That was fantastic

Should have used a bit of string so you could pull the new1 through😂 I'm doing mine , it's not stuck, it makes an awful cluck noise when central locking..does my swede in.

15:30 They should make a "Balls Of Steel" class for these kinda things to run in.

Thanks for the tip about lubricating the bellows with WD40

We shouldn't have to put up with worsening produced products, its a throw away society now and companies are cashing in on cutting corners in terms of quality & robustness. Many years ago I had a decent pair of Ross headphones (late 70's) and they lasted years of abuse. In the last few years I have had a few headphones where the ear surrounds have just fallen apart after a few months. This is just one example that comes to mind but I have experienced quite a few badly produced products these days, I keep hearing myself saying it's the 21st century and this is what we get now! Further I also realise I sound more like a grumpy old man having just turned 60!! It is our passage of right for we have successfully attained the age with experience rendered.

Tony! The water's coming in from the clouds 😂. Joke.

Except the fact that I can’t open it, no matter what I do.

Always love to see the majestic Beast of Turin on track.

Great video and advice - much appreciated!!

I’m glad you found the video interesting, as you say, a technique from the past, but still relevant for old engines.

Thank you good sir. I did find this video very helpful. I remember as a kid learning to build engines with my dad and I found some of these old core plugs. I asked my dad what they were for as they wouldn't work on any of the Chevy engines I was working on. He told me they were used similar as the cup style freeze plugs on a Chevy, but were used on older style engines that had a lip to rest against. I never ran across one of those engines, but now that I watched your video, these are exactly as my dad described them. He sadly passed away in 2013, but now I know. Thanks

I am a new subscriber !! I hope to see more of these awesome machines!!

Thank you for sharing these beautiful cycle cars....Super cool video!! I have been assembling a machine shop to support my CZcams channel that I will be starting with the build of a 1928 Morgan RIP GN special 3 wheeler with 4 wheels. I am using an experimental aircraft opposed twin supercharged engine. This will be mated to an MG 4 speed manual gearbox with a 2 piece hand cast aluminum adapter. This will be connected to an MG differential with beautiful wire wheels. The frame I stood over steel and will have aircraft cloth stretched over and sprayed with plasticizer. This will have a boat tail look and is essentially a 20's airplane without a propeller or wings. There is only one other in existence and Charlie Martin races it in the UK. The next project lined up is the building of a Brooklands style cycle car similar to the Pembleton. This will have a BMW R-100 engine in the front and four wheels with gorgeous leather interior and even space for luggage. I look forward to seeing everyone over at the channel when it gets warm out enough to be in the barn in Pennsylvania .....

Super video,how long for gasket cement to dry before you add coolant.

Tie a string to the wiring before pulling back the cable. That same string, when you attach it to the new replacement, makes it easier to pull the wire through the holes.

Top job.

What a very professional video, came across you by accident looking for something else. As a CZcams channel classic car restorer it was an absolute pleasure watching you rebuild the pump well done.

What an amazing video!! but....now I would be to scared to try this. I told my husband I thought I could do side curtains because I do sew. But the punches you have and the equipment you used I would not have. I am going to have to rethink this now. Yours looks absolutely wonderful!!!! Thank you, Cindy

About to rebuild a s3 landrover pump from 1974, hopefully I get it right....

thanks. do you know off any membrane that can tolerate ethanol?

Nice video thank you. Very informative.

Same same for ford prefect 1947

Check the seals behind the light clusters where the wires pass through the body.

Great video

Perfect video, Thanks for lots ❤

Thank you so much for a perfect video of the process! I just rebuilt the pump from my 50 MG TD. The aluminum plate was stamped 50 19 I assume that means it's the original pump for the car. I bought a kit with all the bits... diaphragm, points, check valves and the fiber washers... it also included a new varistor to save the ponts. It also contained the 11 "washers" that go around the diaphragm. The new ones are brass, the original ones are aluminium. The kit included the "funnel" the check valve sits in, it was brass, the original was aluminum. I actually did not have to go back in and unscrew the diaphragm a hole or two. I have to look in my garage, I think I tried to rebuild a pump 20+ years ago and it didn't work. I had given up and bought a new one... I'll bet there is a spare in my garage with new points and diaphragm that just needs to be adjusted....

any help with fitting a replacement fuel flap cover for a Citreon DS3 2015 thanks

What is the use of looking at these wonderful cars without anyone telling you what they are

Thanks for passing on your knowledge. much appreciated

The perfect video-guide for a complete rebuild. Thanks a million!

Hi, I sure hope you read this comment. I'm having a lot of trouble with the distributor apparently I really screwed up when I set my timing. I didn't follow anything that you put out there. Now I understand a whole lot more. But when I tryed to start the car, the motor spun. Then it dragged real hard. The motor spun and then dragged real hard. And then my electricity was gone. Actually, my electricity was gone everywhere horn ,lights etc. What do you think I did? And how do you think would be the type of thinking I would have to combat it. I sure would appreciate any help, Thanks

I can't beleave they didn't add a key option to unlock in case of emergency.... CRAPPY design!!!!

No battery cars yet, I noted.

I prefer to apply the sealant into the groove of the seal.

Thanks Tony. Helpful video even for this old time A owner. If I may make a suggestion, it would help if you showed the exact position of your alligator clamps on the points. Your hand blocks the view to that very important position. Ray Horton Portland, Oregon

Thanks !!!!

Do you need to disconnect the (-) of the battery?

Nice clear video Tony, thank you very much.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT FUSE THE WIDOW MOTOR CONNECTED?

Very helpful

2 18,, a 4.2 badge from a 70s Holden.

Un grand merci Tony ! As you can guess I found no vidéo in French on this subject :)

Absolutely wonderful!! I love these autos. These were the true good ole days!! Thank you for the video.

What a wonderful show,what a pity no one bothered to say what they were

great video - many thanks

I was there and it was a great event. But the heroes were the owners of the Beast of Turin and another 20s land speed record car- who drove them both there on the public roads from Bristol! Really unbelievable, they should have made a documentary about just that.

Thanks Tony! I feel more at ease to tackle the job now, I think in the case of my 1953 Singer Roadster 4AD SM 1500 that I recently bought, whoever put the core plugs in did not spread them enough, I have however bought new core plugs , and hope like heck they are indeed the correct size!

It was very helpful, fantastic job with great explaining 👏 👍 👌

Really nice Video, thank you so much!
