Hi Chet

I am slowly becoming a believer in "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

I am preparing the Plymouth for a 1900 mile trip in July this year and I'm just trying to think of things that might go wrong!

You might say that I'm just feeling a bit nervous about the trip as I have never done a rally as long as this one.

The good thing is that I will be with a group of friends whom has as much knowledge as you're self so I should be fine. I just need to relax and enjoy the once in 80 year experience.

Many thanks

Rodney Sydney, Australia.

Hi Chet

I took the 29U out for a short run and it held water no problem.
Thanks for you advice it was good to get it back on the road.

P.S I want to replace the spark plug leads, will modern ones be suitable if so what kind?

I think your 2 cents is worth more.

Thanks Chet & Chris

Hi Chet

Thanks for you 2 cents! I assembled the flange on the weekend and I will wait for the gasket sealant to set. I will post something when I take it for a test drive tomorrow.
I don't have any mechanical back ground so your 2 cents is very much appreciated.

Many thanks.

What do you think about cork/rubber gasket material?

Hi everyone

I need to replace the gasket between the head and the outlet flange on my 29U.
What type of gasket material do I use and any further tips with the procedure?
Hope all your cars will be ready for spring!

Drive Safe.

Many thanks

Great picture Doug something that my Plymouth wouldn't see a lot of being down here in the southern hemisphere! But in say that a few members from the vintage car club that I belong to are venturing down to Tasmania for two weeks this coming July where it does occasionally snow.

General Discussion / Re: Winged Radiator Cap question...

Hi

Pictured below is a radiator cap from my original 29U.
There are no markings at all on the radiator cap; it was the only part of the car that I didn't restore.
As you can see it was common for one of the wing tips to be missing.

Hi George

I would also like to welcome to the forum.

I see this forum as a kind of superannuation for my 29U.

The club I belong to spent the day celebrating all the cars built in 1928 a 80th Birthday party.
Next year my 1929U will also be turning 80, and I would like to celebrate 100 years. To do this this we need forums like this one and also to belong to a vintage vehicle club.

It was good to get out on the road with the top down and hit a cursing speed of 50 mph. What a day!

General Discussion / Re: Decode my fedco No?

Thanks Chet & Dave

Next year all our 29U's will be turning 80 and I would like to celebrate my 29U and finding out some dates would help.
I am hoping next year to tour around Tasmania in July of 2009 a nice way to celebrate 80 years of motoring!

How does the fedco number correspond with the number stamped just below the starter motor?
It looks as if the No 22 is attached with a small plate. Could this be the engines date of completion,
October 22nd 1929? My 29U was exported to Australia as a rolling chassis.

     A
301029-1
10 22 9

I have many numbers on the vehicle, engine, body and another strange engine number.
I am putting together a list of numbers that are on my 29U I will post them later.

What do you think?

Thanks, Rodney

40 mph is a nice smooth speed for Australian country roads, 40mph and 35-40 oil pressure.
I removed the old fabric webbing on the tail shaft and got rid of any vibration.

Hi all

My name is Rodney from Sydney Australia and my wife and I have a 1929 roadster which I have owned for the past 21 years.
I am the second owner of this rare vintage car. I belong to a vintage car club and all the members have played a big part
in keeping this roadster on the road! Thanks for this forum.
