so if I understand you Alex I can measure the ID of the hand crank pulley and create a rod with a pin which is drilled thru the rod like a T. This slips into the crankshaft.
I think we can fashion up something like that. Cameron

Cameron, Here is what they look like, with my scale next to it. This end is pushed into the crankshaft end, then stout men rotate it - be careful - as the Ford motors have been known to spring to life robustly! Stewart |

perfect. I'll fab one of those tomorrow. I also plan on calling Mac's tomorrow and getting some ignition parts. Would mac's not have the head gaskets? If not, how do I get in touch with Bob in Ottawa?

I am pretty sure that Bob only has the valve cover gaskets for the sidevalve Ford engines. ![]() I think he lurks on this site - but he is sleepy now - still hibernating I think. Could one of the Ottawa Rotters poke him with a stick to see if he has come out of his cave yet this year? I will PM you about that radiator cap - how are you set for a Mk2 dash? Stewart |

Our carrier ran again today after minor surgery. There was one broken valve guide, which showed evidence that it has been like it for a while: (I had a feeling it was only running on 7) and two stuck intake valves.
It will run through town on ANZAC day next week, first time for 3 years. Hope the Mk II project is progressing, Piper Rob |

Hi Rob
Yep, we're making headway. I just got a full set of gaskets for the UC 2 days ago along with a dizzy adapter plate, wires, 2 dizzy caps, point set and coil. I'm in the process right now of removing the carb and fuel pump. I took the heads off and cleaned the valves, piston tops etc. There was a ton of carbon there and looked like they'd never been cleaned. Messy work. Once the heads were off I sandblasted the outer side of them to clean up years and years of bad paint jobs and then I powder coated them gloss black. Purists of course will tell me that the original look is different but we're not spending any extra $$ on this job unless absolutely necessary. This carrier doesn't belong to us but the local legion. Anyway, I have to pull the intake manifold and clean what's beneath it. I suspect a lot of really gunked up springs and valves. I'm going to do the carb with a new carb kit and am contemplating getting a new fuel pump, the electric kind. Sooo, I guess you could say we've been busy! Cameron
