LA 11 ROCKER ARMS

Dear All, I am looking to refurbish my rocker shaft assembly. I think it is unlikely, but does anyone have any spare rocker assembly parts, especially rocker arms? Alternatively, does anyone have experience/recommendation concerning an engineering company capable up building up by deposition, then r...

CYLINDER HEAD

Dear All, We have rescued a much unloved cylinder head from being scrapped. By eye and casual measurement it looks exactly the same as my existing LA 11 cylinder head which we have just refurbished. The trouble is that the ident number - 40427 - does not seem to be in the series for the LA 11. Befor...

Re: LA 11 ENGINE SUPRISES!

LA 11 ENGINE SUPRISES!

Dear All, In the way of all old cars, for no reason my 1938 LA 11 started to run roughly, run very roughly and then fell silent. Fuel OK, spark OK so out with the compression tester and the problem was localised at No 3 and No 4 cylinders. Off came the cylinder head and, yes, we need to change the h...

Re: LA 11 REAR LEAF SPRINGS

Dear All, I followed the advice to use Jones Springs for the rear leaf springs on my LA 11 and I have to report that they were really very good. I took the springs to the factory and it is a well established organisation, mainly processing large lorry and coach springs but they were really very help...

LA 11 REAR LEAF SPRINGS

After a 3 month period of major work including building a new stainless steel exhaust and water pipes, today was the day for the first test drive. Everything went perfectly, the engine is smooth and quiet, all of the handling is excellent, the brakes feel just right and NO leaks. Just as I was parki...
