The carburetor is on, yet I need to get a flexible socket extension to tighten the bolts in the back next to the fan housing. I’m not sure if the rear deck lid is going to fit with it sitting on top of the carburetor.
The exhaust is ready to hook up, but getting the aftermarket heat transfer tubes in is not easy.

A month after that I lost my job again, yet got an interview the next week for a better job that started at the end of April. I spent the next few months settling in and then it was too blazing to work all outside all summer.
Fall activities kept us busy. The guy helping me is my girlfriend’s brother who now lives in Michigan. He and his wife t…[Read more]

Thanks. I guess that I was too lazy. Carlisle, Pennsylvania. I did drive one of them down to Phoenix from Port Townsend, WA years ago (with a little tow to make the last 50 miles). I’m not so sure that I’d want to make that trip from Phoenix, Arizona to Pennsylvania. I was between jobs when I picked up the London Roadster. I am now working aga…[Read more]

With my girlfriend’s brother’s help, we are trying to get the engine started today. The prior mechanic moved out of town and doesn’t return phone calls any more. We test fitted the new Dellorto carburetor and in that process, noticed that the accelerator cable is missing, and the accelerator pump diaphragm is missing. We’re on a parts run…[Read more]

Thank you both very much. I started a new job in March and it is construction hours, 10 hours a day, 50 hour weeks with 2 out of 3 weeks someone having to work the 10-hour Saturday for a 60-hour week. Getting up at 4:00 a.m. does not leave much time in the evening for tinkering.
Keeping the yards in shape and other household chores, packed in w…[Read more]

I’m trying to see if I could get an adapter for the master brake cylinder in a London Roadster for a Speedi-Bleed kit. Yet it has been years since I’ve driven it and it’s going to need a lot of attention when I get some time in the fall or a few cool hours in the early morning this time of year. Where can I find the master brake cylinder in t…[Read more]

Would addressing the bearings or axle support bushing require removal of the tub?

Hi Kall,
Haven’t driven it enough since the list showed up to notice tire wear. I would suppose that eventually that would happen.

Hi Roy and Ed! Well, not good news. Removing the tub is way above my skill level. I might have to live with this for a while.

The replacement capacitor seems to have done the trick. Let’s hope it holds.
Here’s the next problem:
The car has been listing to port for a while. I put in coil-overs hoping that would fix the problem but now I have a higher car that lists to port. I also notice that the camber on the rear wheels is off. When you look at it from the rear it…[Read more]
