Have been unable to locate the chassis number best i can do is a 50c piece size circle with an S stamped sideways into it on the left front chassis behind the wheel , the engine number is R581935.
i have posted another photo of a bracket behind the cab and if you look below the rear window you can just see another clip of some sort , any idea what this may have been for.
Cheers Shaun

It may have been fitted with a canvas flap to cover the rear window opening rather then have had glass fitted when new.

Am chasing a starter motor for my 1940 41 Chev 6cyl 215 engine i think. Old one is to costly to repair and it has the starter cast bracket broken as well. Also need a carbie kit for the standard Carter Carbie. Who could i contact that may have parts.

G'day Shaun,

Been through this recently,

Kits for W1's are available from this bloke
http://www.classiccarbs.com.au/

Not sure how familiar you are with the W1 but heres a couple of things I learned after rebuilding one.

Be very patient with the brass slotted head fittings you'll have to remove to get into the circuits and ports. If you burr them (badly) they will prob never come off. In which case a lot of Carbie cleaner & compressed air will have to do.

The kits (off this guy) come with only the accelerator port brass fitting but it does have all the gaskets you will need and an accelerator pump.

Two suggestions...... hunt around for a siezed or broken W1 - and get out any of the brass fittings you can. Heat the carbie with an oxy then squirt the WD40 on the fittings - should free them up before you attack them with a screwdriver.

Might be telling you how to suck eggs - hope it goes smoothly

Thanks Tony , i will chase him up , did you say there was no accelerator pump in the kit.

Hi Shauno - don't know whether you received my PM 5 May, but you probably will also need this.

Hi Bob

Thanks for the info on the dash , i am concentrating on getting it running properly first so i can move it around , dont know yet if i will restore or pass on to some one else, as i have a Ford Blitz coming home shortly. I found a spotless cab for the chev on a property last week , i will bring it home as its to good to leave behind. have been unable to find a starter motor as yet
cheers Shaun
