Just to add to the old fuel comments...on the Canadian series Ice Pilots, (great reality series if you like old airplanes) two mechanics were sent to an airport to get at DC3 ready to be put back in service. It had been sitting for a number of years.
They could not get the engines to start. Avgas is refined to have long storage life as it often sits in barrels for years in remote area...

R Wilson, on your diagram the nut in question on mine is 31RH, 65LH, both LH on mine.

Im wondering about 64 as well...not sure what that part is

This is an adventure.

As an added note, one of my bearings (58) was a bit rough, so I spent an hour with the bearing guy at my local parts supplier and I "think" I have identified modern tapered bearings and an oil seal (66)...

Well, I have attached the parts list diagram of the Y/YT front suspension, and I did think that one of the nuts; 57RH or 61LH, was the nut in question. The complementary stub axle is one piece with its steering knuckle, 84RH or 85LH.
Anyway, regarding the hubs, the diagram shows that there are two; 72RH & 73LH, for RH and LH assemblies. However, as the wheel studs, part number 74, are the same...

Hi all :

Newbie here with a number of questions :

I just acquired a 1949 YT.

Is it normal to have to remove the bonnet (engine hood) in order to replace the battery ? Is there a smaller battery size that would eliminate this bonnet removal please ?

Does anyone have a picture of where and how the Altette horn should be mounted please ? At the moment it sits on th...

My sister used to live in Oxsted and volunteered in a few of the local charity shops and she said it was amazing how much designer stuff came in, much apparently unused, and likely unwanted presents.

Thought it was only me that repaired handbags - repair cafe - this one needed a new eyelet making and re - threading.
The original being spot welded and failed.

🤣.

Yep, the house is filled with dozens of them. Courtesy of the wife who can't keep off ebay looking for bargain designer bags with minor things like missing hinges. This one is Chanel. Worth loads a money she tells me. 🙄. And then it's me that has to fix it. 8🤣🤣.

Must admit she does sometimes make a killing. Bought one bag for 20 quid, badly advertised and priced on...

You didnt strike me the type that has a handbag but good for you if you do LOL!!!

Well now. Curiouser and curiouser. Today, my dear wife of 42 years (who's counting)rang me from town to announce that the Y was refusing to even crank to return home - even though it has behaved faultlessly until now. On test, she (the car) fired up immediately with my leccy mate's jump starter. BUT - the meter indicated no charge from the dynamo; the battery voltage rose to an alarming 16+ as soo...

Welcome to UK cars in the USA - no bodge is off the tables!

You should see some of the horrors that have come through my shop to fix.
