Many thanks again. So it looks like the replacement clock I have is an earlier 35/36 type clock as it does not have a removable bezel but the 2" sort of depth casing incorporating the bezel with the countersunk screws. It is good to know that the bezels should be black, as I could therefore paint al...

Many thanks for the concise details on how to remove and fit the clock. The winding mechnism on the replacement I obtained does indeed protrude from 6 or 7 o'clock (see attached picture), so looks to the right part and also has the blue transparent strip. I think all my instruments are original as t...

I am after some guidance on fitting a replacement wind up Jaeger clock into my dashboard. When I acquired my 1937 Rover 12 the clock was not working, so I had been in the look out for a working repalcement; which I have now acquired. My current non-working clock does not have the winding/adjustment ...

SHyslop, to answer your questions: 1) I had previously checked the carburettor and all seemed to be OK with the operation of the piston, so I don't think it is that; but worth another check. When I was checking the mixture setting the piston was falling back OK and no catching anywhere. 2) As for st...

The AC Type T Fuel Pump has been rebuilt with an ethanol resistant diaphram and fitted. She now starts up fine and runs well, but when I take her out for a test drive she is still under powered, pops and bangs but will occasionally run OK but then back to below par again. Having done everything on t...

Thanks for all the responses and having blown through the fuel lines and checked the carb it turns out it must be the fuel pump. So now I am awaiting delivery of a repair kit for the AC Type T pump. That will then hopefully cure the problem as she starts with the float bowl full, so everything from ...

OK, the problem seems to have solved itself after establishing that it was lack of fuel feed from the tank as the car started and ran OK with the float bowl filled, but the fuel pump was still dry. So having worked back to where the rubber fuel pipe connected to the metal feed line, I blew through t...

On a recent trip out our 1937 Rover 12 Sports Saloon played up a little on the way back, coughing and spluttering and down on power, so we had to stop a few times to try and diagnose the problem, but to no avail. However, she did eventually clear herself and we made it back OK. I suspected it may be...

All sorted now, linkage adapted.

The photos help a lot, much appreciated. The fixing holes on my car are on the front edge and on the sides. So I can see the benefit of having a rubber seal on the front edge but am surprised if a) it would fit on the sides and b) whether it would be more of a hinderance than a help. I think I'll lo...
