Re: Pre-selector locked up

Not so easy to find a pre-select user in town 😝 One way to help with a test, is to lift the rear wheels off the ground, which will allow selection of all gears with the engine running. ( but requires minimum effort from the engine) With engine off, Start by selecting neutral. (Pedal comes up higher ...

Re: Pre-selector locked up

Hi Phil.

Thanks for helping your friend. Hope you will encourage them to join the dloc.

It might be good to get someone local to visit and see in real life, if we knew where the car is now living.

Re: SS/Empress rev couner reduction gearbox

Just a quick note to update you. Following Chris's picture, I had an offer to make from Richfield. However, I noticed that John Nash was selling cables, and checked and looked like Chris's, so I have purchased 2. I now have one working system for my Barker, and will now attempt to recondition my spa...

Re: Obsolete parts.

Marcel, Think this is an excellent idea for the DLOC. I trust we will compile this list using all of our contacts - Driving Member, Facebook etc. It would be a good idea to share the parts that people are looking for, so that we can connect to those who have parts or knowledge. For example, I believ...

Re: GRILLE

Thanks Anthony.

Not sure, but don’t think it’s Consort/Soeciak Sports.

Re: DJ254 Body Construction Details

Bert, Thanks for the history. Ref missing parts, useful to make a good list and start looking now. Some parts are common to Conquest saloon, but other parts are not, and that will be more tricky. ( bumpers and over-riders may be different to saloon for example), but road wheels same. DLOC members wi...

Re: DJ254 Body Construction Details

Bert,

I have access to a NDHC which is under restoration, and could be photographed if you have specific areas of concern.

Looks like a big project, do best of luck.

Re: SS/Empress rev couner reduction gearbox

Just a quick update. I have managed to get Richfield to confirm they can make cables like the pic Chris kindly posted here. Just need to know how long if anyone can confirm - or else I’ll get a piece of string and calculate on my car. So, I will have one complete set for my car, and the possibility ...
