Thanks! I have a normal fanbelt so that will be fine than... Just another question, on the front cross member there are holes for both the early and later radiator. Is that normal or just for the few 1930 model cars built in say September 1929? I also noticed something about different fronts for the...

More pictures and you tube please

Very smart
Any ideas about the fanbelt?

VG is back............ With the body panels around the engine at the painter it was time to do the radiator (see The Technical Thread ) The small dent is nearly gone, getting this better would require re chroming , as is wanted to keep some patina i decided the radiator surround is smart enough as i...

Please keep us posted

I also have the left ones, the hole you can see was made when the oil passage to the camshaft was drilled. It is closed of when the eccentric bush is fitted.
