To me, that all looks fine. Perhaps your local gas pump is adding something to the gas, wouldnt surprise me one bit. The fuel isnt pouring out the side of the carb, so cleaning up the gasket surfaces to a smooth finish and make sure they are true. Use JB weld to body work the gasket surface if you have to. Also, use a fresh gasket..

My car had a bracket so i used it...right or wrong. A sponge will carry water to the top of it as well through capillary action.
-
Ah ok i got ya. There should be a metal tag wired to the arm rest frame from factory with the part number stamped on it.

And the compression is so low that high octane fuel isnt needed. However, I use to run 94 until they ruined it with ethanol. Now i just run 87.

I think the vacuum line is suppose to follow the head around the front, not over the head. As for the fuel, perhaps parts of the alloy disolved out of the metal, leaving a sponge-like material. Or what you are seeing is vapour condensing. That's my guess. The tops of these carbs do warp easily, I usually tap the metal between the bolt holes with a small hammer, then sand it flat on a true surface. The hammer makes it so you dont have to sand as much to get it flat.

Perhaps not, but we are talking the glory days of automotive production. And even today, everything is year make and model specific. Cars are full of proprietary garbage to dazel the consumer. Every 4 door car is different in the rear seating compared to its two door counterpart. It's inherent to its design. I'm not sure there is a single car produced today in both a two door and four door. But that's a different topic all together. As for a 2door d35 or p19, the arm rest mounts against a stationary panel, and so are flat on the back side. They are not upholstered either. The 4 door version doesnt have that luxury with a door beside it. I cant see a p15 being any different...

All I can do is reference my 1950 parts book and google images. What I've said is deduced from that. Anything about other years is speculation. There is no possible way a 2 and 4 door can be the same, or they would share part numbers. You're talking a two sided shape vs a one.

Pretty much

The best stuff I've used is Cunifer. Copper nickle iron. It works nicely and has a nice glow. Also, very corrosion resistant.

Stainless is the better material, Hotrodders love it, You can buy complete stainless kits, It doesn't rust, it looks good, plenty of reasons.
-
Make your own, unless it's stainless, that stuff is a monster to work with and requires expensive tooling.

When I had mine, I did note there construction. Basically a bunch of 1/4" bars bent to a specific form and then welded together. Theres a tab where it slots into the wheel well to affix it. Each bar needs to be templated as well as the other features. The skeleton defines the shape.
-
I did.
-
Thanks, they are similar, but different. A different part number as well. The 4 door is furnished on both sides, because you see it when you open the back door. It's also small cuz you have to step by it. The 2 door one is bigger and only furnished on one side. There is no door there...so it can be optomized for the space. Regarding your 2 door arm rests. Id be willing to pay shipping for it to be sent to me, then ill ship it back. It would need to be 49 or 50. I think that's a p17? And p19. And, im not even totally sure the 49 is the same.
-
Oh ya i posted them in my other post 1104546 1104547. I think they are 49-50 only.
-
That's an interesting idea. But I would still need something to template, and it's to techie for me. I can't believe there is noone on this forum who can help with a part I can template.
-
Hopefully this post skirts the rules...i have been unsuccessful finding arm rests. My last hope is that someone can send me one for templating and I can ship it back. A friend suggested making them out of wood. But the shape is fairly complex and I'm not a good woodworker. If anyone has any other suggestions, my ears are open. Attached is a pic i found online. Thanks, Andrew

How do i find this section? -
P19 d35 rear arm rests for 2 door sedan.
-
I got burned. I left the rear arm rests for my 50 fastback at work with the intention of reupholstering them. Well my boss and his lacky went through the upholstery room and threw a ton of stuff away...including my arm rests. I'm pretty chapped...I feel like rage-quitting. I can only imagine how hard it will be to replace them. If anyone knows where I can buy some, please let me know. Thanks.

I sure dig your 48 Royal. Good luck with the riser. I blocked mine off.
