Ace, Aceca & Greyhound Forum / Aceca doors
« on: March 25, 2014, 09:42:18 »
After 15 years of restauration effort time has come to get my Aceca AE 501 back on the road. She's now back on her first colour scheme "maroon" and one years work on the 60 years old leather has ended in usable Interieur with that special patina you can't buy for money. I think, this may be the only 3 seater in the market? First owner Ken Rudd decided to give her a little bench instead of a co-drivers seat [8D].
One of the last problems to solve is the flush closing of the doors. After fitting the new door seals, both doors come out about 5 mm when closed. The big sprockets on the doors show no signs of extensive wear, but after the "click" they come back just this little amount. The next "click" is too far away because of the new seals. What would you prefer to do???
By the way - if anyone of the readers has any information about the history of AE 501 or AEX 201 (my Ace) please don't hesitate to tell me even the smallest thing.
Hoping to get some usefull hints - happy motoring for all,
Chris
P.S. if someone tells me how to put some pics in, I'll try my very best!
