Re: P3 Engine Replacement
David, Thank you for the offer, but I believe that the head on my recently acquired P4 engine is good (I was told that it had been recently overhauled). I have just finished installing the engine - I succeeded in getting everything to fit, with a few adjustments required. I'm waiting for some igniti...

Re: P3 Front Suspension/Steering bushes
I've just done the front suspension bushes on my P3 restoration project using the kit from Scott's Old Rubber (Australia). The kit contains all of the bushes required. If you have telescopic shock absorbers, you will use all of the bushes in the kit. For Armstrong lever arm shocks, you will have bus...

Re: P3 Engine Replacement
I am proceeding (slowly) toward the engine change out - putting a P4 90 engine in my P3 75. I would like to find out what others have done with the engine auxiliaries when they exchanged engines. I am planning to put in a P4 SU carb, but would like to know whether it is possible to use P3 75 distrib...

P3 Seat Backs
I am in the process of reupholstering my P3 front seats, which I am reassembling from bare seat frames. I know how the seat fronts should look, but I am struggling to understand how the seat backs are assembled and how they should look. Any information or pictures would be appreciated.

Re: Air Duct for 1948 P3
I believe that a preheater is an air duct with heating tubes in it (and water connections on it for the heater tubes). My P3 was supplied for Canada and has a preheater.
Unfortunately I don't have a source for where you can find an air duct.

Re: P3 Engine Replacement
Thank you for the responses. I have been contemplating a scope similar to that described by John - leave the P3 transmission and drivetrain. Am I correct in assuming that the main considerations in replacing the clutch are the condition of the original and the (un)availability of spares for the orig...

P3 Engine Replacement
The engine is seized on my newly acquired P3 75. I am trying to free the engine, but at the same time will begin investigating potential for replacement. I have the opportunity locally to buy a P4 90 engine with transmission and overdrive. Would this fit a P3? What are the issues and considerations?...
