RE: '35 Ruby lower water manifold - Howard Wright - 21-01-2020 Hi John Does your V5C not show an engine number? If so that “should” be the crankcase number which can be accurately dated. Cheers Howard PS I sympathise with your eyesight problems. I had a vitreous detachment last year leaving me with an eye full of “floaters”. Scary but not sight threatening. It does make you realise how important eyesight is. Since then I’ve been “religious” about wearing safety goggles! RE: '35 Ruby lower water manifold - Steve kay - 21-01-2020 Quick, urgent research is required. Flee from the computer in the study down to the workshop. I can confirm that the oil filler in my 1935 Ruby is free of grub screws or other fastenings. RE: '35 Ruby lower water manifold - John Mason - 21-01-2020 Steve, Thanks for clearing that up. My car does show however that with a seven over 80+ years old you cannot be certain that its exactly as it was when it left the factory. John Mason RE: '35 Ruby lower water manifold - Shuttle - 23-01-2020 OP here. Got the manifold off and it's apparent the rear bolt was sheared many years ago, as there's a few threads in the block and the bolt's flush with the manifold surface. I think there's enough thread in the block to enable a secure enough fixing. I need to remove the remains from the manifold. The front bolt's a different kettle of fish. The remaining stub is very thin and corroded and I think it may be preferable to cut it off flush with the block and then drill it out. |
