Here is a very rare 9 inch original Aermore exhaust whistle. Includes exhaust pipe butterfly adapter and brass foot pedal. This is a very rare Aermore whistle, seldom seen. Its smaller size allows for a shrill train whistle sound using the lower T compression even at slow speeds. The whistle is abou...

Original T era brass Bermuda foot bell. Made by the Mogul Carriage Bell Co. The bell is in good condition, works as designed. It puts out a loud “Ding Dong” when the plunger is depressed by your foot. Mounts under your floorboard with the plunger sticking up. Neat original accessory, nice polish wi...

I think #2 is a modified Model S.

On further scrutiny, you might be right. Certainly has some aspects of an S. Interesting, I don’t think I’ve seen a photo of an S cut down into a speedster, and the starter crank is in an interesting spot.

What percent grade of stairs is acceptable on a tour?

ThreePedalTapDancer

Yes, grind down the weld. A hand held grinder with 4-1/2 60 grit flap wheel will do the job quickly. I’ve removed many bugger weld safety additions over the years.

Ok, I think I’ve found the source of the distributor. It is military, probably from a WW2 German truck or similar. A Phänomen (Eng. Phenomenon) Granit 1500, a light truck from Gustav Hiller AG and thus the later VEB Kraftfahrzeugwerk Phänomen Zittau. I found pictures of the same type of distributor ...

ThreePedalTapDancer

On further examination, I can see the Bosch distributor internals, as well as the points, are the exact same as used in a Porsche 356 that dates 1955-1963, as well as early VW. This confirms my belief that it’s was later conversion, or at least the distributor dates from that era. Next is to identif...

Interesting. The removal of the floorboards, combined with overfilling the crankcase with oil, allowed an oil mist maelstrom to form, and the weight of the overfilled oil forced to the back of the crankcase by the highway speed of the trailer, enabled oil to be squeezed out of every available openin...
