It's my understanding that the provision requiring "branding" of major parts with the original vehicle's VIN or other significant serial number is simply to allow tracking of the parts in case someon

Hmmm. I noticed that when I hit c with the Austin America, the headlights went out. Fortunately I was on a straightaway at the time, so I just accelerated a bit more, and when I arrived before I left

Heh-heh! But seriously, folks, you might want to flush the crud out of the radiator and heater core anyway before storage. Might save you the cost of new ones later on. -- Andy

I bought a tube of what I believe was G.E. Silicone Sealer for windscreens, which comes in a sort of thinned-down form which is claimed to flow into the seal via capillary action to fill in the gaps.

I have difficulty picturing it from your description (insufficient coffee this morning); however, I have been introduced to my uncle's '32 Alvis as being a shooting brake design. It was what American

I thought the following might be of some interest. I normally don't post copies of ads, but this one attracted my attention because (1) it's near my house, and (2) the mileage seemed nicely low. I do

If it won't fit, let me suggest another possibility (assuming you don't plan to save the fastener): Get a power drill bit on the bolt, using an extension if necessary, and drill a hole through it. Re

Can I take a wild stab at this? I think your feeling is correct, reasoning thusly: on this design, as you've drawn it, the load on the edge of the flywheel tooth where the pinion first engages it wou

I'm not familiar with the marque, but I'd say that if Superior was the name of a co-founder of the company, it's hyphenated. If Superior was the model name, it's not. It most likely would be "bruff".

If it IS a reputable tire place, you could try going back and complaining about it. They might offer to get you a fresh set, though without any obvious problems with the 5 1/2 year old set, this migh

Gee, I'd suspect loosey-goosey ball joints, not rack-and-pinion problems. Your description matches perfectly what a couple of my cars did before I fixed the ball joints. It was easy to produce the cl

If you end up doing it again with the same material, I'd suggest using a metal base instead of wood. I suspect the chisel is squishing the gasket material down into the wood slightly, thus stretching
