Ok, finally have a green flag from SAAC as the new registrar in the states and the old SAAC records given to me which I hope to merge with UK group to allow a new publication of an AC AKL registry.
It would be similar to the new cool spring and buggy spring registries.
....Stories
.......Specification
.......,,,Model options
Maybe interview with Ford engineer that worked with Anglis on these cars.
Then detail updates to previous big book.
Idea is digitize so we can reprint and keep cost reasonable every 3-5 years.
Goal is by year end....

So the radiator finally needed a tune up. It was not leaking simply seeping regularly.
Getting a new one, thought I had one. But nope. 

Removed, recored and reinstalled.
No leaks and runs steady. Worth the effort and maintained original essence of car.

New project
Add Sunburst wheels to my MKIV
The trick will be to retain the original exhaust ......
Offset and tire size will be key
Planning Goodyear Power Cushion
Newly cast wheels

All,

Planning to try and use n MKIII wheel on the MKIV. 
Has anyone done this without a huge amount of fuss?
Looks like the MKIV boss or hub is of smaller diameter thus no fit....
Ideas, Thoughts, input???

Guys

Installed my soft top, I have no owners manual to reference any details. 
Is there a max speed while driving with soft top.  I don't want to damage car or top if it cannot exceed a certain speed. 
Basically can you drive 65-70 mph without issue?

Fellow owners

Looks like I will be helping/aiding with the AC portion of the SAAC registry.
Hope to get some support from this website as I think tracking our cars are important.
Before sending information to me I will be adding a registry sheet to this forum.
Trying to keep it easy and also informational as it is all part of the process and good for our individual cars.

Registry adds value
Registry adds to the history
Registry adds records of each owner
I’ll post Registry form very soon then you can send your favorite picture and car history via email. I will add appropriate email address upon adding form!

Hey, it’s fun.
I thank you for your support before hand.
Jeff

Guys

My car 1985 carburtated car
The car has 8400 miles and all stock
As I start the car and let it idle it will rapidly start to flood
What happens as a trickle effect happens allowing fuel to start dumping into the carburetor
I have rebuilt the carburetor changed all the gaskets checked visually all emissions lines
Could this be a simple omissions fix possibly pulling a vacuum from somewhere,  broken emissions valve.
Anyone else experienced this

Guys,

I have been looking over pictures as I think my dome light is not stock.
The stock one looks like a clear marker light by Lucas, this so?

Thanks

Sitting issues:

Quality is great, rides great and look forward to more sunny days.
