Thanks

What a great idea! I will be trying this tomorrow., think my shed is actually bowed but am going to try this combined with wedging the corners. Very helpful to leave the parts that go wrong in so I can see what to expect!

Hi Mart, Great to see you today,sorry we had to rush off without saying Goodbye,please do keep on with your vlogs,a great many people will be disappointed 😢 We would like to see you in one of your Rods at Pendine Sands,let us know when it's convenient for you.Maggie.😊

Mart, why did you have to heat the rubber? If need be could you heat it in the over rather than a microwave?

Logic.thanks.

Thank you. I have the same issue on my 550.

The bane of our hobby... crappy replacement parts. Have you ever investigated re-sleeving the wheel cylinders?

Hi Mart. I was watching you using the easy bleed and wondered if you could use a rubber bung with the fluid topping up tube through the centre. Then maybe you could use different size bungs for different applications. Good luck and thank you for the entertainment.

If it pulls to the right that would say to me …. The left sides not working 🤷🏻‍♂️…. As you found that out 😉

I know that feeling about "fearing for one's mortality" when pulling those hubs! I never knew about the hole in the brake cylinders being in the wrong place until watching your videos. The last time I did the brakes on my '40 sedan was around seven years ago (well within the 10 years since you first noticed the problem). The next time I have it apart I am going to check. The quality of the repro parts (both mechanical and cosmetic) seems to be getting worse. I have given up on current production points as they just don't line up (I found someone who sold me NOS Ford points a year ago and they line up properly). I always look forward to your videos sir!

Mart this not critisism but every brake clinic I have attended in 55years I was taught to clean and lubricate brakes with only clean brake fluid

Mart: I have all the parts to convert my ‘41 from Lockheed brakes to Bendix brakes, maybe I get to it this fall.

Hey Mart: Just started watching this video but I would suspect that if it was pulling to the right, that side is the side that was "working" ??? It's been my experience that the vehicle pulls to the side that is "too tight". ;o) Worked "behind" a failed mechanic on a vehicle recently and found the same thing with EVERYTHING tightened "to death" !! It HAS to be that all modern mechanics now use battery driven drivers and wrenches instead of the old method of "hand wrenches" where you had some "feel" of when things were tight enough. ;o( The quality of products (or lack of) is simply the result of the ultra common modern trend of corporations to NOT do their own manufacturing since they can "outsource" it to foreign countries where the labor is totally abused and un-regulated not to mention the complete lack of QC !!! For sure, a very sorry state!! Despite this total lack of quality, we are advised to literally "dispose" of the older, WELL MADE devices in favor of the new "garbage" that only lasts until the warranty expires (if you get lucky) and cannot even be disassembled for possible repair. ;o( The problem is, just because you purchase a "name brand" at a higher price, that those parts are not ALSO made in the same factory !! Even buying "Delco" ignition parts, they "come from "China" now too!!

There must be water ingess in the slave cylinders why grease the groove on assembly. All the best Peter

i watched your videos on the volvo gearbox conversion bloody impressive mate , so nice to have the machines to be able to do it . cheers Reply

I feel your frustration, it seems like all aftermarket / reproduction stuff is junk these days. I had a new -repro lighting switch fail - just caught it time to prevent a fire.

How did you bleed the brakes? It was always a two man job for me. How did it work out on a drive? I would loved to have had so many cars to tinker with.

Mart, can you split shift? 2nd , then 2nd over, and on?

You have done a cracking job on this one Mart, I have finally caught up following a binge-watch of this series! The fuel sender is a job that my son insisted we did on Lizzie, I think this was as a result of this video. We had in stock a quantity of copper washers marked up as being for the sender, so I can only assume that they should be copper washers.

Pendant of the week here Mart - 3 3/8" x 4" flattie equals 286 - and not 276 as you state 🧐

Thanks

Another job well done!

