Next - paint the tips fl white …

So the fix - this is optivisor stuff - was to wind some .08 wire and clip off a small peice To slip onto each plug - I’m sacrificing scale accuracy - but now these things look like spark plugs …

The sp plugs wires clip to the tip of the plugs at right angles - per the engine bay photos way back in page 1 - so to get a secure atrachment i made some plugs fr .024 alu tubes- w an RB Motion nut - so i can secure the plug wires with a rivet that slides into these “plugs” - problem is - they don’t really look like spark plugs …

Wait ! I got those too !!

It is. Isnt it ?

Thank you mr meat …

FOR OUR INTREPID BOARD MEMBERS …. once youre done on saturday with you board maintenance- please slide this thread over to the other racing thread … gracias …

Thru a Becassa phone app - hope you like these …

After the ohio show - fill up the tank and drive it to salt lake city next may …

…. Installed …

Gracias magnetos …

Had to stop and go back to page 1. - Yup. This WAS an Impala …

Next - the sump, the magnetoes, and/or mosquitoes - ….. and finally some spark plugs !

So here’s Plan B - which uses individual lengths of solder - which will attach to the pump housing a little like the one to one …. But solder does not like glue - using CA - and i need to use a little xtra and limit handling after glueing …

Water pipes - using solder - need the pipes to be pliable …. But this was a fail so to plan B …

Pump housing was filed and turned in a lathe at slow speed using Evergreen plastic …

The tank straps … would they bend easier if heated before bending and painting ? And or would could they be replaced by tin strip - which is softer ? ??

We do we do …. !!!

I think i know what the fix is …

Youre quite good with the BMF …. Ive got to apply some to the forward frame section of my Delage - what tool(s) do you use to burnish the foil … ??

The first picture is a section of the great cutaway drawing of the engine for the 1927 Delage - the engine is a straight 8 but it was designed by Lory - who refined the 2LCV engine - and it carries many of that engine’s features forward …. The second photo is from a period photo of the 2LCV engine - again fr the Borgeson book - and shows a pump that looks like the later one - although it has to collect water fr 2 pipes rather than one - because the engine is a V12 instead if a straight eight - this will do …. By the way - you’ll notice that the cutaway was done by Max Miller - Miller and Cresswell were responsible for most of the early cutaway drawings of racing cars that we all fawn over …

so the water pump is hidden below the magnetos and not very visible in pictutes - when im stuck for information an a pre-war GP engine - my go-to is this great old book ..

Wing very good

Yup ..

thank you Mr L probably the reason that you hadnt noticed this is that the project was dorment for over a year whilst I chased down some Cooper and Lotus related rabbit holes ...
