  1. that's a tremendous job! Keep the cold ,I bet people would buy a set!
  2. Am in need of new arms and wipers for my 1941 Chrysler Windsor convertible ,the ones i currently have seem different from the ones i see for sale , 585C74F8-C43E-4B18-9D22-C25253B55C8A.heic
  3. Just had mine done!j 6AF6E34D-B104-488F-93AC-28A52211E4D7.heic
  4. Chrysler New Yorkers in 46 had Stromberg AAV S2 carb ,until the accounts department discovered there was a cheaper alternative!
  5. When i fitted triple carbs to my 41 ,there was no longer sufficient vacuum to operate the kick down so i had an electric button switch fitted under the dash ,works perfectly.
  6. I have a 41 with vacamatic ,will get a photo at the weekend!
  7. T he headliner on my original New Yorker was more sensitive than Prince Harry,
  8. Im in Colchester Essex and did exactly this for my 41 Windsor convertible ,Igot mine from the Carb doctor too and it works perfectly. Id probably wait and do it properly once rather than have to do it twice.
  9. choice of two carbs ,Stromberg AAVS 2 ,almost impossible to find <i looked for over ten years then gave up . Other choice is the standard carter b and b ,very easy to find and set up/ Relaible and relatively economical. About 10 HP less than the Stromberg but there is such power in the engine it doesn't really matter.
  10. now the brake pedal almost touches the floor before it bites!! My local garage has no experience of this ebrakes but my fading memory tells the cam on the back of each drum needs to be adjusted, until it drags ,then slacked off a little ,THEN the brakes bled/rod adjusted.
  11. problem fixed ,it was the rod into the master cylinder was too far in!
  12. I have two old cars ,my 41 Windsor convertible straight 6 and my 60 thunderbird with the 430 v8 ,both old cars and both as different to each other as they are to my BMW X5 .. I love them all for their differences not their similarities!
