Hello k. rogers

ok thank you.
No, in the heck there was only the remains you can see in the photos.

are any present on your car?

Sorry, but what do you mean?, I dont´t understand.


Hello p.p.

Thany you for the ebay nr. nummer, but i was to late, the article was already ended...

I have founded an LUVAX shock absorter on ebay (nr.:121183954425http://www.ebay.de/itm/121183954425?ssP ... _72wt_1042), but I think the coupling rod is not suitable for my Jowett,
Or do you mean it is the right?
Thank you!


Hello george

Do you have to sale one thing, please let me know!

by ''aspiration hole'' I presume you mean the joint between the induction pipe (or manifold) and each cylinder. I would recommend the use of 2 gaskets for each side i.e. each joint . The extra thickness prov;ides a little bit of flexibility that can help prevent the flanges cracking when tightened down.

Also if replacing the cylinders onto the crankcase only tighten them VERY loosely - then tighten the induction pipe flange nuts - then fully tighten the cylinders.

Hi Marcel - I would think that all the parts that you require are available the rough the club spares scheme of ' Jowett Car Spares ' - they are only contactable on a Monday evening - details are in the Jowetter magazine - if you would rather one of us over here contacted them on your behalf - that can be arranged - just let us know

I agree with George, Marcel.

When fitting the manifold to the cylinders, using two gaskets for each side, and perhaps some sealant, first loosen the nuts that hold the cylinder flanges to the engine casing on both sides. Then tighten the nuts on the manifold. This will allow a little movement while tightening the manifold. If you do not do this, the ends of the manifold may be broken as you tighten their nuts.
When the manifold is ok, then tighten the cylinder flange nuts to the engine casing. I was told to use flat washers under the nuts, and not spring washers. The cylinder flange nuts have to be VERY tight.
You will have to check the tappet gaps again.

Your second photograph shows just how far the restoration is progressing, and it looks wunderbar!

Tony.

Marcel - Great to see the progress

yes - that's the joint between induction pipe and cylinder! Use 2 gaskets on each joint I.,e 4 in all

Hello Marcel.

I bought 4 Waymaster tyres recently for my 1934 saloon. I do not drive many miles in the car these days, so I hope they will not wear out.
The price was similar to yours.
The company I used was Vintage Tyres Supplies, and they sent them very fast. But of course that is in England.
It is VERY important that you make the 'toe-in' correct on the front wheels, or the tyres will not last.
The handbook will show this I think, but the distance between the front of the wheels should be 1/8" closer than the measurement at the rear of the front wheels.
If this is not set correctly, there will be much wear on the tyres in a very short time.

Did you send your list of Jowett parts to Jack?
Does Jowett car Spares have all you need?

Best wishes,

Tony.

Hi Marcel,

You might want to consider JCS for tyres - they have a relationship with tyre retailers and might be able to get a better deal for you. They may also have opinions on the quality of the different tyres available for your car.

Well done on making so much progress, great to see projects moving along.

Jack.
