I've got a Box saloon rad and everyone seems to be shortening and adapting these to fit a medium Sports cowl. But IF originality not an issue, what other options are there... without unnecessarily destroying a box rad? 
Mini and Maxi rads have been mentioned as being used in the past. 
Aluminium 2 row Min rads are a sniff over 50 quid. Would the volume cope, or thermosiphon work? Be interested to know what others have found/tried/discarded as bad ideas.

Good morning. I am currently rebuilding two engines with Pheonix crankshafts. I have been advised that balancing is advisible. I have approached one company whose price would have required me to re-mortgage my house!

Could anyone recommend a company that is within driving distance of Stafford and will not cost the earth?

Regards from the creative county - Staffordshire

What's going on here is anybody's guess....

I posted an enquiry about this car, which we owned over 50 years ago, 3 years or so ago & could find no recent evidence of its present whereabouts.
Just recently, another old friend (a vincent rapide of 1952 vintage) turned up on the web in new ownership & I was able to establish contact again.
So I thought I might post again on this forum, just in case GY2791 has turned up again somehwere.
It was a 1932 RN, Blue body, black wings when last heard of.
Thanks for bearing with me, it's a vain hope, but I thought the rapide was, too!
And I really enjoyed a trip to Bryngarw a couple of years ago, to see the A7s congregating.

I’ve an opportunity to purchase a 34 Nippy.  BUT the main issue is that it’s missing it’s chassis and power train.  (It’s been suggested that someone used the chassis for racing at some point).  In any event, I’d love to own the car, but would need a running gear to complete it.  Would anyone know where I might find same?
Cheers

Looking back to Platts, I realised the 4 separate arms I have are of course meant to be two separate and one bonded together into two, back to back. As it ends are attached by the alloy link, does it matter for operation if the bonded one is separate.?

Hi all,

Before starting a repair attempt thought it might be wise to get your views! My original Bluemels wheel is in pretty good condition with the exception of a few small areas. To prevent further loss of coating and stop the areas snagging in use I planned on painting the metal black then applying some clear epoxy to seal it and stick the black plastic coating edges....

Thoughts? Certainly don’t want to have it recovered as areas in question are small!

Aware that LED technology is improving all the time I wondered if anyone could recommend a good cordless work-light? I'm getting a bit fed up with my current one which won't stay where you put it and begins to dim after an hour or so.
