Re: Add on Temp and Amp gauges?
Not mine I'm afraid (mines been in storage while I rode a bicycle around the world) Yes I believe my gauges were from an early 50s vanguard. The later black faced ones seem more common, but they are mechanically the same so you could swap everything over. The Speedo with trip meter also had the same...

Re: Toughest paint for suspension parts?
I have used POR15 on all of mine and it has held up very well
i used hammerite on the torsion bars and it didnt stick well (needs redoing after 5 years)
all was cleaned and degreased beforehand

Re: Please What is this Model & Year
possibly the remains of a CKD put together in 51-52, or had its data incorrectly entered when we switched from paper to digital records, or has had its tags swappedmike.perry wrote:AO 2190 has a short bonnet and split bumper so 1950 at the latest. Lowlight with high light wings added.

Steering Wheel Woodruff Key
Yesterday i put the rack and suspension back in my minor, and then noticed i had some play in the steering that wasnt there before. hmm, no play in the rack, or any of the suspension. how strange, the play is inbetween the wheel and the column. I think this must be one of the very few parts of the c...

Re: VariFlow Dampers
i once saw some with added copper tubing and a valve inbetween the two cylinders so you could adjust the flow and therefore dampening inside the shocks. i dont think it ever caught on These ones look like you can adjust the pressure on the valves. which you could set up on the bench by adding a wash...
