Re: 1933 Maddox Fixed head Coupe EN 5810 - Fuel Hose

Post by maddpuk »

I'm pleased to have spotted this perished fuel hose now rather than later. I suspect I've had more flexible copper pipe!
Now replaced with some 6mm ID fuel hose that I had to-hand.

Whilst working on a complete refresh of the dash, it's clear the Ignition Warning Lamp is also a little past its best.

Paul, these are for the front hubs. The chamfered steel rings go on the stub axles first, then the hub, then the brass oiler plate and finally the nut. If you fit sealed front wheel bearings (set of four), you don't really need the brass oiler plates.

Great progress!

Starting to gather some new parts:

Sourced two Ash battens to fit on the floor support brackets where the new floor is to be fitted. These were sold as off-cuts on E-Bay by a very helpful seller that cut them down to the required finished dimensions, just leaving me to mitre the ends to-length.

NSR brake finally assembled, though I had to remove the recently fitted slave cylinder in order to fit the shoes - does anybody know if this is correct, or did I miss a trick?
