MK1 Singer Chamois

[John A. Ross]

It does indeed Dave, I still need to make one for the hazard lamp switch now that I found one and also te choke control which I have relocated to below the shelf (I did not have one on the floor

Looks a great match Dave, top work as usual

[Dave Lane]

Having had these 3 years ive finally fitted the rear wood cappings that match the door ones .
Bit tricky on this because as you can see they are shorter than standard due to the cage so as with most stuff on here its modified

Pre winter antifreeze check.
Cocked up the Singers slightly as its on 52% and has been since i changed its stat ages ago .
Vuskys engines still warm from loads of running around so that can wait til later

Nice job on the mdding Dave, just playing with getting some deptha nd lacquer on some capping myself, looks like it is meant to be like that

Thats always my plan , glad it worked

[PMCG]

Good idea on the coolant check, reminds me to give Mildred a once over.

More Singer shenanigans .
Fitted a flat fiberglass boot base as i did in the Vusky ,
Then replaced both supply wires from the ignition switch to switched fuse box using that special Radox 155 cable - and of course using the correct colour of white .
Then after some checks its first fire up in a month , started first time after a bit of cranking over

This however is a mess --- although it works fine

[John A. Ross]

Dave, nout you can do on the wires unles you yank it all out. Those multi pole connectors I used on DDG work very well.

The tank ribs are a pain, remember thos Nitendo Wii fit mats ? those cut up nice as well to fill the ribs. Great for bottom of rear pockets as well.

Nice work young man

A use for some offcuts of that red fiberglass .
Rear pocket bases

[John A. Ross]

Always though it was a shame they never lined the pockets Dave, especially in the chammy,

One of the things I always thought about was making a pocket "insert" to pull out to clean, cleaning down there was always a pain

[Dave Lane]

it is , nout in mine ATM

[Dave Lane]

Wrenched the boot carpet out of a scrap Focus and after a bit of butchery part of its now in the Singer to replace the rubber mat which has perished somewhat .
Well i say carpet but its not really , its more like 2mm thick felt .
Long term plan is to edge it with something , what , how and when is anyones guess .
Got enough left to do the Vuskys one day

[John A. Ross]

Dave, old door seal crimped on to carpet edge ? or could it even go over the bump and crimp the felt on tank edge ?

[Dave Lane]

Trial CNC machined alternator bracket fits a treat

[Colimp66]

Dave,
They look properly well made, sets of the engine bay a treat.

Nice.

Cheers
