Re: 1957 Daimler New Drop Head Coupe Three Seater Cam Bearingss

Henry, I suspect they will appear in the bearing manufacturers catalogues if they are plain shells - Glacier etc

(Know they are available for the db18 if you know the size /,manufacturers part number)

Guys, maybe extract one and measure.

(Are they all the same ?)

Think it’s then worth checking with engine specialists like Thornton’s

Re: Daimler Barker Special Sports newly bought.

Also, chassis number is found on the top of the chassis rail, underneath the carbs (close to the bulkhead. (Often this remains when the one near the wiper motors is lost). Have no knowledge of the Body Number, but could speculate that it’s related to the drawing number. I am still looking to get thi...

Is there an oil escape point bay the end of the tube ( on the db18 axle, the backplate has a cutout to drain any excess axle oil onto the outside rather than inside of the hub ? Also, could the axle be overfilled ? Finally, is the oil d...

Re: db18 dhc jacking with trolley jack

Not recommended, on the basis that the axle is in three parts, and the two arms are bolted into the aluminium body of the diff. Jacking under the diff body puts all the weight on the securing bolts. Nb never seen a broken one but,,,, Better to use the built in jacks plus axle stands under the chassis.

Re: 1957 DE26

Is it just me, or does the rear look a little odd for a limo ?

Looks like the rear door/boot is split ( up and down)

Maybe a converted hearse ??

Just asking

Both could be fixed. Otherwise, body hood, interior good vinyl. Was driven off the trailer into the auction. So, a barga...
