Re: New card doors - Plywood, varnish and PVA

Great.
Can you please respond asking them to put that up as an item on ebay because others want to buy it.
then post the link.
Door cards are the most wanted cards because they damage due to the wind down windows.

Those from ebay look ok but they don't appear to list just the cab doors - may have to drop them a line.

I tried that and got no reply but no harm in lots of people doing it then they will realise they are missing out on business.

Re: Ignition Timing Marks

Adjustable strobes always catch me out as I forget to zero them. Very dangerous. Mine's a pain as it defaults to 10°, even if power is interrupted for just a moment. Easily missed!

To answer your question you use BTDC mark if the strobe is not adjustable
if the strobe has adjustability then set to zero and use BTDC mark or set strobe to 5 degrees BTDC and use TDC mark

Adjustable strobes always catch me out as I forget to zero them. Very dangerous.

Re: Door card restoration

Looks great. I'm hoping to fit some 5 inch speakers in the cab door. How are you finding the sound and what material and mm depth did you use for the spacers? Are the spacers just screwed into the (new) door card section or did you add something behind it? Cheers, John 12mm mdf as it cuts nicely, I...

Still perfect, applying anything adhesive needs to be clean and dry and tape is usually pressure sensitive which is why I rollered it after applying.
