAK 156, whether they got this from the V5 or the car itself is not known. best regards Bob

[Chris Spencer]

Thanks Bob - I have corrected it so that Marcel can get his membership form completed.

If you find the fotos,please could you send it to me? It would be nice.
Right - the fuel pump is over the camshaft, it can be pump by hand.
The cylinder heads can be take off and the spark plug are on the top.
The heatingsystem is in the car. What do you mean - is it original ?
I think and believe it is original.
Super, now I have at least a picture from Jewett Falcon 1936 at the backside.
Thank you very much for the pictures from the engineroom.
In a few days I will put a few pictures from the engine in the forum.
Than you can see more about the engine.
On your picture I can see that this engine is in the same way or looks as mine.
The petrol pump is a little different and the horn is at an other place.

Hello Georg, do mean the coil is missing? Perhaps it is transverred and it is in the box next door.

Hello

Here a few brand new pictures:

Marcel - It looks like you are making good progress - I really have not touched any of my cars or projects for over a year now - I have been too busy helping freinds complete a workshop / garage extension which thankfully is nearly complete and also building works to our apartment so that we can sell it and move out of London. Keep up the the hard work - and keep the questions coming on anything that you are unsure of.

Regards Chris

I hope, these pictures are interesting for you.

To Chris Spencer

Its okay in the moment. normally i must work on other building sites, but i will stay tuned by the jowett.
It should be the car for my wedding.

Anything must be over the tank, perhaps a wool board?


All of you a beautiful sunday!
Greetings from Germany

[Chris Spencer]

Hi Marcel -

If you work on building sites - what job do you undertake ? - I am a senior site / project mangaer for a construction company that builds river / canal & lake structures.

The box in the top right of the image is the voltage regulator - it basicly switches the charging rate of the dynamo on and off - I do not think that the plastic connecting block directly underneath it is orginal.

Yes they should be a plywood base in the car boot covering the top of the petrol tank

If you hope to use the car for your wedding - when do you have it completed by ?

Regards Chris

Hello

Chris - I wrote: normally i must work on other building sites, i mean i repair other cars,tractor parts or mopeds in the carworkshop.

My Job is to repair cars which has an accident. In Germany ihe job named: ´Karosseriebauer´

Its okay, perhaps i will get a picture from an other falcon who shows that components.

I planed for beeing ready with the restauration in three until five Jears. I can´t say exactly.
My wedding takes still a while!

[Chris Spencer]

Marcel - Great - you already have many of the skills then in order to restore the car and strangley enough was also my first job - I worked restoring the coachwork / bodywork on vintage & classic cars but also undertook accident repairs to modern cars of the day (late 1970's / early 1980's) - after several years I left and went to university to study civil engineering.

[ian Howell]

Now this may not help in this case, but on my 1930 car the last three digits of the chassis/body number are also stamped into the lower edge of the bonnet side panels, where they drop down to go past the chassis.

In my case these are the same as the last three digits of the engine and the chassis number, so I am assuming that the engine, chassis and body panels are all original.

Of course, if the engine number is on a separate brass plate then the above comments may not apply.

We shall see . . .

Chris, one of the new setof photo's shows an oil filler pipe coming outof the sideof thecrankcase which does indeed indicate 'industrial engine' origins. I would guess the crankcase & possibly more is from a BRistol tractor as I think they used a petrol pump and certainly some had the spark plugs facing vertically as on the pre 1940 cars. This is of course making the asumption that the magneto drive & mounting was intercheangeable with the normal car dynamo.

I don't know if the camshaft and compression ratio was different on the tractor engines becauseif they are it would obviously effect the performance in some way or other

Marc, the coil and ccut out should be mounted on the dynamo as per a number of photos on this threaad . The control box ( regulator) on the bulkhead is not original. The dynamo would originally have been of the 3 brush type with a resistance to limit the charging rate in summer . The lighting switch on the dashboard should have 2 charging positions marked summer & winter or low & high so arraanged thatthedynamo is on the high/winter setting whenever the lights are switched on .
It may be that the dynamo has been altered/rewired internally to run as a 'normal' 2 brush machine - I am not sue if this is possible but it may well be!

Hello guys

My dad gave me a little place, where I can work at my Jowett.
But till now I couldn't find any chaissienumber.
I don't know what going on with that dynamo. I mean i don't know why there is a winter/summer switch.
I don't know how the dynamo is working with this switch. In winter, must be there a higher imput or output (Volt)?

Yesterday i build a boot lid for my Jowett.
I planed: on the side and the top of the bood lid a beading

In winter there are usually more loads being used. On this style of dynamo a switch simply asks the dynamo to generate more current in winter. If you do not need that current then swap it back to summer so that the battery is not over charged. On more modern regulators a current sensing coil measures the load on the system and thus asks the dynamo to produce more current by feeding more into the field coil.

Here a few pictures of my engine bay
do you see the second oil filler? how is that by you?

Tomprrow I will go with my moped `Kreidler Florett` and a trailer to holiday for a week!



perhaps i have a chance to write here to the forum!


Have a nice week!
