I am having problems with achieving consistent running when returning to idle when cool and when warm.
   I have standard carbs. 11/4inch H2
   What is the correct needle size for this engine?

Ace, Aceca & Greyhound Forum / AC Engine CL mark crankshaft

« on: January 06, 2013, 11:57:44 »

[ My original crankshaft has a I1/2 inch crack in one of the webs, not obvious, may have been there since birth but costings of repair by laser welding plus age of shaft (30 thou machined)made me decide to have one made.  Is the old one any good to anyone?
   Must be at no cost to me, I live in Canberra, Australia.
   Will scrap it if no response.=Arial][/font=Arial][size=6][/size=6]

Ace, Aceca & Greyhound Forum / Aceca/Ace AC engine - brake boost

« on: April 05, 2011, 13:34:20 »

I smashed my right ankle when driving my Ace under a cattle lorry in 1963 and have restricted movement plus arthritis.  Want to add vacuum brake booster to reduce effort.  Have fitted rack and pinion steering which gives more space under exhaust pipes.  Has anyone fitted a brake booster? Can they advise on what, how and where to fit?

Ace, Aceca & Greyhound Forum / ACECA Interior Light

« on: December 16, 2010, 01:59:41 »

Mine has a chrome metal rectangular body and the end profile shows a semicircular profile to the 'glass'(plastic).  It has its own switch.  "Glass' is very yellow and cracked, switch is dodgy but recoverable.  I cannot locate a manufacturere's identity but I dont think it is a Lucas product. I removed it 7 years ago and wonder if it should have a separate metal base which I have lost as the switch is rather exposed underneath and could be a hazard with the roof lining etc.  Does anyone know its make etc? a source for a replacement 'glass'? or a suitable replacement 'look-a-like'?  What size lamp should it take?

Ace, Aceca & Greyhound Forum / Inserting glass rubbers

« on: September 15, 2008, 07:10:09 »

AC ACECA - I have new rubbers for windscreen inner and outer, rear window and also the front and rear quarter lights. I now have to fit them as part of my rebuild activity. My ACECA has the square bottom corner windscreen.  I thought there might be an entry gate to allow the T section rubber to slide in, but no.
   Has anyone any guidance on how its best done? any special tools or lubricants?
