Re: DE27 exhaust system

Hi, Also I am interested in complete DJ250 exhaust system. I remember John Nash was supposed to have originals couple of years ago. I tried, in vain... I certainly would like to improve mine. She's running somewhat like Fordson Major at the moment. ;)

Re: Removing a Conquest sediment bowl safely

Hello Kenneth,
Would it be just clever to get a better complete pump? Valve assemblies, diaphragm assy and rocker arm may be weary as well. You could renovate it first. When installing it please make sure that rocker arm sits on correct side of camshaft eccentric.
Rgds! Pekka

Re: DB18 nut and bolt kit?

How was it with surface treatment? I guess originals were black (Parkinson method)? Or were they zink plated? I ordered my DJ251 nuts and bolts black from a local supplier. No problems. They delivered them zink from factory and had them black here locally. Provided I bought minimun package each size...

Re: Condolence

Thanks a lot Bob. Interesting. I`ll inspect Alibris, eagerly! The subtitle says also "she is able to enjoy simple pleasures of life by driving her car" Isn't that something? :D

Re: Repair. Who might do this

Hello Charles, Would it be too rough to use epoxy or silicone glue? Maybe not to put glue all around, so the you can remove the glass later on when needed?

Re: Daimler Scout gearbox

I just thought that is there any idea to search them from boot sales? I guess there were for sale in military surplus auctions or shops. But probably too long ago? Almost all have been melted? Maybe easier to use services of G. Whitehouse?
