While searching for something completely different I came across this you tube video.
The commentary is truly awful, but scroll through to 29:40 for the car.  I think the video must be a few years old.

Hello 57,
Sorry I don’t have one. Can I warn you to be careful of any new Lucas parts that come in the green and white boxes. There is a lot of rubbish out there posing as original stuff. I am not saying it is all bad. Try to get things from a reputable supplier. I have even been the victim of new crap being put in an old fashioned box and been sold as new old stock.
I did however replace a solenoid with one from Holden Vintage spares. It is not original pattern but it has put me on until I get round to sorting things out. The one I got has a push button on the end. Just don't push the button with the ignition on and the car in gear.

Your welcome!
Just to complete the discussion, info to other members that might want to know how the mail feature is set up:
From the forum main menu, select "My Messages" , you end up in the "Inbox" display
Then select "Preferences" by holding the mouse cursor over Preferences
and then select "Change Settings" from the pop-up menu displayed.
There are a selection of options you can set/select from the page displayed, the most significant are:
"Notify by e-mail when you receive a personal message", this will send a notification to the e-mail address
you have in your forum profil. The system does not forward messages as far as I know.
"Receive personal messages from: All members etc (there are four options to select from)

I don't know if forwarding a message works to an external e-mail address but I haven't needed to do so as yet.......

If you need a full user description, select Help from the main menu and then select the Personal messages Topic link

Ace, Aceca & Greyhound Forum / Re: Are early AC engined Ace's gearboxes identical to 2 litre's ones

« Last post by PaulAnderson on April 15, 2024, 15:10:47 »

The gearstick is different as the ACE had a much shorter stick to clear the dashboard.
The other difference is the actual gear stick turret. On the ACE box is is much shorter than the 2 litre version.
Again, this was to help clearance on the gearbox tunnel. It is also the same as on the Morgan boxes.
Billy Berringer of Morgan fame produced some DRIVELINE versions as I recall.
The Clutch Pedal on a 2 litre joins directly to the cross shaft whereas the ACE is an hydraulic affair.
To use a 2 litre box you have to jig the shaft around a little and get a slave cylinder stay bar.

Because it is at present a very sensitive issue under negotiation.  As a successful businessman I'm sure there are matters in which you have been involved which you would not wish to be discussed publicly until they were resolved.

I placed an item of news of serious concern about the AC Owners’ Club Limited on our club member’s forum.
I hereby openly question why Brian Moseley removed this topic as it is already in the public domain?

Hello Paho,
I am a little, at a loss as to your post. Can you please explain how the email system is used. I have sent a message to the recipient in the last postings and he has sent one to me. I haven’t, and he hasn’t, received an email. All we have is a message on the forum. Is that what you mean or am I missing something?
