Post by AlanBartlett »

During the recent restoration of my late fathers Jowett Long 7,0Y8670, Ive recently started work on the engine cleaning it up and inspecting it, and have recenlty mis placed the nuts for the exaust and was wondering if anyone could help by giving me the measurement of the nut I require I know its imperial just not sure what thread or measurement? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Alan! I have a tin of imperial nuts and bolts my grandfather gave me, amongst which are some manifold (brass) nuts. When I get a chance I will try a couple on a cylinder flange to see if they fit and bring 'em to our next meeting for you - keep your fingers crossed! I will keep you posted.

pre-war exhaust flange nuts

Post by Tony Fearn »

Hello Alan.

The nuts you will need are 3/8ths BSF if your car is a pre-war model. On 'Mary Ellen' I used the shorter type of cylinder head nut on the top studs for ease, but the lower ones are ordinary steel nuts. The cylinder head type nuts are not likely to fit below, due to the downward bend in the pipe.

The Technical section in Jowett Gallery has a few pre-war maintenance items copied into it. These have very useful information in them.

Regards,

Tony.

Thanks for the help, Geoff has sorted me out with some, but on the subject of nuts and bolts does anyone know what size screws fit into the cover button of the horn?

Horn cover button fastening screws

Post by Tony Fearn »

Hello again Alan.

Just been over to the garage. The screws that hold the button onto the horn assembly are 6BA. They screw into the metal pressing that fits over the aluminium O ring which surrounds the hexagonal steering wheel fixing bolt which has a hole through it to allow passage of electrical wires. They are counter-sunk with a slightly-domed head and are one and one eighth inches long. Isn't it grand to talk Imperial! I think they might be brass originally, but I wouldn't think that was very important.

Regards,

Tony.

Tony (and anyone else watching): -

On the subject of horns, what is the correct type for the 1930 Long Four?

I would like to think it might be a nice Aroooh Gaah Klaxon, but I suspect it is the round diaphragm type. Can anyone give me a Lucas Part No please?

Hi Ian.

Can't help with the type of horn supplied with the 1930 long 4, but perhaps a call to Ian P will be of use. I have a Klaxon on Mary Ellen although she had a round Lucas (boring) type fitted when I got her in 1961. I think that was original, but of course she's a 1934 model.

Tony.

Thanks Tony - useful information as always!
By the way, I just happened to mention to one of the 'locals'at my daughter's pub that I was looking for a 6 volt dynamo cut out and had seen one on ebay.

He went quiet, then said 'I've got one of them at 'awm you can 'ave' (he's Welsh) - and he had, and I did, and after a good clean, a coat of paint and resetting the operating voltage Voila! I now have a nice dynamo cut out.

He said it came off an early '50s Ford Pop and he removed it when he converted to 12 volt electrics in the late '50s. It has been in a drawer at home ever since!

It's all out there somewhere!
