Hi Guys,

Anyone have a wiring diagram for the Royale ?

Particularly interested in the main dash CAV switch panel.

Need to understand the way that the dynamo wires in.

Thanks.

Vintage, PVT & 2 Litre Forum / 1925 AC rebuild Update

« on: January 10, 2018, 10:08:49 »

Hi Guys,

Happy New Year.

Been doing a bit since last posts so thought I'd start a new thread.

Car was stripped and body removed after letting in some new timber to keep braced.
Engine sent to local guy who and can't wait to get it running. It's had hardened exhaust valve seats fitted, modified Iveco valves, modified Nissan Micra pistons, new hardened tappet rollers. Carburetor tho old is not original but will do for now (it came fitted on car so is expected to work).
Rear brakes relined and rebuilt. New speedo cable. Speedo, 8 day clock and oil pressure gauges sourced. Ammeter away being rebuilt.
We are not restoring the paintwork and want the car to look old.
Latest challenge is sourcing a starter motor !

Will post some pictures once I work out how on this site.

Vintage, PVT & 2 Litre Forum / How to - Remove brake drums AC Royal

« on: June 12, 2017, 21:21:26 »

Hi all,
   
   Proceeding with the strip down and rebuild and I'm unsure how to proceed with the rear brake drum removal.
   I have undone the large hub nut and can see that there is a pin thru the hub and half shaft. Do I drift out the pin and use a puller to remove the hub complete with the drum attached and off the half shaft or do I undo the hub flange retaining nuts (x 5)and pull the hub and half shaft out as there is more to be undone to release the drum ?
   
   Thanks in anticipation

Just a quick post to say hello.

   It is a 4 owner car originally sold in Chester and has remained around the Wirral and North Wales all of it's life.
