Re: P3 75 carburetor
There is a wealth of good information on the 30 FAI, 30 PAAI and 30FAAI/FFIA in the P2 Workshop manual. This includes extracts from the Solex trade leaflet on tuning, troubleshooting etc. The P2 Workshop Manual Chart refers also to the P3 60 being fitted with Solex 32PB1-2 #S1491 and the P3 75 with ...

Re: Suspension setup
Stevson Motors in Birmingham may have seals/bearings for the Luvax horizontals. They may be at the Resto Show. I sold Derek loads of N.O.S. Luvax etc in the 80's. He was repairing them then & is still in business, so they must have worked! I think his daughter runs the business now

Re: Petrol Tank sender unit
My sender worked, but the float was (very) porous. I bought a plastic mini etc type float and it was NOT compatible without butchering the original arm. A kind friend soldered up my original float (and soldered it to the arm). Result! This year's plan is to get the reserve tube etc working....I have...

Re: P3 75 carburetor
Have you looked on the Burlen website ( they also do SU...I think their SU website will link to their Solex pages) https://burlen.co.uk/?___store=default The P3 60 had an SU The Solex should have another identifying number stamped, not cast, on the body somewhere I think. (this would identify it as ...

Re: A.M. Instruments, Rover 20
Now we know! What an amazing resource is at our fingertips! You just gave to know where to start! Is it not a reminder about engine speeds on the pre war era that the rev counters in the catalogue only went up to 4000 in most instances

Re: A.M. Instruments, Rover 20
This is a real rabbit hole to dive down! I have found Smiths MA (with a very stylised MA) fitted to many late 30's motorbikes; and Smiths Chronometric speedos with plain capital M A on them! They all will have unique numeric part nos on the face and and indication (4 digit) of the number of turns . ...

Re: A.M. Instruments, Rover 20
I know that Smiths made 8 day clocks for aircraft during the war. I remember seeing one apparently for a Spitfire advertised at something over £1000 and it was marked A M on the back with a Kings Crown. I imagined that A M stood for Air Ministry? It did not have the Ordnance Broad Arrow mark such as...

Re: Paint schemes
Thank you for taking & posting those pictures. I have to remove my carburettor to replace a leaky "heat spacer"(what IS it called?) that causes occasional discreet pops on the overrun! I will make up a suitable shield and will add to it some heat reflective/absorbent material left over from putting ...

Re: Paint schemes
Nothing to do with paint! Hi jacking the thread! I see you have a heat shield under the carburettor...I can only see one mounting bolt(?) does it rest om the manifold or what? My car has one under the SU fuel pump, but I am intending to make one up to go between Carb & Manifolds...preferably easy to...

I find the Avons very good...The Radials are wildly expensive her I recall from when I was looking at radials
