Re: 1934 Spark/ Ignition Issue
I have had a few condensors fail on me whilst driving, the car just dies and wouldn't start again. I now always carry a spare one with me in the glove box just in case.

Re: 1935 Coupe front 6 dash screws and mounting?
the beaded material looks like piping used on the edge of seats and the like, that piping only has a 3mm bead on it.
you can buy piping cord and cover it in cotton for a similar look I guess.

Re: My most recent acquisistion

Re: condensor keeps going bad
Terry the cap I use is an original Lucas cap - you don't get repro caps for the lucas dizzy.
Its not easy to get the cap on and off, I can probably get pics of it but it wouldn't be easy.
