Re: such a shame..car and motorcycle museum fire.

Re: Solex spares
I believe that the same 26AHD carburettor was used in the Peugeot 190 S, I have a photo of it, a search on t’interweb might bring more info, but France may be a better starting point for your search, (France eBay).

Re: Replace/Repair Petrol tap filter gauze
I have bought some of these gauzes off eBay, strip the plunger out the body, with a Stanley knife carefully cut and shave the old gauze away from the body, this will reveal a nice solder ring for you to attach the new one to, flux it and put it in a vice ready for the new filter, cut the new filter ...

Re: Healey coming up for auction
Silicon bronze welding is the preferred way to build these type of frames, the process relies on adhesion not fusion, the secret is cleanliness and fluxing the area to be welded, it is a oxy- acetylene process and the big advantage is that, if it is done properly, you get a fillet on the inside of t...
