After 2 years of a rollercoaster ride, from elation to despair, my 1933 10 special is running like a dream!!! Having had the engine overhauled completely and getting it back together in the car and running, I thought I'd got her sorted but she's been running like a 3 legged dog, with absolutely no p...

Thanks everyone for replies. Engine is now running after major works. Found a replacement head from Mike Evans which has been fusion welded and refaced. Valves were engineered from singer originals and a new set of studs and rocker shaft spacers were made. I am endebted to Chris Whitehead who remeta...

Thanks Andrew, will add this to the long list of things Mike has/is already supplying!! Don't know why I hadn't tried him for these - guess I'm trying to spread the pain!

Hi all,
Does any one know where I can source the rubber seal that fits over the chrome headlight bar and cover the hole in the wing on per war Rovers?

Mine have given up the ghost and I'm struggling to find any.

Thanks as ever

Gerry, welcome aboard, she looks lovely. Nice to see another local, I'm nearish just over the border in Norfolk with a 1933 10 Special who is just having the finishing touches to some major engine work. Hoping to be out and about in May.

However I have a spare g/box out of the car so we may be able to do a photo comparison if that helps. Where abouts ...

Hi All and a happy new year I am in the process of rebuilding my 1933 10 Special Engine and head. In the process I've had alot of help from various Register stalwarts but have failed thus far to find any replacement valves to suit my car. My understanding is that the part number for these is 56045, ...

Hi folks I have a bit of a puzzle. I'm currently stripping my spare engine in order to rebuild it with repaired head. I'm planning to get the block crack tested before re-assembly. I know that this engine has previously been bored out to 30 thou but with the sump off I've noticed that the roman nume...

Seems to me, albeit as a relative newcomer to this forum, that it exists on tne good will and commeraderie of those taking part. Therefore if you post a question it seems entirely reasonable and sensible to provide feedback if folk are good enough to respond. As a major benifactor of responses made ...

Robert - welcome aboard I have just got hold of a 1950s (I think) set of books called 'MOTOR REPAIR AND OVERHAULING' Basically it's a 5 volume set of articles relating to various cars of the 1930s-40s as well as looking after major components in general. (Vol 5 is the data sheets). There is alot of ...
