I think I have never shown the panels of the doors covering the front wood brace at the A-column.
I made the panel wrt. to the outline of the wood brace. During the re-skinning of the doors during the restoration of the body in the body shop this brace was undergirded with some aluminium strips to fit the outline of the body.
Although after painting you can't see this section (especially not if the door is closed) I don't like this solution very much. So, new panels must be produced.
Same problem on the other side.
and with the new panel
Another "little project" was an angle drive adapter for the Type 9 gearbox. You can buy this from EuropaSpares
https://www.europaspares.com/angle-drive-for-ford-gearbox.html or a little bit cheaper from at BurtonPower
https://www.burtonpower.com/90-degree-speedo-drive-adaptor-gbt9560.html. The BurtonPower solution looks quite similar to the one from Speedograph Richfield
http://www.speedograph-richfield.com/html/rgb1030.html. The great advantage at Speedograph is that they can make a special ratio for you to fit your speedometer. After some e-mails between them and me we found the right ratio.
Due to their manufacture process the output shaft is an internal square of size 3 mm. That's not perfect for me since I need a 2.7 mm square tube and the output shaft must be a little bit longer.
Looking for 2.7 internal square tubes I found extensions for 3 mm screw tap.
It fits perfectly.
Now, the question is how can I mate this extension with the output shaft?
First, I trimmed the head of the extension on the lathe and shortened the output shaft.
then a little fiddle welding task
and trimming again
Now, the angle drive looks like I would like it
and I can connect a VDO hall sensor with a M18x1.5 thread
The sensor will be used later for a electronic trip master. Installing it in the car ...
Next task will be the tank. I had to notice that the tank cannot be installed when rear lower control arms are mounted
. I guess it is 5 to 10 mm to long.