Some great progress. Seeing how far you came in that first 6 months of ownership, you do deserve a big pat on the back, perhaps the luck on the clutch is payback for all that hard work? She sounds good and looked to drive well to boot. Having had the pleasure of replacing the gearbox on Lizzie I have started to try and double de-clutch going through the box, if just to avoid any issues in the future. Not that I have mastered it so far, your 100 was taken off the road when I was about 2 years old so all my driving has been done on syncro boxes. The box is fairly simple to take off if you do have to do so in the future, although I found there is a knack for getting it back on. From the floor level (i.e. not on a ramp) I found it was a two-man job, with one underneath maneuvering the box and a 2nd in the car on a strap, far easier than jacking the box up. Be careful swinging the back down though, I managed to almost break my jaw as I was just in the wrong position.

Your relay coil is likely sending a small voltage spike through the switch when it opens, shortening the life of the contacts. Google: "How to avoid spark at relay contact?" and see if something pops up that you think may help. The math to figure out the size of resistors and capacitors is really not as critical as some people make it out to be and any improvement at all is probably what you are after. Or just clean the contacts as needed.

Some fine hotrod DIY! Do your carbs still have power-valves and if so, are they the stock ones?

good fix , what did that Volvo model gearbox come out ?

Electronics! I remember my grandpa's Studebaker just had a push-pull dash button that must have just been a cable to the overdrive box. I do not remember needing to be in any specific gear to pull the overdrive. Had to be in the 50's.

Cool easy fix, glad you found what was wrong. I like that Tudor you have.

Great to watch the progress you have made on your 100e (I'm still playing catch up!). The rear spring bush replacement will be something that I will have to do in the next few years so great to see how you have achieved this. I have some spare springs so I will refurb them then swap. I'm pleased to hear you have joined the FSOC. I am one of the regional contacts, for South Wales, and our "Lizzie" has made several appearances in the magazine over the last 5 years since we have had her. Looking back through the back issues on the website, there are other mentions throughout the years. It is a great club to be a part of and you are right, the club magazine is excellent.

Where did you get that rubber

I've just got my old 100e out of storage to get ready for my daughters school prom , its a 1957 anglia deluxe , totally original , never been welded , or painted ! In black the same as yours , nice too see yours , it looks great ❤

Can't stand watching a foreigner video messing around with American tin

Geoff & Marty(the new morecambe & wise).Great vid,thumbs up.

Hi Mart, It's Maggie with the Green 100e,I was wondering if you was attending Old Ford Rally on the 21st July,if so looking forward to seeing you again with your 100e in the flesh so to speak. Loving your vlogs keep up the good work.😊

It shows you how important it is to have near perfect linkage on your throttle…… fiddly but satisfying 😎👌🏽nice one Mart.

Nice work Mart!

The thread cutting was a bit frustrating for you but apart from that really good set up overall .👌

The joys of threading on a lathe, it can be immensely satisfying or endlessly enraging, depending on the alignment of the stars. I like your clever fix on the linkage problem.

The famous Percy Vere. Well done sir....excellent neat fixes.

Far more satisfying to make something than it is to just buy everything,even if you could.Great to see the art of problem solving still exists. Well done love this channel!.

Very neat fix on that linkage.

It's looking pretty

Absolutely spot on fixing things with what you have lying around is old school instead of buying ready made solutions that costs more

😊

Having being driven around Brands Hatch in a D Type by a F1 test driver they are amazing cars.

Wonderful D-type. Can imagine mike hawthorn driving that!

We displayed our classic Ford Transit camper last month there, added bonus was free entry to the museum great displays of vehicles and some horrible BL prototype's and some great prototype's which would work today with their designs.

Can't understand why I never saw this the first time round... Think it's time to do it again!

Bloody hell that jag was stunning and not feert to put the boot down too😂

Star car for me was pea green Ha Viva ,my first car bought by myself for £40 .Prepared it for respray in BL Teal Blue ...loads of isopon pop rivets etc Paint shop at garage i worked in resprayed an oven baked it for price of paint..Happy Days..The Jag sounded brilliant great outside Broadcast Mart 👍Enjoyed the video 👍
